Wet cell phone tip # 18 stop the flow of electricity

If your phone gets wet the most important thing is to stop the power that is flowing through the circuitry in your phone. You can do this by removing the battery right away on turning your phone off if you can not remove the battery, like with an iPhone. This is a crucial step to save your phone. If you press a button while the phone still has power to it you will short out your phone and damage it beyond repair. Once the electricity is no longer flowing through your phone you can begin drying it out.

I can not tell you how many calls I get with people saying they tried to see if their phone was still working by pressing a button or trying to make a call while the phone was wet. All of these calls end the same way their phone isn't working and there is not much anyone can do about it. Once the screen is shorted out that is it. The best way to think of it is like a hair dryer, if you dropped your hairdryer in the bath you would never plug it in right away to see if its working that would be crazy, and dangerous. A cell phone is just as much an electronic item as a hairdryer, be smart about it. for more information on how to save a wet cell phone go to www.dry-all.com
