Drop your phone in the toilet and think you’re shit out of luck? Well, you might be! - but hopefully not...

What to do with WATER DAMAGE - HOW TO Repair/Fix water damaged cell phones...
Emergency Water Recovery


1. REMOVE BATTERY ASAP!! BATTERY=POWER ... power to your phone+water=short=your screwed
If the battery has been in the phone for a long, extended time (over 1 minute), I wouldn't try to fix it, because the water has probably shorted the phone already .... you could try but...


2. Open phone and dry it as best as possible. Try and use a hair dryer (low low low power). DRY don't fry.


3. Purchase "plastics safe" degreaser/electronics cleaner. You can probably find it at Home Depot. Even though it is supposedly "plastics safe," keep it away from all the rubber on your phone (i.e. keypad, side buttons) because it is probably not totally safe. Spray the degreaser/electronics clear on the boards, and then use a small brush (how bout a toothbrush) to clean all the contacts, etc.


4. Now just let the whole phone dry overnight. Even though the cleaner dries pretty fast, you never know if you missed a spot.


5. Re~assemble and hope for the best!! If it doesn't work, try using a different battery.

Good luck!!!
