Dropped my phone in the pool

[keco52]

It was completely submerged. I put it in a bowl of rice overnight and it's as good as new. :nuts: What would I do without google?

 

[Bigg Limn]

rice really is the best trick for that, fuckin cracks me up that it works lol...

 

[Bobby Sands]

rice is great.

 

[Flipmo]

Ain't that something. It dries your cellphone, and you can eat it too!

^listen...stfu

 

[ill-matic]

lol that's awesome! it actually worked??? what phone do you have?

 

[Freedom Froggy]

never heard of that trick

 

[Casey]

the worst thing you can do if your phone gets wet is to try and turn it on. That'll fuck it up. The rice completely absorbs all the moisture (thats what rice does!) and when all the moisture is gone, you can turn it back on without it short circuiting.

mobile phone rissoto :nuts:

putting it on top of a radiator works well too

alternatively also, if you accidentally put your phone in the washing machine continue the process and put it in the tumble dryer afterwards

water doesnt seem to damage mobile phones much as they don't short circuit, just don't work while wet, as long as you dry it out well before the components start rusting

Moth balls in a bag work, too.

[_carmi]

this is interesting! i didn't know that.

 

[Bigg Limn]

Usually the worst Ive seen after the rice trick is some rice stuck in the ports so it rattles around a lil bit, but I think Ive seen it work every time.

 

[Snowman]

wow i'll have to remember doing that.

but if you had verizon you could have gotten yourself a new phone.

^^^^

Or, insurance on your phone, with basically any provider.

 

[hizzle?]

Cellphones are never insured against water.

 

[_streethop101]

Don't tell them you dropped it in water, tell them you lost it. Worked for me.
