Author Topic: Just dropped my phone in the toilet. What do?  (Read 4628 times)

Title. It was only in for a second or two.

Any remedies/fixes/whatever?



Dropped phone in river, pulled it out. Continued my textervation.



What's the type of phone?

Put the battery in a bowl of rice. I hear that works.


why are you using your phone while on the toilet?

Take it apart as much as you can without tools. (Remove the battery, SIM card, etc.) Let all the pieces, including your phone, sit in dry rice for a day or two.

Me too. But I don't know if it's true. Right now we have it on a towel over a heater. I wiped it thoroughly with towels n such after it was dropped in.

Just plain dry rice?

I wasn't. It was in my coat pocket and fell out whilst I was pissing.

Yes, plain dry rice.

It is true, it works. Well, it worked for me.

Did you try turning it on? If so, it obviously didn't if you're posting this. You might want to check out the memory thingy. There should be a container area in the back of your phone, see if it is wet inside.
