Accidentally dropping your phone in water can be a nightmare, but acting quickly can make all the difference. Here’s a step-by-step guide to save your device:
- Turn It Off Immediately: Power down your phone to prevent electrical damage. Do not attempt to turn it on to check if it’s working.
- Remove Accessories: Take out any cases, SIM cards, or SD cards to expose the phone to air and allow for better drying.
- Dry the Exterior: Use a lint-free cloth to gently pat the phone dry. Avoid shaking the phone, as this can push water further inside.
- Use Absorbent Materials: Place your phone in a bag of silica gel packets to draw out moisture. Leave it for at least 12-24 hours.
- Avoid Heat Sources: Do not use a hairdryer or place your phone in the oven, as excessive heat can damage internal components.
