Did your cell phone recently get wet? Is it no longer
working? Don't worry; try putting it in some rice! You’ve probably heard a
story similar to this one: “My died after it fell into the toilet, but he put
it in a container of rice and now it’s fine!” Conventional thought says the
rice will suck the moisture right out of the phone and restore it to life. Hey,
I saved my phone by putting it in a container of uncooked rice overnight… it
must be true!
I hope rice can help save your water damaged cell phone too!
Acting quickly reduces the risk of water to damage deep
inside the phone, however don't panic. There still may be hope. Just follow
these steps and you'll have a good chance
STEPS
1. Grab your phone out of the water as quickly as possible
and turn it off immediately, as leaving it on can cause it to short circuit
2. After removing the phone from water, gather some paper
towels or soft cloths to lay the phone on while you remove the battery cover
and battery
3. Do not shake your phone and do not apply any kind of heat
in your phone.
4. Remove all the peripheral device like simcard, memory
card etc. wherever the SIM cards survive in water, but getting it out
immediately makes good sense
5. You can use vacuum cleaner to suck out water, you don’t
have it, it’s ok you can use the high affinity absorbent substance like RICE
which dry water very well!
6. USE RICE:-
Submerge the wet
phone inside the bag of uncooked rice overnight, it’s an inexpensive method;
rice has high affinity of absorbing water
DON’T use a hair dryer to dry out a phone or blow the phone
using your mouth because:-
- It will force father moisture deep inside to the phone
- It will interfere with circuit and causes component
failure inside the phone.
Most of phones come with water sticker .so if your phone gets
wet these stickers colors will change from white to small draft line
If you’ve drowned your phone and there’s no getting it back,
head on to electronic store, Sometimes they can fix it or your drowned device
is probably still worth some good money.
Don't try to hide the fact that it has been wet - there are
internal indicators that prove moisture - and the repair people are more likely
to be able to help you if you explain exactly what has happened to the
phone. So trade the wet phone and you
can use the cash to help pay for a new one – or a waterproof case.
