How to dry a wet phone. =>Instructions Things You'll Need paper towels or refrigerator or TV or vent or car dashboard or plastic container filled with dry rice or cat litter or compressed air in a can or a hairdryer.
Step 1: Step One Obviously the first step is to remove the phone from whatever liquid it was immersed in. ¤
Next Remove the battery as soon as possible. I can’t overstate how important this step is.
The phone is an electronic device and electricity and water do not mix. Leaving the battery in will cause short circuits and damage the phone. If your phone has a SIM card remove that too. Wipe off any excess water with a towel paper or otherwise. Do not heat the battery under any circumstances; they can explode!
Step 2: Try putting the phone in the refrigerator. This may sound strange because most of us associate heat with the drying process. Actually the refrigerator cools things by drawing moisture out of things. Do not put the phone in the freezer as this can damage the LCD (Liquid crystal display) After 30 minutes or so, take it out for about 10 minutes, and repeat until the phone is dry.
Step 3: One of the simplest methods is to place the phone on top of a TV, or vent from a cable box or a device which emits a low heat. This can take up to 3 days but it’s better than having to shell out the bucks for a newphone. Step Four If your accident happens outdoors miles away from home the simplest way to dry a phone is to place the phone on the dashboard of your car.
The car should be parked in a place that gets plenty of sun. After about 2 hours check to see if the screen is fogged. If its still foggy put it back on the dash, if not try putting in the battery and boot up the phone.
