Save your smartphone that fall into water

  Smartphone and not-so-smart phone users have a
bunch of things that happen to their devices that
they dread but the most common, most dreaded
one of them is WATER! When your phone falls into
water, be it a pool, puddle or worse still the toilet,
you suffer the mildest form of heart attack (esp. if
you bought the phone with your 4 months savings).
You proceed to drying it out with a towel, pulling
out the battery and leaving it under the fan/AC/sun
all the while praying to your ancestors and
confessing to crimes you know nothing of just to
get the phone working. When that doesn’t work,
you try a hair drier which would now compound
your demise by damaging the circuitry of the
device.
Off you go to the nearest repair center pleading
and paying a ridiculous sum through your teeth for
it to be fixed. Between the days spent waiting for
the device, you’ll be half crazed with boredom and
loneliness of great degree and wondering why bad
things happen to good people like….
All the time, the one affordable thing that could
save you is sitting in your mother’s kitchen,
probably what you had for breakfast; RICE!
Yes you read correctly RICE. What you may or may
not know is that rice is a natural desiccant (drying
agent) and due to its high affinity to water it can be
used to absorb moisture from electronic devices.
So if your phone accidentally plops into a bucket of
water or your toilet, don’t fret, all you have to do is
pick it out (do not turn it on or plug in), take out the
battery, get plastic bag or a plastic bowl with cover,
pour uncooked rice, immerse your phone and
battery in the rice and close (airtight). Leave for at
least 24 hrs before attempting to turn on the
device. Guaranteed, your device will come out
nice, dry with full functionality.
