ASUS ZenPad™ Z8s - Check for Physical Damage

Here's how to determine if your ZenPad Z8s has liquid or other physical damage.
  • Prepaid service customers
    : Visit a Verizon store to order warranty replacements. Orders for Prepaid warranty issues can't be processed via Customer Service.
  • Standard service customers
    : If you need to replace your device under warranty and the device has unreasonable wear and tear or any of the following, you could be assessed a damaged device fee.
Device damage examples include, but are not limited to:

Liquid or Corrosion Evidence

Follow these tips carefully to prevent damage to the device:
  • If device gets wet, dry it thoroughly with a clean, soft cloth.
  • Don't expose the device to saltwater or ionized water.
  • Allow the device to air-dry before using it.
  • Physical damage to your device such as chips and cracks can significantly reduce its ability to resist dust and water.
  1. 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.
