What if the phone fell into the water?

How would we not love our dearest technique, no matter how cared for its integrity and safety, and incidents sooner or later happen to everyone. And if we are talking about a simple model of a mobile phone or an apparatus that is already more than one year old, then the disappointment will not be so strong. But what if you just recently bought a completely new communicator, having spent a tidy sum on it, and the phone fell into the water? A familiar situation for many, is not it? Who of us does not like to listen to music in the bath? Or it may be that a sudden important call caught the smartphone owner off guard. But whatever situation we are considering, the result is still the same - a wet technique on your hands and a panic from the cost of the upcoming repair in the eyes. So what should be the very first actions of the owner, if the phone fell into the water? We will give the main provisions that can alleviate the situation and prevent the development of destructive processes within the apparatus. But nevertheless it is highly recommended to contact specialists. Only a knowledgeable person can save technology from ultimate destruction.

The phone fell into the water. What should the owner do?

The most important thing is to remove the battery as soon as possible and try to dry the contacts. If you do not do it in time, then the probability that the phone will have to be changed completely, significantly increases. Wipe off any water droplets from the housing. Carefully, without superfluous efforts, open the back panel. Remove the battery from the device. Leave the phone in such disassembled condition for about night. Under it, first place a soft absorbent cloth so that the leaking water does not accumulate under the unit. The phone itself is best not to put the screen down, but vice versa - up to the empty socket for the battery. Otherwise, the liquid can penetrate deeper and spoil not only the screen itself, but also the "insides," which is even more unpleasant.

Attention! Do not place the device on a battery or other heating device. This way you not only will not help the phone, but also exacerbate the situation, since high temperatures can damage the subtle details inside the device.

After the phone fell into the water, and you took advantage of the above advice and dried it, it would be nice to protect the contacts from oxidation. Otherwise, it may happen that the charger will not be recognized, the headphones will not be connected, and the device itself will not last for a long time without replacing all listed elements. Such repairs will cost the owner of the phone not cheap. Dampen the cotton swab with alcohol and gently, trying not to touch and do not cling to the metal pins in the nests, wipe the indentations from the inside. Do not do this with oil or some other fat means. Alcohol prevents oxidative processes, and everything else can only do harm.

If the phone fell into the water, you should immediately pay attention to the presence of water under the glass screen. If there are visible drops, it is best to remove the top panel and gently remove the liquid with a cotton swab. Otherwise, you risk losing your display permanently. Especially for the wet, sensitive touch screens are sensitive . If the phone fell into the water, and the display belongs to a series of capacitive (reacts solely to touching bare fingers), then this is the worst option. In this case, pay as much attention as possible to this detail.

Well, finally, ultrasonic bath will help to finally get rid of water in the "inner world" of the communicator . Such adaptation is available, as a rule, in specialized workshops. With its help, all tiny particles of moisture are removed, and the steel "stuffing" does not start to oxidize and rust. So now if your phone has fallen into the water, you know what to do. Good luck and be careful with the technique.
