First Aid Tips For Water Damaged [removable Battery Devices] by phonedaddy: 9:22am On May 23, 2019
Today topic is about how to help revive your phone if dropped in water...

Enjoy

When your cell phone falls in the water, you don't necessarily need to start shopping for a replacement right away. If you quickly dry out the phone and its battery, the device may survive the experience. If you do not dry the battery properly, however, water can damage and corrode its sensitive components.

1.Remove the battery from the cell phone as soon as possible

If it's not removable visit a professional to get it dried

2.Remove your phone's battery cover and take out the battery.

3.Bury the phone in a ziplock bag full of uncooked rice. Rice is great for absorbing liquid and this is actually a common method for drying smartphones and tablets.

4.Let your phone dry for a day or two. Do not be tempted to switch it on to see if it still works. Put your SIM card in an old phone,

After a couple of days, you can remove the phone from the rice, insert the battery and switch it on.

5.If your phone doesn't turn on, try charging it. If that doesn't work, the battery may be damaged. You could try a replacement battery, or consider taking your smartphone to a repair shop to be checked by a professional

6.If your smartphone has turned on and it is running as it should, you should still keep a close eye on it for the next few days, to see if you notice anything out of the ordinary. Play some music to check the speakers and ensure the touch screen still responds as it should

Tip
Put a wet cell phone in a bowl of uncooked rice to dry it out thoroughly. Rice will absorb the moisture.
Warning !
Never dry your phone with a heat source, such as an oven, hairdryer or microwave.

And visit a professional engineer when you noticed any changes in the behaviour of the phone
