What happens when a tiny bit of spilled coffee leaks into phone bottom speaker?

[Supergodman12]

I had a clear case on

Turn it off and use electronic cleaner spray in the hole, it cleans and evaporates immediately when you spray it, smells like automotive brake cleaner

Switch it off. Remove the battery. Leave it to dry out in case coffee went in. Do you mean the microphone?

[Supergodman12]

No the speaker with grills on it

[Supergodman12]

can't the battery is built in

[Jessica405]

Iphone?

[Supergodman12]

No samsung phone

[Jessica405]

I thought samsung phones come apart with removable batteries?

[Supergodman12]

No the newer ones dont

[Jessica405]

A retrograde step. Just let it dry out and hope.

[Jessica405]

I'll stick with my 10 year old samsung galaxy ace. Full leather case. In pristine condition. Used all the time.

[Supergodman12]

I see the coffee spill was tiny though and i dont think it was super hot

[Supergodman12]

I tested youtube on it and can hear the speaker fine

[Jessica405]

Probably ok then. I hope so!

[Supergodman12]

Yeah would i notice anything if there was problems?

[Jessica405]

Probably just distorted audio. If it sounds ok, then noothing to worry about.

[Supergodman12]

Yeah the coffee was only a small drop when it spilled and it came around the clear case corner where the air bag part was

Your phone gets a short and corrosion and stops working properly.

[Supergodman12]

Ok but the sound is still working

[TheSpaceGnome]

You may have lucked out and none of it reached the internal componants.

[Supergodman12]

The spill wasn't big though

[TheSpaceGnome]

Transistors aren't big either. What matters is if the liquod gets passed the outside of the device and what componants get hit.

[TheSpaceGnome]

liquid*

[Supergodman12]

Ok what would i notice if they got hit?

[TheSpaceGnome]

It would either fail to turn on, or would turn off randomly, or not charge properly, or parts pf it eould stop working or be poorer in quality like speakers or microphone, it really depends on what got damaged, but in most cases where it makes it inside the device, it kills the battery and fries the motherboard.

[Supergodman12]

I see the spill was really small though
