How to Rescue a Water-Damaged Phone
1. Power Off Immediately
The single most critical step is turning off the device immediately. If the phone stays on, short circuits can instantly fry delicate internal chips.
2. Avoid the Rice Myth
Do not put your phone in rice. Rice dust and starch can enter the ports and cause more damage. Instead, leave it in an open area with good airflow, or use silica gel packets.
3. When to Seek Professional Ultrasonic Cleaning
Even if the phone dries and turns on, corrosion slowly eats away at the motherboard over time. A professional ultrasonic cleaning safely clears away mineral deposits completely.
