What happened was this; I got bored so I decided to go for a stroll.
After half an hour I found myself caught out in the rain.
It got really bad and huge puddles started to form on the road.
The worst I’ve seen it in a long time.
At points, the roads were flooded right across with five inches of water covering the footpaths.
My phone was literally submerged in water in my pocket.
It didn’t work when I got home and went to check my e-mail.
However now it does because I worked my magic.
Remove every cover and detachable part you possibly can.
On my phone I took out the memory card, the SIM card, battery and back cover.
Unfortunately, because it’s a touch screen the front does not come away.
Be sure to get as much as you’re free to.
Your phone may work now if it was only submerged for a short period of time.
Like if you dropped it in the sink.
If not, keep reading.
Quick Drying
Your phone now has an appointment at the beauty salon.
A warning: Don’t hold the hair dryer too close to the phone.
Any closer and you could damage your phones electrical components.
Try putting a hair dryer up against a sheet of paper for a few seconds.
It turns it brown - would you want that happening to the inside of your phone?
Put it in the linen closet or some place warm and dry in your house.
Airing cupboards and next to boilers are good choices.
I’d say there is a success rate of around 75%.
This will allow you to dry the moisture from the touch screen.You do this at your own risk.
Many people assume that once water gets in that’s that.
But really, phones are just circuit boards, a screen and a few other bits and bobs.
This is a quick fix to a problem almost everyone will have at some stage.
