- Allow the device to air-dry before using it.

- To identify if your device has water damage, check for:
- corrosion, discoloration, or fuzzy growth on the charging, headset, SIM or memory ports.
- moisture under the display screen.
- Liquid Detection Indicator (LDI) / Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) activated.In the Galaxy Book Go 5G, indicators can be seen by examining the LDI under the Space Bar or either Shift key on the built-in keyboard. The LDI appears as a white solid, if the paper is tinted pink, or discolored, it is possible that the LDI has been tripped, and that the device may be demonstrating behaviors as a result of internal moisture damage.
