Saving or trying to save a wet phone.

Have you ever dropped your phone in the sink, split a beer on it or even fell into the pits of the watery hell known as the toilet? When this happens your heart skips a beat and you try to quickly save your phone. Blowing on it, rubbing it with a towel, even using a hair dryer. There are a better way that will greatly increase the chances of saving your phone. Here are a few simple steps.

 
1. Turn the power off. If the power is already off then DO NOT attempt to turn it back on.

2. Take a part the phone gently, basically aim to remove all the components that can be easily removed such as SD cards, SIM cards, battery (Unless you accidentally bought an iPod where you can not remove the battery). Then try to allow as much air to get inside, do not shake it as that may force the trapped water deeper inside.

3. Now you need to find a way to remove the excess water trapped inside. I would recommend trying to ‘suck’ it out with the aid of a vacuum cleaner that has the extended nozzle pipe. Using the vacuum nozzle around all areas where water may have got trapped such as the mic socket or the charging port. Do not use previous recommendations such as oven, microwave or hairdryer as this uses heat that can melt the circuits finishing off your phone forever.

4. Now it has been to recommend to leave the phone in a bowl of dried uncooked rice as the rice extracts and soaks up any water that maybe left in the phone.

5. Moment of truth is to try out the phone. Ensuring the phone is completely dried out before turning it on. Hopefully it will work and you have saved your phone.
