My cell phone got wet..any tips?


Question


My cell phone got wet..any tips?
I went hiking today, and it slipped out of my hand into a calm river. I know stupid me, and if youre gonna point that out, at least have a good tip too.


Answer


Chances are that no water got to the circuitry. If I were in your shoes I would pull it apart as much as possible e.g. take off cover, remove battery, take out sim, etc etc and then check any potential entry points to the circuitry for moisture.brbrThere is also the possibility that the circuitry has been coated with an epoxy or resin to make it water resistant but you should check it out and make sure all moisture is gone just in case there is a point at which a short circuit could happen.brbrI think the bag of rice thing is a good idea
