Not all smartphones are water-resistant and that’s the concern. Even a drop of water, if it escapes into the internal assembly, can damage the affected component or at least interfere with the normal working of the smartphone. In case if you accidentally dropped your phone in a toilet or pool or anywhere there is water or if water or any liquid spills on your phone, this calls for water damaged smartphone. If it’s severe i.e. if the phone was fully submerged in water for some time, it could result in permanent damage and it won’t start up. But if you show your reflex action and take the phone out of the water it drops in any water body, there is a chance you can revive it. There is a set of procedures that you must do if your phone is water damaged.
What shouldn’t I do?
Because I can commence with what you need to do, you must understand what you shouldn’t do in such a situation. First of all, time is very important and every second count when it comes to any electronic device without any proper water-resistance. This is why you need to be proactive and show your reflex actions by pulling out the phone the moment it drops into the water and keep it aside.
Here’s what you shouldn’t do. First of all, don’t try to press any key or shake the phone or dab/touch/slide fingers on the screen. You mustn’t move the phone too much as it can push the water into the PCB if it wasn’t already there and that will be expensive to repair. Further, you mustn’t plug in the phone to a charger as it is common sense that water and electricity don’t really get along. Furthermore, you mustn’t try to use air blower or try to heat up the phone with the notion that it will draw out the water because it won’t happen but it will surely create more damage if you don’t stop doing it.
