Fixing Your Mobile Phone Water Damage

Drop your mobile phone in the washing machine? If that's so, here's what you need to do without delay to help save your mobile phone.

1. SHUT OFF THE MOBILE PHONE RIGHT AWAY!
2. DO NOT TURN ON THE PHONE until finishing all of the steps. Flipping on the mobile phone when there is water inside may cause the phone to short circuit.
3. Take off your mobile phone cover and then remove the SimCard.
4. Shake out any additional water.
5. Use a blow dryer on the lowest heat for 15 minutes and try to heat up the phone lightly so that any existing water can easily escape from the phone. Use low heat!
6. Stick the mobile phone in a bag of uncooked rice and be certain that it is completely covered. Switch the rice each day. The uncooked rice will certainly soak up moisture and helps take out any additional water within the mobile phone. Leave the mobile phone in the rice for 48-72 hours for ideal results.
7. Take your mobile phone out of the rice and confirm if it works. If it doesn't work or if you feel excess water in the mobile phone, repeat steps 4, 5, and 6. Keep the mobile phone inside of the rice for another 4-5 days and check again redoing the process until the mobile phone works correctly.
8. This process works best if your mobile phone was in water under 30 minutes.
