How do you save a wet cell phone? ?

Question

Me and my friends went riding on a tube on her lake and she told me we wouldn't get wet.( i no now that its impossible not to get wet on a tube) so we fell in and i completely forgot that my phone was in my pocket. Now its not turning on and im just letting it dry out for 24 hours. Is there any way i can get it replaced or fixed without spending more than $40. Its less than a month old and i dont think the stupid verison ppl will replace it for water damage for free. It's an LG Chocolate if that helps. Is there any hope for my little phone :((?

Answer 1

If you have a warranty, you have a chance of your company trying to repair it. If not do these steps.

Go to that site. I suggest maybe buying a new battery and sim card. Just to make sure that you are not wasting your money, ask your company if that would make your phone work and where you buy your new battery and sim card, put it into your phone while you are still in the store because if it does not work it saves you a trip of going back to the store. Hope this helps!

Answer 2

Change the battery to see if it starts working. Because wet batteries are spoiled batteries. It can cause minor short circuits.

Answer 3

Blow dryer.

Answer 4

24 hours is not enough, in fact, you shouldn't have even tried to turn it on, in the first place.

Any time electronics get wet, you should let them dry out for, at least, a full week (preferably two), before even trying to turn them back on.  Electronics can completely short out, if there's any water in them, but if you have them turned off until they dry out, there's a chance they'll survive.  

Answer 5

Take out the battery and put the phone and battery in a container of white rice for 3 days.  Take it out.  If it doesn't work than plug it in.  If it turns on you need a new battery.

Answer 6

open it and dried with hair- dryer. good luck !
