water damage cellphone

fixing wet or water damage cellphones

forget about the numerous tricks on how to save your water damage cell phone or mobile phone
this is the most effective and efficient way of doing it.

1. First, EXPECT that automatically, the cellphone will SHUTDOWN after water gets into your phone, if it didnt turn off then your lucky that it is still working.

2. DONT TURN IT ON (to avoid further damage from short circuit)...i say again DONT TURN IT ON cuz your just wasting your effort time and money.....

3. using any absorbent material available (CLOTHES or TOWEL) DRY it GENTLY (dont put too much force that may cause more water to get into it).

4. DISASSEMBLE it up to what you can....basically just seperate the CASING, BATTERY, SIM, PHONE ... (you dont have to unscrew everything).

5. LET it DRY by wind...you can USE FAN or BLOWER....( i dont advise that you use heat..i suggest it to be warmed...but wind and patience is better)

The only reason that i can think why others are suggesting the application of heat is so that the water will evaporate... lets say it evaporated...where will it go...hot air moves upward...what if the opening in your cellphone is underneath....theres no way that moisture can get out unless theres a moving air...so heat alone is not effective....it is also risky because you dont know what is the critical temperature of the cellphone...it is just the same as your personal computer it doesnt like heat.....they are both electronics....

I dont also advised that you put inside the fridge...you might miscalculate the time and temperature.....water doesnt only freeze at 0 degrees...depending on the impurities present on the water it may freeze faster or slower...just for example sea water freezes quicker than a normal water because of impurities which is salt...

I only suggest that you use warm moving air or wind in drying your cellphone

6. if the DISPLAY is NOT FOGGY...its good meaning the water didnt get into it if its FOGGY then you have to wait more...(sometimes it takes about 4 to 72 hours before your phone gets dry depending on your phone, wind, temperature, humidity, etc.)

7. if you think its DRY ENOUGH....then ASSEMBLE everything and try if it works.if it didnt try it tomorrow...try different batteries (since most of the time battery suffers from short circuit).... try it until you lose your patience....

im not actually sure if cellphones got fuses or circuit breakers to avoid short circuit but i assume it has or i wont be able to revive my phone.

if it didnt work give it to a cellphone repair it they fixed it at low cost.....it means the damage was only in the connection....if its high cost..buy a new one....


.... it is worth trying and you dont have the choice cuz WARRANTY DONT COVER IT anyway...

i dont guarantee you that this will work but based on my EXPERIENCE STATISTICS it did 100%

I accidentally drop my cellphone in a bucket of dirty water while cleaning the ceiling.....
well after grabbing it...it shut down...i wipe it with my clothes.....and I WAS STUPID TO TURN IT ON...but thats instinct because you wanted to know if it still working...(thats the reason why i repeated it in the procedure to remind)....it turned on but it shut down again..thats the time i thought of short circuit....i was hoping that at least the phone had a circuit breaker capability to reduce the damage...well I DID THE PROCEDURE and it works...

LAST WEEK we did some sailing, canoeng and rowing at the lake....because of strong wind....we tip over.....24 of us were stupid who brought phones and digital cameras alone (w/o protective casing)......well by doing that PROCEDURE i save all the cell phones but not the digital cameras....i dont have the time to bother but maybe if you can disassemble the camera it may work but be careful of static electricity...

so in 25/25 cases... this procedure works.....its fast and effective.

if it didnt try changing the battery....

by the way in case it worked or it didnt...please send me a comment so that i can keep on track with the stats.....cheers
