What to do with your wet cell phone
Posted by Dan Misener under Audio
This week on Spark, Nora tried putting a wet cell phone in dry rice to save it from a watery grave.
If you’re not into rice, Kevin Haffenden from Bongo Wireless offers the following steps:
- Remove the battery immediately. Do not try and power the phone on.
- Use a hair dryer on the phone. Try to dry it out as much as possible.
- Wait. Let it sit and dry naturally for several days.

That advice is good if you don’t need your phone for a few days and are able to wait patiently to see if it does turn on and work properly when it does.
I decided to take mine to the company where I bought it and get a loaner phone until they gave me a diagnosis on fixing the old one.
Coming close to two months now that I’ve been using the loaner phone mind you.
