Dropped your phone in water? Things to do......

 

It has happened to the best of us: accidentally dropping a smartphone in water and then frantically trying anything and everything to recover it. But worry not, help is here. We tell you how best you can save your smartphone if it has taken a dip in water.

1. Switch it off
   

   Since chances are that your phone was powered on when you dropped it in water, it is advisable to switch it off immediately after taking it out. Switching the phone off will prevent any short circuits from damaging the internals of the phone.

    

   2. Remove everything
   

   After switching off the phone, start removing everything possible from the phone. Remove the battery, sim cards, memory cards as well as any accessory (stylus, case, cover, skin).
   You can easily wipe these off with a dry cloth so that no water remains on these items.

    

    3. Shake it off

   Gently shake the phone to get rid of any water present in the headphone jack, charging port or under the physical buttons.
   After this, wipe the phone with a dry cloth, toilet paper or paper napkins thoroughly to remove any water present on the exterior.

    

   4. Bury it in rice
   

   This is one of the most commonly used and known techniques. Get an airtight container or a ziplock bag and fill it with uncooked rice. Place your phone inside the rice, shut the ziplock bag/container tight and keep it in a dry place.
   You can also try using oatmeal or silica gel packs.

    

   5. Wait it out
   

   Leave the phone in the rice for at least 24 to 48 hours. Ideally, do not even try to take the phone out to check if it has started working or not. If there wasn't too much water damage, your phone should start working.

    

   6. If it still doesn't work
   

   Please keep in mind that there is no guarantee that your phone will survive a dunking in water. There is only a 50% chance of your phone working again.
   
   In case the phone does not work even after trying out the rice method, take it to an authorized service centre. They will be able to dismantle your phone and assess the damage better. Remember that water damage is not covered in the standard warranty of your smartphone.

    

   7. Be prepared
   

   There are a couple of ways of preventing your phone from getting damaged by water in the first place.
   If you are travelling in the rainy season or going to a beach/swimming pool, then you can get a waterproof carry pouch. They are available for as little as Rs 150 from e-commerce websites. These pouches have a transparent window which allow you to see incoming notifications.
