I will try something to fix my phone

My phone fell into the water and I immediately removed it from the water. When I turn it on, it keeps on shutting down and the screen doesn’t respond. My aunt said that I should dry my phone and leave it for half a month. She said she tried it when she dropped her phone from the toilet and her phone was fine now. I hope this would be true so I’ll try this solution. Has any of you proved it would help save my phone?

Hi @gachaz ,

What is the make and model number of the phone?

As you know water and electronics and electricity are not a good mix.

The impurities in the water causes corrosion and provides circuit paths for the electricity which were not in the phone's operating design and could damage the components.

First do not try to turn on or charge your phone and then you need to remove the battery as soon as possible from the phone to minimize any further damage.

Then you need to dis-assemble the rest of the phone and clean all the affected parts using Isopropyl Alcohol 90%+ (available from electronics parts stores), to remove all traces of corrosion and water. Do not use "rubbing alcohol" as in some cases this is only 70% IPA or less, can contain scents and is not as effective. If you do check the label to verify the amount of IPA.

Here is a link that describes the process.

Electronics Water Damage

As always with electronics, especially surface mounted pcb be gentle when handling and especially when brushing away the corrosion. You do not want to remove any components from the board.

Hopefully after you have done all this the phone might possibly work correctly again.

You don’t state the make or model number of the phone so search on ifixit to see if there is a repair guide for the phone which may be of some help in the dis-assembly process.

If cleaning it yourself seems too daunting, take your phone to a reputable, professional phone repair service experienced in water damage repair and ask for a quote for a repair. If you decide to do this, do it sooner than later.

My phone is O+ USA but I can't remember the model

Hi @gachaz ,

Here's a link to a video of an O+ phone teardown.

Whilst it may not be for your model (as you don't know what it is) it might still be helpful.

You might find the model number of the phone printed under the battery. Just a thought.

Thanks, Jayeff. My O+USA model is BAT40Ai , 8.96 and has a non removable battery.

Hi @gachaz ,

The manufacturer might say that the battery is non removable to deter the user, but as you can buy a replacement battery which appears as though it plugs in, although it may be glued down, it can be done.

You just have to get to it.

I cannot find a video that shows how to dis-assemble your model phone, but I'm sure that a reputable, professional mobile phone repair service should be able to do it.

Will my phone finally be okay if they replace my phone's battery? Will it work again like its fine?

First thing first… Never switch on a phone which has been dropped and taken out of water… immediately. Remove battery, SIM & SD card (if any). Let your phone dry by keeping it under a bulb or in a place where sunlight falls (no direct sun light). You should let it dry for 3-4 days. If you are placing it below a bulb ; keep it for 2-3 hours and remove it for awhile and again place it for 2-3 hours.

In Asian countries; we keep these kind of phones in Raw Rice for 3-4 days, as it absorbs the moisture very well. Since this option may not be possible for you, i did my best.

Hi @tumharajai ,

This link may be of interest to you

Don't Put Your Device in Rice. Here's Why...

Rice can't stop corrosion or absorb water caught under the shields which may cover some components.

Hello @tumharajai , I am drying out my phone in a place where the sun shines. Would my phone be fine after I let it stay for 3-4 days there? My phone is O+ USA. Thank you!
