7 Tips for reworking your mobile phones after being dropped in water

People cannot imagine a day without their mobile phones nowadays with phones occupying a very significant place in our lives. Mobile phones are prone to damage due to their rampant usage as also many times we have observed that there is whole lot of mayhem when it is dropped in the water. Well here are the 7 useful tips for bringing your mobile phone back to normalcy after it has been dropped into the water.

1. The first step you need to take is the immediate shutting off your mobile once it is recovered, although in most cases you will not have to do that as they itself get off automatically. Patience pays off - do not dare to experiment anything new and test the phone whether it is working or not until the phone is absolutely dry which takes around 2-4 days generally.
   
   
2. Then you need to remove all its vital parts that include a battery, phone covers, faceplates, SIM card and others.
   
   
3. The next big step includes the removal of salt as soon as possible which will demand a bottle filled of distilled water. You actually need to re-submerge the phone to make sure that the metals in your phone are immune from the rust problem. I say it again as you do not dare to check whether the phone is in the working condition or not.
   
   
4. Then pleasingly soak all the parts of the phone with distilled water except for the SIM card and battery as also the LCD screens.
   
   
5. Take help of the direct sunlight as you need to keep the device to air dry for 2-3 days under direct sunlight. Do not in any case, attempt to experiment and use a hair dryer for providing immediate heat to fasten the process.
   
   
6. For those who are in a big hurry, use a electronics cleaner as also rubbing alcohol in place of distilled water.
   
   
7. Last but not the least, you will observe a miracle after 2-4 days of air drying the device as you need to plug it into the charger or battery and then test the device. Hopefully your patience will pay off!!! Believe me, the method is a tested one.
