How does a phone react from water damage?

Answer

Heres HowbrThe first thing to do is to remove your cell phone from the water as quickly as possible. Dont even think a second. Take it out! brAs quickly as possible, remove the battery. If there is no electrical current while water resides inside your cell phone, it has a much better chance of surviving. brShake the water out of your cell phone. Hold it tight, then shake it out with large downwards arm movements, as if you were loosing your temper and throwing it away. If drops of water land on the floor, it is a good indication that the technique was successful. brRemove the excess water. Sacrifice many sheets of absorbing paper and press them against your cell phone. Do it again and again with dry paper. brIf there is water inside the display, do not hesitate to press gently on it. It may succeed in forcing more water out of it. Then absorb it again with absorbing paper. brRepeat step then steps and many times. Shaking your cell phone will bring more water to the surface, which you can then absorb with paper. brLet both the cell phone and battery dry. Place them near a sunny window, near a home dehumidifier or on top of the vent of your TV set. But NEVER put it near a source of heat such as the oven or heaters. The battery may explode and your cell phone may not resist the extra heat. brLet it dry for at least hours some even suggest days. If water still comes out of it when shaking it, or if the display is foggy, wait another hours.brTipsbrIf your cell phone fell in salt water, rinse it completely with fresh water before proceeding to the steps mentioned here. The salt can further damage your cell phone and increase the risk of corrosion. brNever place the battery near a source of heat. It may explode!
