01. Turn the device off and do not charge it –
You want to keep the phone non-operational
while it dries out.
02. Drip dry and shake off as much water as
possible
03. Dismantle whatever you can – If you are
able to remove the battery and cover, do so.
The more you expose the better it will dry.
04. Cover your phone in a bowl of rice – Rice
will help absorb moisture like how it does in salt
shakers.
05. Draw it away with a vacuum cleaner held
over the affected areas for up to 20
minutes in each accessible area , having
already removed the majority of liquids and
moisture manually and dried all visible moisture
by hand, so that none enters the vacuum
cleaner. This method is preferable to leaving it to
dry naturally as it halts any oxidation from
occurring deep inside, such as can result in
functional issues later on. This is the fastest way
(less than thirty minutes after your phone
drowns, it can be completely dry and working,
especially if you are able to also partly or fully
disassemble it) to quickly get all the internal
moisture out of the phone effectively and stop
the internals from ‘rotting’ away. Remember that
the goal is to suck all the moisture and humidity
out of the phone not to blow it even further in
and create even more evil humidity deep inside
