But this doesn't always happen, and if we do the right thing with a wet iPhone, we can save it and not have to get rid of our precious treasure. Since not all of us know these tips and tricks, we are going to explain step by step what we can do in the event that, hopefully not, our mobile phone has gotten wet, that is, it has fallen into the water.
WHAT TO DO WITH A WET IPHONE
In these cases, there are several points to address that, as we have said, we are going to discuss one by one.
First of all, we must act as quickly as possible. By this we mean that as soon as the iPhone comes into contact with water, we must remove it as quickly as possible, in order to avoid further damage and a possible recovery.
Once our iPhone has fallen into water, it is normal for it to turn off and stop working. In the event that it is still on, make sure to turn it off as soon as possible.
Once out of the water, a very common mistake is to blow hot air on it. With this, what we achieve is to spread the water throughout the device, so if there is an unaffected area, with this we also get it wet. Therefore, we will avoid blowing air to dry it.
The best thing we can do is dry our iPhone with an absorbent towel, but that is, avoiding moving it as little as possible. Because if we start to move our device abruptly, the water inside it will also spread and make the situation worse.
The next step is to remove the SIM card, so that it is not affected. And when removing the card, we will also leave our SIM tray out, in this way our iPhone will have a little more ventilation and we will achieve better drying (which is what interests us).
Now we go with the most important step, which is not turning on our iPhone, after about 48 hours. Until we make sure that it is very dry. To help dry it, there is a trick, we could say that of the grandmother, which consists of putting our iPhone in a pot with rice. To do this, we must completely bury the device with rice. The rice grain will absorb all the water that is in our wet iPhone.
Finally, and in case it doesn't work, we must check the contact sensors (a white band, with red dots). They are sensors that incorporate all devices, and are better known as informers. They are called informers, since when you take your wet mobile to be repaired (with warranty), the first thing they look at are these sensors. If these sensors are completely red, goodbye to your warranty.
And these are all the steps we must follow, if by bad luck, our iPhone has fallen into the water and we have been completely wet. By following these steps, you can have a little hope, because your wet iPhone may come back to life.
We are in first aid for mobile phones, and in this case we are trying to save the life of an iPhone .
