How Do I Save My Wet Cellphone?

I Dropped It Yesterday In The Water And I Did All Things That The Internet Told Me I Even Did The Rice Thing And Nothing Works Its Not Turning On PLEASE HELP!!!!!!



its dead




Remove all pieces such as battery, sim card, memory card. leave the phone open and you can use a hair dryer to try and dry it out quickly. let it dry for about 24 hrs then replace the battery ONLY the battery and try to power on the phone and check functionality.If everything works your good replace sim and all that. If its broken then your probably out of luck, unless you have a protection plan for the phone you'll have to buy a new one because that isn't going to be covered by any type of manufacturer warranty.




Forget the WD-40, it will corrode plastic and other electronic components. Some people are just idiots, I'm surprised he did suggest Duct Tape. Try the take apart and put it in rice, but don't expect any miracles as it's probably fried. There isn't any coverage for water damage which leaves you with buying a new phone. Try Amazon.com for unlocked, reasonably priced phones with a good selection. Sorry to give you the bad news.




It sounds like your phone really died. Sometimes freak things like keeping it in your pocket until it dries works, but not usually. My friend's phone survived the wash, but I don't really know how. You should contact your provider or take it into the store, but a wet phone is hard to save. [especially if it's salt water]




best way is to remove the battery take the outer case off put it in a room with high temperature low relative humidity point a fan at it for a few hours then take a squirt of wd-40 and mix it 1:64 parts water in a spray bottle and mist the circuit boards with it and take a hair dryer to it on low heat until completely dry re assemble and you should be fine




You should take your sim card out.





And maybe test it on somebody's phone to see if your sim card still works.





Good luck
