How To Recover a Wet Mobile Phone

It's bound to happen sooner or later, if not, just remember this, could be flippin important at somepoint.

1. DON'T PRESS THE POWER ON BUTTON! REMOVE THE BATTERY!When your hands are wet, would you touch the mains socket and press the ON switch? Same applies to the wet phone. Once you turn on the power to the wet phone, the electric current from the battery will "kill" the electronics of the phone.

2. Remove the SIM card and the memory card. Both your SIM card and Memory cards have electronic circuits too; that is why it is advisable to remove them.

3. Dry the memory card and SIM card with a tissue

4. Dry the exterior of the phone.

5. Bring the wet phone to the Service Center IMMEDIATELY! The service center will disassemble the phone and clean it for you.

6. Note that liquid-damaged phones are out of warranty. Some manufacturers will do a last time repair for you free-of-charge, but warranty is void. If you had followed my instructions as mentioned above right after the mobilel phone gets wet, the chances of reviving your phone are high. However, there is no guarantee that the phone will be back to full working conditions again.

7. Buying a new phone will get you a full 1 year warranty and a fully working phone. You might also be able to buy a mobile phone without a new plan, though that will be more expensive. If you find that your phone works abnormally after the repair, it means that the phone has already been "injured" from the liquid damaged. Consider buying another new phone because it will be too costly to get the phone repaired.

8. Last but not least, prevention is always better than cure. Here are some tips to prevent your phone from getting wet:
* Don't use your phone in the rain.
* Do not place your phone near any liquids/ just dont be dumb
* Never put your phone in your breast pocket; bending from the waist will cause the phone to drop (who knows where? maybe in the toilet bowl).
* If it's raining, shelter your phone from the rain

Peace

Thank you

I have had a few mobile phones get wet and have saved every one by just being patient and not trying to turn it on too soon.

This is very good info and deserves a nom

With any electrical equipment the best thing to do is to let it dry out naturaly and properly.

I have had many things get wet/soaked and saved them because i left them to dry.

another way is you can take the battery/sim card our and put all parts in a bowl of dry rice and leave it in for a couple of days. the rice draws out all of the moisture in ur phone.
