Here are the steps to take when your phone falls into water to minimize damage:
Quickly remove the phone from the water: The longer it stays submerged, the higher the risk of damage.
Turn off the phone immediately:
1. Turn it off immediately to prevent short circuits.
2. Remove accessories like the case, SIM card, and SD card.
3. Dry the exterior with a soft cloth or paper towel.
4. Do not charge it or press any buttons.
5. Leave it in a dry place (you can use silica gel packets, but avoid using rice as it can leave dust inside).
6. Wait at least 24-48 hours before turning it back on.
7. Turning it on while wet can cause permanent damage to the internal circuits.
Disassemble:
Removable parts: If possible, remove the battery, SIM card, and memory card to dry them separately.
Wipe the exterior dry:
Use a soft cloth to absorb water on the phone’s surface.
Absorb internal moisture: Place the phone in a sealed bag with silica gel packets or dry rice for 48 hours to absorb moisture.
Avoid using high heat:
Do not use a hairdryer or expose the phone to direct sunlight, as excessive heat may damage internal components.
Check before turning it on: After ensuring the phone is completely dry, reassemble the parts and power it on.
If the phone does not function properly, take it to an authorized service center or a reliable repair shop for professional assistance.
Note that these steps are for reference only and do not guarantee full recovery of the phone’s functionality.
