Water damage can be devastating for a phone. Here’s what to do immediately:
- Turn It Off: Power off your phone to prevent short circuits.
- Remove External Components: Take out the SIM card, SD card, and battery if possible.
- Dry Immediately: Use a microfiber cloth to wipe off excess water.
- Use Silica Gel: Place your phone in a bag of silica gel packets for 48 hours to absorb moisture.
- Avoid Heat: Don’t use a hairdryer or oven; it can damage internal components.
