Your cell phone can be your most important asset and being without it can spell doom for your business or networking.There are several reasons why your cell phone may not work,but sometimes the most common problem could just be a few drops of water that got inside. No matter how careful you are with your cell phone,chances are that it could even become wet inside simply due to the sweat of your palms. Maybe you took a call when you were in the shower.Or maybe at the swimming pool.Ever wondered what to do when your cell phone collects water inside? Perhaps you got wet in the rain? Or your cellphone slid out of your pocket and fell into water as you got ready to undress for a bath? Whatever be the reason for your cell phone getting wet,do not panic. Help is at hand. Don't throw away your wet cell phone.You can repair it. When you are aware of the cell phone and its basic parts,you can dismantle it and dry it out to get it working again.

3. Remove the battery of your cell phone to shut it down immediately.Then place it aside on a paper towel and let it dry.

5. Remove the casing to expose the interior and leave it out to dry.
