Try these tricks to rescue your wet mobile phone
If you think the only way to repair your wet phone is to take it to the repair shop, think again!
Take out the battery: That’s the first thing you should do. If you are out in the rain, don’t switch off your cellphone, but shield it from the rain. Instead of keeping it in the pocket of your jeans, keep it in a safe corner of your bag. Once you reach a dry place make sure that you switch your cellphone off.
Take out the SIM card: Taking out the SIM card is important as it is a part of the circuit. Therefore it’s very important to keep it safe.
Dry it with a cloth: You have to make sure that all the moisture is out. To do so, take a dry piece of cloth and tap the phone dry. You could also place it in the open for a few days. But that will take time and could be inconvenient if you don’t have a spare phone.
The rice trick: Take a bowl of uncooked rice and leave your phone in it for a few hours and then keep it on a dry cloth. Rice is the most easily available desiccant and can be used.
Don’t use the hair dryer: You will end up damaging your phone if you use a hair dryer.
