6 Steps to Revive an Android phone that Fell inside Water

Have your phone ever fallen inside water? And you think it’s damaged? Don’t worry, there’s a new way to revive it and bring it back to working conditions.

What to do if your phone drops in Water

Mistakes happen on a daily basis. From forgetting a document at
home to sending a text message to a wrong number and your
priced phone dropping in water. Whoops! This may be a costly
mistake that may probably damage your phone. In other
unforeseen circumstances, there may be a downpour in Port
Harcourt and you may be drenched, thus, affecting your phone.
Not to worry, I will share some tips on what to do if your phone is
drenched in water. As we all know water is no friend with
electronic devices.



How to Revive an Android phone that Fell inside Water




1. Take your phone out of water/pocket

Don’t lament about your phone that just drank water. What you
should do is to take it out of water or your pocket. Importantly,
don’t attempt to switch it on. This is to stop water from flowing
into the sensitive part of your phone.



2. Take out the removable parts

Take out the battery, sim card(s), the casing and other
removable parts. There is no need to remove any screw. Limit
yourself to only the detachable parts. Ensure that you take
caution not to allow water into the phone.



3. Don’t Blow it

This may completely condemn the phone. Don’t use a blow dryer
or blow air using your mouth into the phone. This would no doubt
cause adverse harm to your smartphone by scattering the water droplets inside.



4.Dry the phone

This is a very critical stage that would determine if you would
take your phone to a repairer or not. Dry your phone in the sun.
This is not saying that you should place it directly. Severe sun
rays may affect the Liquid Crystal Display Screen. It is, however,
worthy of note that many wet phones/devices would properly
function after drying.



5. Attempt to power it on

Your phone would be dried within an hour or even less. Assemble
the different parts you detach. Then try to power on your phone.
If it powers on, attempt to perform the normal activities like
making calls, surfing the internet, sending text messages and
other actions.



6. If your phone does not power on…

If your phone does not power on. Then you have to check if there
is still warranty on the phone. Most brand new devices usually
come with a one year warranty. That is why it is logical to
purchase new phones. This is another reason you should be very
conscious not to allow water get into the phone panel. This may
actually nullify your warranty. This may result in you paying more
to repair your phone or patronizing quacks.
