Getting Water Out of Your Phone: A Guide

So, you've dropped your phone in water. Don't panic! Quick action is key. Here's a breakdown of what to do:

  1. Act Fast: The sooner you react, the better the chances of saving your phone. Turn it off immediately to prevent short%20circuiting. If you're unsure if it's off, hold the power button down until it shuts down.

  2. Remove Everything: Get rid of everything that's removable. This includes the SIM%20card, memory%20card, case, and any other accessories. Open any ports that can be opened.

  3. Dry the Exterior: Use a clean, soft cloth or paper towel to thoroughly dry the outside of your phone. Pay special attention to the charging port, headphone jack, speaker grilles, and any other openings.

  4. Evacuate the Water: Gently shake the phone to try and dislodge any water trapped inside. You can also use a vacuum%20cleaner on a low setting to suction water out of ports. Important: Do not use a hairdryer! The heat can damage internal components.

  5. Desiccant Time: Submerge your phone in a desiccant. This is the most crucial step. The best options are:

    • Uncooked%20Rice: While not the most effective, it's readily available. Bury your phone completely in a container of uncooked rice.
    • Silica%20Gel%20Packets: These are far more effective than rice. Save those packets that come with new shoes and electronics.
    • Commercial Drying Kits: These kits contain highly effective desiccants specifically designed for electronics.
  6. Wait Patiently: Leave your phone in the desiccant for at least 24-72 hours. The longer, the better.

  7. Power On and Test: After the waiting period, remove your phone from the desiccant and try to power it on. If it doesn't turn on, try charging it for a while before attempting to power it on again.

  8. Check Functionality: Test all phone functions: screen, speakers, microphone, camera, charging, etc. If anything isn't working correctly, you may need professional phone%20repair.

Important Considerations:

  • Avoid turning the phone on too soon: This can cause further damage.
  • Do not use heat: Hairdryers, ovens, or direct sunlight can damage your phone.
  • Saltwater is worse than freshwater: Saltwater is corrosive. If your phone was submerged in saltwater, rinse it gently with freshwater before proceeding with the steps above.
  • Professional help: If you're not comfortable disassembling your phone or if it's still not working after drying, take it to a professional repair service.
