Some Recovery Tips to save your Phone :

  1. Remove battery from your phone, since water is good conductor circuits may get damaged if there exists power in phone. So, removing battery is one of the crucial step in saving your phone.
  2. Dry your phone as much as you can , like smoothing it with piece of cloth or hand kerchief.
  3. Drying water on the phone is only major concern, there are two ways here
    • By soaking your mobile in alcohol(90% pure) . Since alcohol is hygroscopic it dissolves all available water in mobile and soon alcohol will evaporate and there is no problem in using alcohol but there may be glues at stickers of your phone.
    • You can leave your phone as it is , ideally it is better to leave your phone with battery removed for atleast 3 days and try to put your phone in hot places so that water gets evaporated very soon, hot places in the sense are like placing vents of your TV , shadowed places in sunny day but don’t put the phone nearby direct heat sources like stove.

    Note that you should not try to test your phone before the water in phone completely gets dried by putting back battery in phone usually it takes 3 days for water to get completely dried.

  4. Once you are done , insert battery back into phone and check whether it is working or not.If it is working then every thing is fine else your phone is damaged.Mainly display screen gets problems by dropping it in water , you should take it to customer care as you can do nothing.
