How to Recover A Cell Phone If It Gets Wet
March 16, 2013 // Posted by: cooldude // Category: Cell PhonesCell phones have become an integral part of our lives and one of the most common problems occurring with cell phones is damage caused due to the cell phone getting wet. If you have just dropped your phone in a bucket or if your phone has gotten wet in the rain then remove the phone from the water body as soon as you can.
Don’t panic and don’t shake the phone. We mostly shake phone when wet thinking the water will come out but what you actually might be doing is sending the water into other parts of the phone. Instead, dry the surface with a towel and then take out all the parts. Remove the battery, cell phone accessories (like headphones and peripheral decoration items) and the SIM card. Then wipe each part thoroughly with a dry clean and soft rag. After doing all this, let the phone dry pout with its parts still unattached. You should never use a dryer. After its dry put back all the parts and protect the screen with some kind of hard paper and keep it in a bowl of uncooked rice for 3 to 4 hours. They have a high affinity for drawing out moisture. If it still doesn’t work, give it for a professional repair.
