According to him, he said that it should push all the water out of the circuitboard and evaporates it faster. And an added bonus is that (supposedly) it ALSO prevents the water mark pads from changing color? (there are some sort of markers or pads in the phone that, if it ever comes in contact with water, they change color and sprint will no longer warranty or service your phone) So its supposed to be an all around perfect fix. SUPPOSEDLY!
Remember please, I am just regurgitating information, this is all VERY unconfirmed by me. I would search more into it and attempt at your own risk :)
Btw, it's also supposed to work for all electronics. So not to just limit yourself to cell phones, anything that comes into contact with those stalking pools of water that are always waiting around corners, dark allys, your hair after a shower, to destroy your precious pricy electronics! DRAT! ;)~

love this guy... so adorable ;)~
if you soak your phone in alcohol the litmus paper that changes color are going to change also since liquid is liquid. and some alcohol ok but soaking it is not going to work and you wouldn't want to freeze the device with traces of water since that is going to ruin it. also if you look through the manual it will tell you not tot expose the phone to freezing conditions or tems over 110 F like your car on a sunny day... i would never recommend this and would use at your own discretion knowing that your phonee isnt going to work at all hwen your done..... but hell you have parts than right?
