How to Save your phone from water hazards

Save your wet phone

How to save a wet phone

Everyone's heart skips a beat when they drop their smartphone on the ground. If you don't have a good case, there's a chance it won't survive.  However, It's even worse if you drop it in the water. Unless you have a waterproof case, your smartphone is likely to die.
Or is it? 
You might be able to salvage it with a few steps.
  • First, and most important, DON'T turn it on. If you turn it on with water inside, you'll fry the internal circuits.
  •   Wipe it down with a dry microfiber cloth. If the gadget is dirty, you can clean it with rubbing alcohol. Rubbing alcohol evaporates quickly, so the threat of a lingering drop penetrating your phone does not exist.
  • If the phone has a removable battery, take it out. 
  • Then fill a container or bag with uncooked rice and put the smartphone in the container overnight. The rice will help pull the moisture out of the gadget.
  • Under no circumstances put the phone in the oven or microwave!
  • The next day, put the phone back together and turn it on. If it starts up, congratulations! If not, then I'm sorry to give you the bad news.........your phone has passed on to Galaxy Heaven.  Start shopping.
