How To Save A Wet Mobile Phone???

thing might or might not work on sophisticated / high-tech / superb phones...
all the best!!!...

1. Get it out of the water as soon as possible.
The plastic covers on cell phones are fairly tight, but water can enter the phone over time.
But this time may be quite short - 20 seconds or less. So grab your phone quickly!

2. Remove the battery.
This is one of the most important steps.
Don't take time to think about it; electricity and water do not mix.
Cutting power to your phone is a crucial first step in saving it.
Many circuits inside the phone will survive immersion in water provided they are not attached to a power source when wet.

3. Remove your SIM card.
Some or all of your valuable contacts (along with other data) could be stored on your SIM.
To some people this could be more worth saving than the phone itself.
SIM cards survive water damage well, but some of the following steps are unnecessary i.e. don't heat it.
Just pat it dry and leave it aside until you need to connect your phone to your cellular network.

4. Dry your phone.
Obviously you need to remove as much of the water as soon as possible, so you can prevent it from getting into the phone.
Use a towel or paper towel to remove as much of the water as possible.

5. Allow the phone to dry.
Since you do not want to ruin your phone or lose all of the numbers in your phone book, you need to allow the phone to dry.
Also, ringtones and graphics stay with the phone - not the SIM.
Don't try putting the battery back on to see if it works as this would risk damaging the phone with a short circuit.

6. Wait.
This is the hardest part - leaving your phone alone, with battery and SIM card out, while it dries slowly.
Tricks like leaving your phone in a bowl of dry rice will help to expedite moisture evaporation.
They might also have side effects like getting rice in your phone.
Just put it someplace reasonably warm and dry, uncovered so water can evaporate, and wait.

7. Test your phone.
After you have waited 3 days, make sure everything is clean and dry looking and re-attach the battery to the phone and see if it works.
If your phone does not work, wait another few days.
If it still won't work, try taking your cell phone to an authorized dealer. Sometimes they can fix it.

Found an interesting alternative...but haven't tried...all the best to those want to try it

Alternate Alcohol Soak Method
( not recommended if u don't know what you are doing )

Dry your phone by soaking it in alcohol or distilled water.
This method is controversial and considered risky by some, but the proponents believe in it strongly.
Using alcohol is more effective than distilled water because not only does it displace the water and sediments,
it also evaporates faster with less residue.
It will not harm a mobile phone. Preferably, use denatured alcohol or a 95% alcohol solution.
Denatured alcohol may be purchased at any hardware store and is used to clean electronics because it evaporates quickly and leaves no residue.
You should check to see what the alcohol is denatured with.
If it is anything other than methanol (some are denatured with very hazardous chemicals such as methyl ethelyne ketone [MEK]) you should not use it, as some denaturants can melt plastics.
Most drugstores or larger retailers carry 91% rubbing alcohol. Regular rubbing alcohol is only 70% and is not recommended.
Distilled water also displaces water and is a viable alternative because it is non-conductive.
Prolonged exposure to other liquids will cause corrosion of the copper traces within the mobile phone, and will most likely cease its operation.

The less risky ways to dry your phone

1. Set it on top of the vent of a cable box, monitor or TV for at least 24 hours (up to 3 days). The low heat emitted is enough to gently dry out the phone.

2. The longer your phone is wet the more likely it is to be damaged. To dry your phone more quickly than room temperature air can manage, immerse it in a can of dry, uncooked rice. The rice will absorb excess moisture, drying your phone from the inside out.

3. An alternate drying technique is to seal the phone (battery, SIM card, SD card all removed) in a plastic bag with a few of the silica packs that come packed with shoes, coats, electronics. Leave the phone in the bag for a day or 2, and the silica packs will absorb the moisture.

4. One other way to assist in the drying process is to put your cell phone in a disposable baby diaper. Works for babies and can work for the cell phone as well.

TIPS

* Don't put the battery in for at least three days, or longer if your digital screen is foggy.

* If your phone falls in the ocean or other salt water, rinse with fresh water before crystals can form after removing battery.

* Try opening your phone if you can. You'll probably need a TORX screwdriver for that, but it's worth it. This may void your warranty, but it is likely the water damage already has.

* It is likely that the dunk in water will kill the battery. The phone itself usually survives.

* Corrosion is a threat. You may want to consider soaking your phone in distilled water to wash away any minerals it picked up from the original water.
