Cell phones were made to use in dry environments. Any effort to use it in damp weather or near water is risky. If you incidentally got your telephone wet, you'll need to act swiftly. Many strategies are available for attempting to dry it out and revive it, but there a couple of things that you must always do first with no regard for which technique you select.

This strategies has worked for me during the past, but I can't guarantee it'll work for you. The most significant of these is to right away get the telephone out of the water and remove the battery. This may disconnect the electric power source, therefore stopping any farther possibility of short circuit damage and augmenting your possibilities of a successful cell telephone resurrection. If you've a SIM card, this may be removed also - you could be ready to save your info. The very next step is to get as much water as you can out of the telephone and dry off all obvious liquid with a fabric or paper towel. If your cell telephone has any other simply removable parts besides the sim card, these can be dried separately.

Then your main task is to be certain the interior components of your telephone are completely dry so that you don't lead to a short circuit when you reconnect the telephone's power supply. This is the part which will need the most patience and thinking, as there are many strategies that folk have used to successfully dry out their cell phones. Here are some that I have come across in my research :

One. Wait it out. Yes, it's uninteresting and will take a bit, but this is maybe the safest technique overall. Just let the telephone sit out in a dry place for no less than 3 days while the water evaporates. A modification on this that might speed up the drying process a little is to leave the telephone on top of a low heat source like a TV or wire box.

Two. Put the telephone in a bowl of dry rice. Many individuals have had success with this one, and it is sensible because raw rice can absorb a large amount of water. For most cell telephone models, you will not have to fret about the rice grains getting within the telephone.
