how to save a wet cell phone

Here is some tips and tricks how to save a wet cell phone. Some times you got your phone wet because of rain, or your kid play with it and put it in the water, or maybe your phone accidentally dropped in the water. so it got wet.

The key for a wet phone are :

  1. The time. The sooner you handle your wet phone is the better to prevent more damage. So the the key is the time since you pull it from the water.
  2. Turn off your wet phone. If you feel that it takes longer to shutdown normaly just unplug the battery.
  3. Open your phone gently, remove the phone cover, the battery, keypad.
  4. Dry it with tissue or other materials that can absorb the water heavily
  5. Put it in the rice. What the heck? yes I haven't try it before, but some people suggest it. Mix parts of your wet phone (battery, keypad, phone cover) with the rice, for one or two minutes
  6. Now you can reassemble your dry phone, hope that it works fine.
For some reason, I still suggest you bring your phone to the service center, whether your phone back to normal or not . Because we don't know the condition of electrical board, processor inside your phone, is it still wet or not. The purpose is to prevent sort circuit in your phone.

That's All enjoy it.
