Many of you get your mobile phone wet by one way or another. You worry as you mistakenly drop your mobile phone in water. It can also get wet if you are out in a heavy rain. However, there is no need to panic. It is possible to save your wet mobile phone by quickly repairing it and taking action. In order to save your mobile phone from water damage, you can consider these easy and simple solutions:
Act rapidly
The first thing you have to do in order to save your wet mobile phone is to act rapidly. Quickly remove all the detachable parts as well as covers possible such as the back cover, battery, the SIM card, memory card etc. Next, take a piece of cloth or a tissue paper to wipe the excess water you are able to notice within the mobile phone. Make sure that you dry it completely. If you don’ t do this, the water inside the mobile phone will begin to evaporate and gather in places which will be difficult to reach.
This will save your wet mobile phone and it will start working if it was under water for just a little while.
Soak in Rice method
A very popular and effective method of drying up your drenched mobile / gadget is to soak it in RICE. Of course as mentioned above, remove the battery first. So a bowl of dry rice grains would help you recover your wet mobile. It will dry all the moisture.
Using a Hairdryer
Next to way is take a hairdryer and begin drying the mobile phone while giving more consideration to the place where the battery is located. The battery housing usually consists of tiny holes to let in air (so giving more space for water) inside the mobile phone.
Make sure that you are not holding the hairdryer very near to the mobile phone. Keeping it too close to the mobile phone may harm the electrical mechanism of the mobile phone. Keep on drying the mobile phone from a safe distance for about twenty to thirty minutes.
If solution number 1 and solution number 2 don’t work, try solution number 3.
Drying for a long time
Take off the covers as well as battery from the mobile phone. Put the phone in a dry as well as warm place to let the water inside the phone evaporate gradually from the little holes in the mobile phone.
Remember: Never ever shake your mobile when it is wet.
Additional tips
- You can also use high velocity fan in case you don’t have hair dryer ready.
- Disassemble the phone is all possible ways, take out front if allowed.
- Try to point the back of the phone up with the screen facing down. This would let the moisture to soak easier and faster.
- Don’t panic and follow the steps carefully!

Hey guys, Thank you very much… I tried this technique and it works very well… The key is to make sure the phone is OFF right away and not turned on for a while. I left my phone in the rice for 5 days… then it worked like a charm.
Thanks again.
Actually i paid a lot for my phone which was dropped in water.
That is why this is really a nice article..

This does in fact work! My friend got his wet twice and fixed it by letting it sit in rice.
You have numerous nice points here.
I was in heavy rain and my phone is really broken, there’s condensation inthe screen and I don’t have rice.
if you dropped a phone in water that had stuff in it eg. ( the coloured stuff you put in toilets ,soap stuff like that) would it make a difference as it could dry and get hard
