Tricks that Will Rescue Wet Cell Phone Water Damaged
We find for you 10 first aid tricks to a wet cell phone.
1. Remove the phone from the water as quickly as possible and turn it off. The parts of the phone get wet in a matter of seconds. Do not turn on the phone until you make sure it is dry. In addition, water can cause a short circuit.
2. Right after taking the phone out of the water, remove the lid and the battery. This will help to reduce the risk of damage to interior circuits. Dry the inside parts of the mobile carefully with paper napkins or a soft cloth.
3. Remove the SIM card. Dry it well and put it aside so that it is finished drying, until the cell phone can be used again.
4. Disconnect and remove all peripheral devices such as headphones, memory cards and anything that may obstruct any type of slots.
5. If you have a vacuum cleaner on hand, use it to absorb the water. To remove the traces of moisture, you have to vacuum each part of the mobile for 20 minutes. Turn the phone constantly so that each area is properly vacuumed.
Do not put your cell phone too close to the hose of the vacuum cleaner, otherwise you will produce a static electricity that is even more harmful to your device.
6. Do not use hair dryer to dry your phone, even in the soft mode. When using this device, you risk that the humidity passes from the surface of the mobile to its interior, which is very dangerous for the electronic components hidden there. You could also melt some of its parts.
7. You can try to dry your mobile by submerging it in a bag with dry rice. Rice is a good absorbent, therefore there is the possibility that all the humidity of the phone is absorbed by the rice and this prevents corrosion. Remember to put the lid and the battery in the same container but disconnected from the mobile.
Keep your mobile in that bag or container with rice for at least 2-3 days. This process is very slow and the rush would only do more damage. Flip your phone from time to time so that the water absorbs better.
Instead of rice you can use silica gel that is often found in shoes and clothes: it even absorbs water better than rice.
It is important that you check the phone every hour for the first 6 hours. If moisture accumulates on the surface, the device must be re-dried with paper towels or by vacuuming.
8. Put your mobile in a sunny place so that all holes and slots dry completely.
You can put it on absorbent napkins or paper towels, even if you had already vacuumed it or put it in a container with rice. This will help to absorb the possible remains of water from the device.
9. After at least 24 hours make sure your cell phone looks dry. Check all ports, slots and cracks. If the phone appears to be dry and clean, you can connect the battery and try to turn it on. You must be aware of all kinds of possible strange noises that your mobile can emit while you turn it on, these sounds would be a sign that something is malfunctioning.
10. If your phone seems dry but does not turn on, it may be because the battery is discharged. Put your phone charge and try again.
If you did not turn on either, you have no choice but to go to a service center. Do not hide that your phone suffered water damage, however you will discover it, but the more details about the accident, the easier it will be for specialists to repair your device.
