Water may not have an enemy but it is certainly not a ‘friend’ to all things. This is one stark reality that must have hit us at some point in life and sometimes that could come at huge cost. Many are the mobile phones that have been ruined by water even after they must have been subjected to heat [with the SIM card removed].
There is however a sure [and quick-fire] way of getting your phone to work perfectly well again after water must have entered into it. To do this, you must have a number of tools at hand; these include precision screwdrivers, toothbrush and methylated spirit.
To begin with, you should promptly remove the battery and SIM card(s) from the phone and then proceed to uncouple the phone. Now, gently take out the panel and clean it with the toothbrush that has been dipped into methylated spirit – the spirit will help to absorb the water and ensure quick evaporation. Thereafter, you should place the panel under the sun for a couple of minutes. With the panel fully ridded of water, you can bring the whole piece back together again and have fun using your phone.
