How To Save / Reviving Your Wet Cell Phone?

The rainy season is arrived. Sometimes we still have to communicate by mobile phone even in the pouring rain or drizzle. We could already be in a safe place, but the phone suddenly "jump" fell from the pocket or purse to a puddle of water or sink. Worse yet, the phone is dive into the mud. Well, how to handle it?

If a disaster like that happens, do not panic. What should be remembered, do not try to turn on the phone (if directly turned off after exposed to water or mud). Here are some tips to overcome it.

Clean it
Your cell phone fell into the mud? Maybe add a splash of water will be feels horrible, but absurdly wet, indeed it's what you should do.

Hold your phone vertically so that water flows easily, cover the holes on the phone like an audio jack, USB ports, speakers and microphone as best you could with your fingers, then flush with water until clean. Do not add soap although smelled a bad odor. This can be done later after dry.

Blow-dry
The faster you dry a wet cell phone, it will be better. First, do not turn on the phone or press any button when the phone is in wet conditions.

Open the phone casing and remove the battery. Wipe phones with a towel or cloth with fine fiber (microfiber). Tissue was allowed provided it's not to shreds and leave the dirt on the phone body.

If you have seen the dry, keep in mind there may be particles of water that enters the mobile electronics components. The fastest way is to open its body. But not everyone can or dare do it.

There are two other ways. The first, tap-tapping the phone with carefully into the palm of your hand until the water comes out. Repeat until there is absolutely no water spots that appear on all the existing holes, and repeat if necessary. Secondly, use a hair dryer or hair dryer from different angles.

Send it to the Expert
If the steps above fail to revive your phone, then the only way is to take it to a service center. Given these include user error, the vendors usually do not bear the cost of repair and replacement of components. That is, you have to pay even if the phone is under warranty.

The best way to avoid this problem is to use a headset so that your phone can be stored safely in your purse or pocket.
