Despite all these precautions, the screen may remain black or some buttons may no longer respond. In this case, do not persist. Call a qualified repairer, who can open the device, clean the internal components, and attempt to recover data.
And if you’re the forward-thinking type, consider investing in a waterproof case – ideal for vacations, swimming, or minor everyday accidents.
A few more ideas for the airheads
-
- Silica gel packets (the kind you find in shoe boxes) are even more effective than rice . Keep some in a drawer, just in case.
- Leave your phone alone while it dries. Handling it too soon can make things worse.
- Avoid immediate recharges : plugging in a cable while the inside is still wet can burn out the circuits.
A thought to remember
A phone can survive a dive… as long as you keep a cool head and adopt the right reflexes!
