Peaches Posted January 3, 2009 Report Share Posted January 3, 2009 Rescue a Wet Cell Phone So you dropped your cell phone in the toilet. Or left it out in the rain. Or ran it through a load of whites. Hey, it happens. Before slinking into the phone store for a replacement, try bringing your drowned device back to life. First, remove the battery (which may need to be replaced). If your phone has a memory card, take that out, too--it should be fine once it dries. Submerge the phone in a bowl of dry rice, cover it, and leave it overnight. The rice should suck out the moisture from the phone's innards. Pop in a new battery, and you might just be back in business. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
darkerside04 Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 This is excellent advice, and I've heard the same thing from a couple news sources.Also, I was told to use a vacuum after the battery is taken out and the phone is turned off Before you do the rice.
