Wet Cell Phone - How to fix it!
At that point , I didnt have R1500 to chuck at a new cellphone. But , once again , good old google pulled up my answer and showed me a way to recover my vital communications tool.
Heres how I did it , and it worked. Crazy but true.
- Made sure I didnt try to turn it on or use it when it was wet.
- Washed the phone out with clean water from the tap - completely soaked it through.
- Rolled the phoned in 10 layers of toilet paper.
- Put the phone in the oven at 50c for 10 hours. ( Yes - and the phone does get so hot you cant touch it - this is normal. Its doesent affect LCD screens , cameras or anything )
- Replaced the phones battery. ( These things short circut in water )
- Put the phone on charge for 10 hours.
This worked like a charm. The phone worked brilliantly and I saved myself 1350 rand. ( Minus battery costs ) .So if for some reason your communications center goes swimming , use this method to save yourself some bucks!
It definetly works for a lot of cases , or so I am told. And the alternative is to throw the phone away…so why not try??
Anyway - thats my handy tip for today…
