Dropped your phone in the toilet bowl? oopppsss...  or accidentally slip it on the pool? don't panic... just follow this easy steps to bring back the life of your smartphone.



1. retrieve your handset from the water right away. a prolonged plunge will  increase the risk of damage.

2. resist the urge to check if its still works or press any buttons, since putting pressure on the keys could shift liquid further into the device.

3. in all cases, the best way to do is immediately pull out the battery, thus minimizing power to the device that it may cause to short circuit.

4. if you own a handset with a non-replaceable battery like iPhone, then pulling the battery is not an option, you have to risk pressing the few buttons to check if its till on and swiftly turn it off if it is.

5. remove any peripherals and attachment on your phone, such as cover.

6.  extract the sim card or any sd cards if it carries, leaving ports or covers om your handset open to aid ventilation.

7. dry off everything with a towel. including the exterior of your handset.

8. even when everything is dry, it's very likely there's latent moisture within the device that you want to get out before turning it on. the most off reported fix for a soaked phone is to bury the handset in a bowl of dry rice. desiccant materials such as rice, because it has a property to absorbed moisture.

9. use silica gel packs if you don't have any of that material around but rice doing it well.


10. when you're confident it is dried out, put the battery and try switching it on.
