SSPDaly has prepared unique life hacks on how to save a phone that accidentally got wet. We'll take a look at the amazing ways to help save a damaged gadget.
Raw rice
Simply remove the battery from your phone, if possible, and then immerse it in a bowl filled with raw rice. The cereal will absorb moisture, speeding up the drying process and potentially preventing damage to the device. Leave your phone in the rice for 24 to 48 hours before trying to turn it back on.
Silica bags
These packets, which are commonly found in new shoes or electronic devices, can be repurposed to help dry a wet phone. Take a few silica gel packets and place them next to your wet gadget in an airtight container. The silica gel in the packets will absorb moisture, speeding up the drying process.
Vacuuming
First, turn off the phone, remove it from the water source, and dry it with a towel. Then put it in a vacuum bag, creating an airtight package to utilize the suction power and eliminate moisture. After a few hours, take the phone out of the bag and check for any water.
