Even though your first instinct is to put your phone in a bowl and fill it with rice, this technique is not as effective as you think, fortunately, the PcComponents team explains the right way to do it.

The first thing we have to do as soon as our device has contact with water is to turn it off and/or disconnect it from the electric current. In none of the cases should you put it to charge.

Although rice has always been said to be the key to saving your wet smartphone because it is absorbent, rice can leave starch remnants that further deteriorate the interior of your device.

Another common technique is to use a hairdryer as a solution, however, the air can move the water to areas where it had not been wet initially, which could cause a short circuit.

That is why the best thing to do is to put your electronic device in a container for 24/48 hours with silica bags, as they stand out for their absorption capacity.
