KYOCERA Cadence LTE - Check for Physical Damage

Here's how to determine if your Cadence has sustained 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

  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) is activated.
      Kyocera uses a white field with pink or red "X" marks to indicate a device that has had no liquid contact. When the indicator comes in contact with liquid, the "X" marks become pink or red smudge marks across the white field.
      LDI
      The Liquid Damage Indicators (LDI) are located:
      • inside in the battery compartment upper-right side.
