We’ve all had that heart-dropping moment: a phone slips from our grasp and plunges into water. Swift action can sometimes save the day.
Immediate Actions:
- Switch Off and Remove: Turn off the phone immediately and, if possible, remove the battery. Extract the SIM card and memory card as well.
- Drain Excess Water: Gently shake the device to rid it of surplus water.
- Dry with a Cloth: Use a soft cloth to dab and absorb any visible moisture.
- Avoid Heat: Refrain from using a hairdryer or placing the phone on a radiator; it could cause further damage.
- Silica Gel or Uncooked Rice: Place the phone in a bag with silica gel packets or uncooked rice for 24-48 hours. These can absorb the moisture effectively.
Remember, even if your phone seems fine after the incident, moisture might still be inside. Avoid switching it on immediately after the drying process.
