How to Save Your Phone from Water Damage!

• If you've never had a water damaged phone, you're
  probably not familiar with the deep heartbreak of
  watching your Samsung Galaxy swimming in water.
  Consider yourself lucky, because trust me, it's
  not pleasant. Did you just get pushed into a pool
  with your phone in your pocket? Maybe it slipped
  from in between your shoulder and your head,
  right into the toilet. Regardless of how the
  phone was exposed to water, if you follow these
  steps there is still hope for you to save your
  phone from water damage.
• So How do You Save Your Phone from Water Damage?

• 1. GET IT OUT OF THE WATER FAST!
•  
• The longer your phone sits in the water, the
  more liquid is filtered throughout your phone,
  making it harder to be saved. Hopefully the water
  you've dropped it in is clean, otherwise, a
  sacrifice needs to be made.

• 2. Shut It Off
•  
• You don't want your phone to short circuit while
  water is permeating into the phone. Turning it
  off can save it from being destroyed.

• 3. Take Apart as Much of the Phone As Possible
•  
• If you can, remove the battery right away.
  Although iPhone's aren't very easy to take
  apart, you can remove the battery from Android
  phones.

• 4. Remove Sim Card
•  
• Your SIM card carries important data that is
  convenient to keep - like contacts, text
  messages, and call history. If you can fish out
  the SIM card, you can save yourself the annoying
  task of collecting numbers again.

• 5. Wipe It Down
•  
• Take a soft towel and dry out as much water as
  you can, watching out for any orifice on the
  phone. Don't shake your phone as this will just
  spread the water deeper throughout your phone,
  making it more likely that you won't be able to
  save your phone from water damage.

• 6. Vacuum Out Remaining Water
•  
• Contrary to what most people say, using a blow
  dryer does not dry the phone but actually pushes
  the liquid further into the phone. Instead, use a
  vacuum cleaner to suck up as much of the water
  you can. Try this for about 15 minutes. If you
  have your phone taken apart, use the vacuum on
  different spots of the phone to increase the
  chance of getting water out.

• 7. Immerse in Silica Gel or Rice
•  
• Just because your phone has been sucked dry from
  the vacuum cleaner, doesn't mean all the water
  has been removed. At this point you'll want to
  immerse the phone in a heavy amount of silica gel
  or cooking rice. This is to absorb any remaining
  water left within the phone. Make sure to use a
  large amount of rice or silica gel, as the entire
  phone needs to be covered. This step can be
  tricky with phones as pieces of rice could get
  stuck in the audio input. However, as long as you
  carefully place the phone in the rice and set in
  on a steady, even surface, you should be fine.
  Leave your phone in the bag overnight.

• 8. Wait 24-48 Hours Before You Turn It Back On
•  
• After the phone has been removed from the
  absorbing agent, take it out and place it on a
  dry surface. Even though it is tempting, do not
  turn on your phone right away! Remove the phone
  and its parts from the rice and let it sit for
  about a day or two (if you can make it that
  long). Once it has been 24-48 hours, make sure
  there are not any wet spots anywhere on the phone.

• 9. Test Out to See if It's Working
•  
• The moment of truth. Plug the phone into the
  charger, power it on, and observe what happens
  next. With any luck, your phone will turn back on
  and work like normal. Depending on how long your
  phone was in the water and where the water
  reached will all determine whether or not your
  phone can be saved.

• Still Not Working?
•  
• Try taking it to your authorized carrier and see
  if there is anything that can inspect to fix it.
  In some cases, having the battery replaced can
  save the phone. Don't bother trying to be sneaky
  about your phone being exposed to water, there
  are internal indicators that can easily determine
  of your phone has been soaked or not.
• Good luck, and let us know if these steps have
