iPhone Pink Sensors

There are 4 sensors on your phone (picture examples are below) - 2 that you can't get to while opening, and the other 2 that you can see. The first one is in the small round hole on top left of the phone (the earpiece hole), and the other one is in the bottom middle that separates the connector. If you shine a light and look at either of these, the sensor will be pink if water has touched this area. Because of this pink sensor, the folks at the Apple store will not honor your warranty

In case you are not aware of these sensors, and planning to get an AppleCare for iPhone / claim warranty / buy used iPhone. Pink sensor = no warranty = you're screwed!

But, I heard there are some tricks to un-pink them.
