Let’s face it, it’s one of our worst nightmares. You accidentally dropped your cell phone in the bath (or even worse – the toilet) or jumped into the pool with it in your pocket, or your phone got wet whilst walking in the rain.\n

But don’t panic!\u00a0 Here are some first aid tips for rescuing your drowned phone.\n

Pull your phone out of the water immediately\n

Whether you\u2019ve dropped your phone in the toilet, bathtub, or a lake, the first step is to get it out of the water ASAP. The longer you leave your phone in the water, the more water damage it will absorb.\n

Leaving the phone in water for a longer period of time will allow water to soak into and saturate more of the interior electrical components.\n

Remove the phone\u2019s battery and other interior parts.\n

Before you take any steps to dry off the outside surfaces of the phone, pull out the electrical components. Open the phone case and pull out the battery and the SIM card. If you\u2019ve inserted a micro SD card into your phone, pull that out as well.\n
