A Guide for Saving your Phone from Water Damage: What to do and What Not to do!

Dropping your phone in water can be a frustrating and stressful experience. It's important to act quickly and take the right steps to try and save your phone, but it's also important to know what not to do. Here are some tips on what to do and not to do if you drop your phone in water:

DO:

  • Act fast: The longer your phone is submerged in water, the greater the chance of permanent damage.
  • Remove the phone from the water as soon as possible and turn it off immediately.
  • Take out the battery, SIM card and any other detachable parts if possible.
  • Dry the phone with a clean, dry cloth or towel, being careful not to cause any further damage.
  • Dry the phone completely and wait for at least 24 hours before turning it on again.
  • If you can, put it in a bag of rice, silica gel pack or any desiccant to absorb the moisture.
  • Consider taking it to a professional repair shop or contact the manufacturer.

DON'T:

  • Don't turn the phone on or charge it if it's still wet.
  • Don't use a hair dryer, oven, or microwave to dry the phone, as these methods can cause further damage.
  • Don't shake or blow into the phone to remove water, as this can push water further into the phone's components.
  • Don't press any buttons or keys while the phone is still wet, as this can short-circuit the phone.
  • Don't put the phone in direct sunlight or near a heat source to dry it, as this can damage the battery or other components.

It's always a good idea to have a water-resistant phone case or insurance for the phone in case of an accident. If you do drop your phone in water, it's important to act fast and follow the steps outlined above to try and save it. However, even if you do everything right, there's still a chance that your phone may be permanently damaged. If you can't repair the phone, you might consider getting a new one, it's always better to be safe than sorry.

It's important to keep in mind that these tips are not guaranteed to work and that there's a chance that your phone may not be repairable or recoverable. But these steps will give you the best chance of saving your phone and getting it back to working order.
