Cell phones are used by a large number of people now days. Whether a cell phone is costly or cheap, it is very important for its owner. Cell phones have become an important part of the life of numerous people. However, they are sensitive when it comes to wear and tear. A cell phone may get damaged in different conditions. Falling in to water and getting wet is one of the most common causes of cell phones getting damaged. Here are a few tips on how to save a wet cell phone or a Wet iPhone.
First, if your cell phone ever falls in to the water then take it out as quickly as possible. If you do not take out your cell phone from water quickly then water will enter inside it and your cell phone may get severely damaged from inside. If you cannot pull out your mobile phone from water quickly then it is best to separate the battery and the cell phone.
Second, you should not try to open small screws of your mobile for checking whether there is water inside it or not. You do not need to panic if you have taken out your mobile phone from the water in a very short period of time.
Third, never forget to disconnect your battery from the cell phone after it is taken out from the water. Most of the people do not know that the most common cause of cell phone damage is not separating it from its battery even after it gets wet. The inside parts of a cell phone may resist water but they will get damaged if the cell phone is getting power from the battery. Therefore, it is a crucial step to separate the battery from cell phone in case it falls in to water. Last but not the least; dry your cell phone as quickly as possible after taking it out from the water. It is a very obvious step to save a cell phone after it falls in to the water. You can use any cloth for drying your phone.
After all those steps – dump it in rice as well for 24-48 hours.
If you drop your iPhone, it is definitely a nightmare. Don’t know how useful these tips are but I think nobody wants to be in that situation to try… lol
That happened to me once, trying drying it in sunlight, the phone never came back to life.. lol..
One of the other tips that once helped me save my phone (not an iPhone though), was the draining of the water by putting the phone in the rice and wrapping it with a blotting paper. The circuit might sometimes get damaged when you suddenly expose the phone’s internal parts to the sunlight, so it’s good if you try the tips that help in normal light, and not the natural sunlight.
We have seen there are phones by Samsung with water resistant, don’t know how exactly they are called so. If your cell phone falls inside water then are 10 % chances that your cell phone will work properly.
