5. Getting rid of Moisture
Next you need to get rid of the moisture in the phone. To do so we need a desiccant; which basically is a substance that absorbs moisture. Do not worry no one is asking you to head to a hardware shop or chemical shop and buy something. The easily available desiccant is rice - uncooked rice. Take a bowl full of rice and drop your phone in the bowl and close it. Leave the phone there for about 2-3hours.
6. Last leg of Drying
After all of the above steps it's ideal to leave the phone to dry for a day but another 2-3hours on a napkin should do the trick.
7. Starting Up & Problems
Now you can go head and turn on your mobile. If you're in luck your phone starts and doesn't act up.
Problems
Screen showing lines
Some buttons not clicking
Phone not starting at all
For all such problems it's now best to hand it over to the experts. You can try to open up your handset and dry each of its components, but that's at your own risk.
If your earpiece or mouthpiece is acting up then you can try cleaning it with a brush. But not a toothbrush, as you'll damage the speaker. Use a soft compound water paint brush or shoe polish brush.
Final Words
If you follow these steps, there is a chance of saving your phone. Hope this information has been helpful. Take care of your gadgets while you enjoy the rains.
