Okay guys, time for some lessons!! I don't do this post without a reason. Apparently, my phone really did drop in water. -.- it all began like this:
Unofficial Open House Day for NYP
So, I was in school getting ready with the other guides in school and I was planning to go to the toilet together with my sister and YR. I brought ma phone with me and put it in my jeans back pocket.
-In toilet cubicle- (Abit too much details O//O)
Without thinking much, I just
Me: WTH was that??
I stand up and look in the toilet bowl.
OMAGODDESS!! MA PHONE IS IN THE WATER!!
I took my phone out as fast as possible and dry up the water. (Thank goodness I haven't pee.. O.O)
Don't die on me baby!! :<
At that moment, the phone was still working so I thought Phew~ at least it's okay ;____;
Then I went back to the gathering place and found out later that ma phone has blacked out. I thought that it's strange that I still could feel the vibration from whatsapp messages but just can't view it. =.= Cos it's just a blank screen where you can unlock but still it's just a black screen...WAHHH!! T____T So freakin scared. Whateva am I supposed to do.??!!
Oh well, I decided to just leave it alone (Boring) until I reached home. I was planning to unscrew everything and dry the hell outta it.
But, (Yay!! The buts..) silly me thought it was so simple; there're some screws that don't fit the screwdrivers Daddy have at home.
*Exasperated* I went to google it up and found the SOLUTION!! Yay!!
The golden rule: When in doubt, GOOGLE it!! :D
And so, Here's the most important tip:
1st: Take out your battery as fast as possible!!
(I meant after you took it out of the water of course :O)
*Please don't panic and be in a trance O.O By then you could really say sayonara to it..
Yeap. Just get it out first. (Even if its super dirty..) :d By doing so, it cuts off all possible electricity that is going through. You should all know that water conducts electricity right? With the power on, it will cause it to have short circuit and everything will go haywire. At this point of time, check the "water sticker thingy" that will be on the sides of the battery. If it has water damaged, it will change colour. ( Mine did. O//O)
2nd: Take cloths or paper towels to dry your baby up.
*Try not to use tissue. They might tear and get stuck in between the grooves.
*Don't shake it too much when cleaning. It might cause the water to get deeper into corners hard to dry.
3rd: Use a vacuum to suck the water out.
*Don't use a hairdryer! It will push the water deeper. (Apparently, I did that before I google it but luckily, nth happen :D)
*Try not to use heat to dry your phone. Your phone compartments might overheat. Worse come to worse, if it gets too hot, it will explode as well *screams*
4th: Leave it buried in a container of rice and silica gel packets.
*Rice absorbs moisture very well, so just leave your baby in the container (covered with lid) overnight. Don't itchy finger open, close, open, close okay!! Just let it be and try not to do anything suicidal while you overcome your boredness without your baby.
*Silica gel packets can be found together with your shoes in the box or packets of crackers.
*If you can, try to leave it as long as possible :D Maybe even more than 24 hours (Please don't die here :O)
5th: Let's try to get baby up and working! ^O^
*Now that you've dry it up, put your battery back and it should be working again :D
For me, I got impatient and try to power it up. It manage to start up but then it died again X____X So, I just leave it for another day and then it work this time ! :D
*If it doesn't power up, dry connecting to your charger, if it still doesn't work, you might have to take it to an authorize dealer who would help your poor baby.
*Important note: If yours fall in salt water or the sea ?!! Flush it with lots of clean water before drying it ( with the battery taken out), or it will leave salt crystals in your phone.
And so, my phone is working now!! YAY!! Please learn from my mistake absent-mindedness and try not to bring your phone to the toilet. The horror!! You wouldn't want that to happen to you :( If you really come across such a situation *touch-wood* , you are fully prepared on what you are supposed to do now!!
With that, I end today's lesson and see you guys next time!! :D Thank you class!! You are dismissed!! *Bows*
w/love,
Meiyu
