How To Remove Water From A Wet Phone.

[Lottalaffs]

I dropped my phone down the toilet for a second, on advice from a friend I then cooked some rice, put in a Tupperware box covering the phone and left for two days.

I took out the phone and the phone is now dripping in condensation so how do I remove the water now as there wasn’t any visible before I put the phone in the rice.

It should have been dried rice.....

[webbo3]

the rice was meant to be dry.

[dannyk13]

I think the rice should have been raw.

The rice is meant to be dry and uncooked!

I think you will need a brand new phone.

You should have only handled the phone with chopsticks.

Ditto the 4 above. Trust you took the battery off ASAP.
If so start again with the uncooked rice, and put in the airing cupboard.

Welcome to AB, Lottalaffs....excellent timing.....nice to have new members.

[Old_Geezer]

I doubt the lid was necessary. It'd trap moisture that didn't get soaked up by the rice.

[Hopkirk]

Come on folks. Look at this newbie's name.

[Old_Geezer]

Well none so far.

[murraymints]

you should have added curry paste ?

Since you are in NI, the easiest way to dry out your phone is to find a DUP assembly member and ask them to shout at it - the resultant blast of hot air should remove all moisture.

PS - please could a gnome relocate this thread to Jokes and keep an eye on the OP for more side-splitting posts?

Never never
Will understand why people take their phone to the toilet the amount of people who do it and drop it down it...unbelievable! !

[Lottalaffs]

Okay I’ve sponged it down and it looks dry so is it okay to plug it in to see whether it charges up?

[murraymints]

go on.... but don't get your hopes up...

[Voltage]

Good grief !

[ummmm]

Voltage - a lot of the time it's when the phone is in their back pocket. My daughter has done it quite a few times (only in the pub though, not at home)
