The lighthearted guide should really be read on the steps below:
There’s no way to recover a phone from physical destruction, but occasionally a quick-acting individual can save their phone from a water damage death.
The lighthearted guide should really be read on the steps below:
- Get the phone out of the water ASAP.
- Remove the SIM, external memory card, battery, and any the S-pen from the phone.
- Dry it off with a clean dry cloth or towel. DO NOT use paper towels as the bits can get stuck in the phone and prevent the phone from working! DO NOT use a hairdryer, as this may push water further into the phone.
- Leave the phone overnight somewhere warm and dry like next to a radiator, or put it in a bag of rice or wrap it in a towel to help absorb some of the excess moisture.
- Test the phone to see if you’ve successfully raised it from beyond the smartphone grave.
