Default Re: Dropped in warter

Well back on topic the obvious cure for water damaged phone is PREVENTION lol I lost many phones to water or various acts of stupidity so I wised up when im out workin on truck phone in its case in pocket cant get wet get lost or scratched.

Back on track most importantly do not hit any buttons on phone you dont want to bring phone out of sleep state as more chance of electrical flowing through a soggy circuit (BAD) remove battery asap

if you can go to electronics store and buy a cell phone maint kit itl have the ultra tiny screwdrivers to open your phone.

Seperate as much as you can in the case soak the electronics briefly in denatured alcohol or isopropyl 90% do not use 70% as it has hi water content. It will act as a dry gas and remove water.

Allow 2-3 days drying time (parked car in daytime on dash works great)

pray and hope it reboots. this method worked twice for my moto q and moto q9c (wish them phones were lil better os wise they were fun)

last option have TEP and pay 50 beans for new phone
