How to Dry Out a Wet Cell Phone

At some point in time, most people have accidentally allowed water to come in contact with their cell phone. While it may appear that your phone is damaged and lost forever, it is possible to save a wet cell phone by drying it out. The first key to drying out your cell phone is to act quickly. The longer the cell phone is wet, the more likely your phone will be permanently damaged.

Start by removing the battery from your phone. Do not attempt to power on your phone after it has come in contact with water. If you have a SIM card in your phone, remove it as well. The most effective way to dry out your phone is to leave it inside a bowl of uncooked rice overnight. The rice will absorb the moisture without causing further damage to your phone. Do not attempt to dry the phone using a heat source. Heat may damage susceptible components in your phone. After the phone has been left overnight in the rice, remove any leftover moisture by blowing compressed air into the phone.
