Easy method to save your submerged phone in water.
Got your phone submerged in water? Cry no more.
Submerging your phone in water isn't the end of it. You can
actually save your phone by yourself. Do not hesitate, follow
these steps below:
Step 1
Get your cell phone out of the water and remove the
battery immediately. This reduces the risk of a short
circuit.
Step 2
Remove the cell phone's SIM card quickly, as well, if
you have an older model cell phone where the SIM card
is easily accessible. If you cannot get the SIM card out
quickly, skip this step.
Step 3
Dry your phone and removed parts with an absorbent
cloth. Be careful not to damage any internal
components, just gently pat everything dry.
Step 4
Blast your cell phone, battery and SIM card with a can
of compressed air to remove any remaining water the
cloth did not absorb.
Step 5
Fill a large bowl or plastic bag full of white rice.
Step 6
Submerge the cell phone, battery and SIM card (if
removed) into the rice until completely covered.
Step 7
Leave the cell phone, battery and SIM card in the
rice overnight, but preferably for 24 to 36 hours.
Step 8
Remove the cell phone and its parts from the rice
after the allotted time period.
Step 9
Blast the rice dust off of each part with the can of
compressed air.
Step 10
Reassemble your cell phone and turn it on to see if it
is working.
You can also try another method using silica gel (that which is contained in a small bag when you get a new stuff like shoe).
Silica gel is a desiccant which means that it is hygroscopic (readily taking up and retaining water).
You can use lots to save your device.
So try keeping those bags whenever you go shopping just in case.
