How to save a wet mobile phone - and what not to do
By Mat Greenfield on 16 August 2012

Dropped your handset in the bath? Fumbled your phone and plopped it in the loo? Don't panic -- just follow these steps and you'll have a good chance of breathing life back into your drowned smart phone. And check out the 'What not to do' section for some useful mythbusting.


File Attachment:

"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther

The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it. ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is. ~Winston Churchill

My son dropped his Iphone in the toilet. Ugghh. Then he let it sit in rice for a couple of days. Walla, it works again. There were some lines in the screen (I believe they were caused by the LCD not having all the pixels available). After a couple of more days, the lines disappeared. Rice is a great fix.

I think it is also aided by the low humidity level in Colorado. That works in our favor too.
