What To Do When Phone Gets Wet

Now this should come as a reflex, like dodging a bullet. You shouldn’t have to wait and think about what to do if you see your cell phone under water. Pull it out as soon as possible. In case caught in rain, try to go under a shed or wrap it in a plastic bag, if you have any by chance.
Okay, time for another reflex because sometimes the enemy may fire two bullets. Try removing the battery in the blink of an eye. Doing so will prevent the battery from any further damage from water. Keep it aside and allow it to dry naturally.
Now if you can master the third reflex in a row, we’ll call you Neo (Matrix). Quick, take the sim card out of the cell phone. Keep it safely aside and allow it to dry naturally.
Using tissue papers, soak as much water as possible out of the surface of your cell phone. A dry towel can also be used as a substitute for tissue papers, but as tissue papers are thinner, they work a little better than towels.
You’ll need a plastic bag and a few silica packs that you get with the electronic goods you purchase. Put the cell phone along with silica packs in the plastic bag and leave it like that for a day or two. The silica bags will absorb the moisture out of cell phone.
Make use of a vacuum cleaner if you have one. With the vacuum hose 4-5 inches away from the cell phone, turn it on. This will certainly suck the big droplets of water out of cell phone. Don’t shove the hose into your cell phone as there’s no way of fixing your cell phone if it gets damaged by a vacuum cleaner.
Leave the cell phone in a dry place and let nature do the rest. Don’t fiddle with it in between, trying to see if it’s working or not. Let it dry itself for a day or two.
Now, insert the battery and the sim into your cell phone and turn it on. If it works, you owe us a treat. If it doesn’t, take it to the authorized dealer of give yourself a treat by buying a new cell phone.
Do your cell phone a favor and follow these simple steps to fix a wet cell phone. It probably has more life left in it; lest you play a bad doctor’s role.
