How To Save A Wet Phone.....
Did your smartphone
got soaked in the rain ? Or did you dropped it in the toilet or sink or some
other type of liquid ?
Here is how to bring it back to life :
Switch It Off Quick :
Switch off the handset immediately. Then, quickly place it on some paper towels or soft cloth. Remove the battery, the sim, memory card and gently dry those. Essentially, remove all add-on accessories, including headphones that cover ports and slots to expose them to air.
Check Your Battery Sticker :
Handset warranties do not cover water damage. To find out if the phone is water damaged, check your battery and the battery receptacle. Manufacturers place tiny stickers that are usually white, but change to pink or red on contact with moisture inside the phones.

Wipe Your Phone Thoroughly :Wipe your device thoroughly with a soft cloth. If possible , use a small vacuum cleaner to draw the water out of the phone. Be careful not to hold the vacuum too close to the device. Do not use a hair dryer.
Keep The Phone Rice :
Place your handset in a dry plastic bag or an air-tight container with a desiccant such as silica gel (often found with new shoes and electronics). You can also purchase 5 grams sachets online and from electronic stores. Keep a stash handy this monsoon. Alternatively, bury the phone in a jar or bag of uncooked rice overnight. Rice draws out the moisture.
Blow Dry :
Air is obviously helpful, but don’t leave the gadget under the fan in an open room. Also, do not use a hair dryer on it. Hot or unpurified air isn't good for your phone. Instead, hold the wet device in front of the vent of your air conditioner for a few minutes.
Wait For 24 Hours :
Wait for at least 24 hours or longer. Check that your device ports, compartments and crevices are clean and look dry. Power up the device. If your phone does not boot, remove the battery and head to your nearest service center.
