How do i fix my cell phone that was dropped in water?
Act FastIf you’ve dropped your phone in water, you may be able to save it, but you must act quickly. The longer the water sits inside the phone, the more damage it will do. If the phone is on, turn it off. If it’s off, leave it off. Do not turn it on to test it; doing so can cause a short circuit. Take the phone apart immediately. Remove the battery and SIM card, if there is one.Remove the WaterBlot up any visible water with a towel. Don’t scrub. If you have a can of compressed air or a vacuum with a small attachment, use it to blow or suck as much water as possible out of the components. Do not use a hair dryer; the heat can damage the components.Dry It OutHalf-fill a bowl with uncooked rice. Add the phone parts, and cover with more rice. The rice is a desiccant–it will pull moisture out of the phone. Leave the rice bowl overnight.
