Don’t despair when your phone gets wet. Even if you drop your phone in the sink, toilet or bathtub, you can still save your device. The most important thing you should do is act fast. Get your phone out of the water as quickly as possible. Next, turn off the power, remove the battery and remove all accessories. Try to dry the water in the phone as much as you can with a towel and vacuum cleaner. The next step is to place the phone in a bowl of instant rice or absorbent material for 48-72 hours before turning it on. With a little luck and quick action, your phone will “live” again.
Steps
Quick action to minimize the effect of water
- Turning off the circuit breaker is the safest way to do this.
- Do not turn on the phone to check if it still works.
- Read the manual that came with your phone if you are not sure how to remove the battery.
- This is one of the most important steps to save your phone. Many circuits in your phone will still work after being submerged in water if not connected to a power source (battery) when wet.
- To see if your phone is really affected by water, check the angle near the battery. You should see a white square or circle here. If it’s pink or red, your phone has been affected by water. [5] X Research Sources
- Some or all of your important contacts (along with other data) are stored on the SIM card. In most cases, saving the SIM card will be more important than saving the phone.
Dry the phone
- Rotate your phone to a different position every hour until you go to bed. This way, the water inside flows out and there is space to escape. [9] X Research Source
- White or brown rice doesn’t absorb as well as instant rice and isn’t as effective.
- Desiccant packs are small packages found in new shoes, new wallets, instant noodles, and other products.
- Speed is still the most important factor in saving a wet phone; so use rice or other desiccant if you don’t have a desiccant pack available.
- You can buy cat litter at most supermarkets and pet product stores.
- Do not use clay or other sand. Only glass sand, which is made from silica gel beads, is effective.
- Other hygroscopic ingredients like couscous seeds and instant oats are also effective.
- Wet/dry vacuums are especially effective in this step, if you have one on hand.
- This is the fastest method, can make the phone completely dry and work again in 30 minutes. However, you should not start the phone so early, unless it has been exposed to water for an extremely short period of time.
- Or, you can use a can of compressed air.
- Using a higher psi mode may cause damage to the phone’s internals.
- Do not use a hair dryer to dry the phone. Heat can damage the phone’s internal components.
- Avoid shaking or vigorous movement so that water does not flow elsewhere in the phone.
- The longer it waits before turning on the phone, the more likely it is to recover.
Advice
- Take your phone to a repair shop if you can’t handle it. They can recover your phone.
- Remember to be careful when placing your phone in rice as rice particles can stick to the charging/headphone port.
Warning
- Do not attempt to disassemble the phone unless you have been instructed to do so.
- Avoid drying the phone with heat as this will further damage the phone.
- Do not attempt to remove the charging cord while the phone is in water as you may receive an electric shock. Only take the phone out of the water after you have turned off the power at the charging cord outlet.
Things you need
- Paper towels or dry towels
- Vacuum cleaner
- Vacuum cleaner (optional)
- Large bowl with a capacity of 1-2 liters.
- 4 cups (about 750g) instant rice or cat litter
- Desiccant pack (optional)
