Phone got wet What to do?

[Venom]

Got a Alcatel ot 602, And It got wet when I dropped It in the sink was empty but the tap was running. It seems ok, What to do?.

Put it in some rice.

 

[Venom]

Will try that thanks. 🙂

I did take It apart, and dried It. But now Ive noticed the cameras broken.

It shows 'noise'.

If you live with a girl you could try a hair-dryer too, just don't overheat the phone.

It's not recommended. My Dad dropped his blackberry in some water and ot stopped working. I put it into rice for a day which fixed it...

We used a hair-dryer at school (don't ask why we had one) because my friend dropped his phone in a puddle and it worked after that 🙂

But the air can blow moisture further In.

Took It apart for 3 hours, Its dry and working. Posting from it now...

I can furthermore conclude using a hair dryer. Put it in rice and use the hair dryer while its in the rice. Don't do it fit long. TURN OFF THE PHONE!!

 

[Venom]

Theres no water left though, I dried It with a towl aswell. Or can It still short circuit?. 😱

 

[iPhonefreak]

It can still short circuit. Leave it in there for a few days.

 

[Venom]

Ok thanks.

Guess Ill see you later then as I dont have pc.

 

[iPhonefreak]

Good luck!

 

[Venom]

Thanks. 🙂

Ill try a hair drier aswell.

 

[iPhonefreak]

Make sure you use low heat in bursts of 10 seconds or so.

Your using it now?

 

[Venom]

The phone?. Yes, gonna turn It off...

I dont think water got Inside, becuase I opened It straight after and It was Dry.

 

[Venom]

Sometimes the touchscreen dont work. Squeezing the casing together seems to fix It for a while???. 😵

 

[iPhonefreak]

Just get an iPhone. 😉

Using both together seems (and probably is) counterintuitive. The rice draws out the moisture and should be the utilized measure of drying things out.
