5 Tips on How to Save a Drowning Android Phone

There are some people who find it convenient to have their Android phone with them most of the time, which is why it is not uncommon for them to accidentally drop it - what is unfortunate is if they drop it in a puddle of water, swimming pool, or simply have it wet. Getting your mobile phones wet could be really quite a hassle, and you might end up buying a new one if you don't get to fix it.

What most people do not know is that there are ways to salvage an Android phone that accidentally got wet. Here are some easy tips:

First, immediately take it out of the water and turn it off. The longer it remains in the water, the more liquid will get inside the phone which will make it more difficult to dry. Leave it out to dry under the sun. The next thing you need to do is to remove the protective casing, the battery, SIM card and the Micro SD card from the slots and use a dry cloth to wipe them and set them aside. Use an absorbent cloth and wipe the Android phone dry, you may also use a blow dryer to dry the parts and small spaces that are difficult to take a look at.

Third, Leave it for a few hours before assembling it back together except for the battery. Do not turn it on; bury it in a container with uncooked rice. Rice can help absorb the liquid from your Android phone, and is actually one of the most common ways in drying wet Android phones and tablets. Then, Let it stay there to dry for a day or two.  Make sure not to switch it on.

Lastly, after two days, take it out from the container and insert the battery in. If the phone does not turn on, try charging it. If it doesn't charge, try checking the battery, because it could be the battery that's damaged. Try using another battery or buying a new one. If it still does not turn on, consider letting a professional check it.

There are mobile phones with parts that are not detachable; it is advisable to let a trained professional check phone models like that should a problem like this arise.
