每个人在他们生命中的某个时刻都会发生这种情况：他们美妙而珍贵的手机从他们的手中滑落到马桶、水槽或其他一些无情的液体中！
有一次我把手机掉进游泳池里(swimming pool)，用力摇晃它，然后用吹风机(hair dryer)吹干它。没用(t work)，电话没电了！我在这篇文章中提到的一些提示你认为是常识，但我当时没有想到。(t think)
幸运的是，如果您的手机很长时间没有被淹没在水下，您可以采取一些措施来修复它，并可能为您节省更换手机的成本。
显然，如果您拥有任何最新的 iPhone 或三星(Samsung)设备，它们都是防水或防水的。因此，如果您长时间不使用旧手机，则可能值得升级。
第一件事
在我们讨论如何干燥手机之前，您应该在将手机从液体中取出后立即做几件事。
- 确保(Make sure)关闭手机。我们要防止手机短路。
- 如果可以，请继续卸下电池。这在很多手机上是不可能的，比如 iPhone，但如果可以，请立即将其删除。
- 如果可以，请取出SIM 卡。(SIM card)这没什么大不了的，但是如果您在那里存储了重要数据，尤其是对于Android用户，您可以通过移除卡来保存所有数据。
现在，让我们谈谈干燥手机。首先(First)，确保将其关闭至少两天，并从设备上取下任何外壳或外壳。
初干
我最初犯的一个错误是经常摇晃手机。我认为它会帮助去除水，但后来我发现它只是帮助水进入(water get)手机的其他部分。
除了不要摇晃手机外，请继续擦掉设备表面的任何可见水。如果您可以打开手机，请轻轻擦干所有内部部件。
干燥技术
电吹风
在这一点上，你可以做很多不同的事情。我犯的另一个大错误是错误地使用了吹风机(hair dryer)。这似乎是晾干东西的完美选择，对吧？错误的！您可以使用吹风机(hair dryer)，但只能使用风扇或凉爽的设置。不要在吹风机(hair dryer)上使用任何加热设置。
吸尘器
您还应该避免使用真空吸尘器，因为它们造成的伤害比帮助更大。如果你有一个小型电脑真空吸尘器(computer vacuum)，并且有一个附件可以与手机形成良好的密封，那就试一试。
否则，我不建议您尝试使用家用真空吸尘器(home vacuum)，因为静电会损坏设备中的电路。
未熟的饭
最好的选择是将手机放入塑料袋中，装满大米或藜麦(rice or quinoa)，密封袋子，放置几天。
缺点是你必须等待很长时间，但绝对值得等待。这种方法效果很好，很多人都信誓旦旦。
关于大米的另一件事是，你应该尝试使用密封包装中的大米。打开的米饭(Open rice)不能吸收那么多的水，你会浪费你的时间。
干燥剂
什么是干燥剂？我也不确切知道，但我们一直看到他们。显然，你一直在鞋子、衣服甚至食物中发现的那些小的二氧化硅小包。
你可以从亚马逊(Amazon)上以便宜的价格买到这些，基本上把你的手机和一堆这些东西塞进一个密封的袋子里。您也可以购买其他干燥剂，如干燥剂，(drierite)并以相同的方式使用。这种方法比大米快得多，因为这些东西真的可以吸收水分。
这里的主要内容是您需要创建一个紧密的密封。一旦你这样做了，尽可能长时间地离开它。同样，时间越长，您的手机就会变得越干。水需要很长时间才能干涸，所以准备好等待 2 到 3 天(day wait)。
其他方法
您还应避免使用其他干燥方法，例如将手机放在阳光下、使用微波炉或烤箱。所有的坏主意。太阳可能没问题，但你必须正确地做。例如，将其放在毛巾上以避免地面过热，放置时间不超过 15 到 20 分钟。
真空室是干燥手机的另一种好方法，但你家里没有。幸运的是，有一家名为 Redux(company call Redux)的公司与全国各地的手机维修店合作，以便您使用。(cell phone repair)
最后，如果您将手机掉入不是水的液体中，您可能需要先尝试“清洗”手机。比如掉进海里或者泡在苏打水里，那么液体干燥后留下的残留物就会损坏手机。
在这些情况下，您唯一的选择是酒精浴(alcohol bath)，但使用酒精可能会损坏您的屏幕。这不是一个理想的情况，但至少你最终可能会得到一部可以开机的手机。希望(Hopefully)其中一些技巧可以让您的手机干燥(phone dry)并再次工作。享受！
How to Fix or Repair a Wet or Liquid Damaged Smartphone
It happеns to everyone at some point in their lіves: their wonderful and precious phone slips out of their hand and into a toilet, sink or some other unforgiving liquid!
One time I dropped my phone into a swimming pool and tried to dry it by shaking it hard and then using a hair dryer. It didn’t work and the phone died! Some tips that I mention in this post you think would be common sense, but I didn’t think of it at the time.
Luckily, if your phone has not been submerged underwater for a long time, there are some things you can do to fix it and possibly save yourself the cost of having to replace it.
Obviously, if you have any of the most recent iPhones or Samsung devices, they are all either waterproof or water-resistant. So if you’ve been holding back with an older phone for a long time, it might be worth an upgrade.
First Things First
Before we get into how to go about drying your phone, there are a couple of things you should do immediately after removing the phone from the liquid.
- Make sure to turn off the phone. We want to prevent the phone from short circuiting.
- If you can, go ahead and remove the battery. This isn’t possible on a lot of phones, like the iPhone, but if you can, remove it immediately.
- Remove the SIM card if you can. It’s not a big deal, but if you have important data stored on there, especially for Android users, you might be able to save all that data by removing the card.
Now, let’s talk about drying your phone. First, make sure to keep it off for at least two days and remove any cases or covers from the device.
Initial Drying
One mistake I made originally was shaking my phone a lot. I thought that it would help remove the water, but later on I found out it simply help the water get to other parts of the phone.
In addition to not shaking the phone, go ahead and wipe off any visible water off the surface of the device. If you can open the phone, dry any internal parts gently.
Drying Techniques
Hair Dryer
There are a bunch of different things you can at this point. Another big mistake that I had made was using a hair dryer incorrectly. It seems like the perfect choice for drying something out right? Wrong! You can use a hair dryer, but only use the fan or cool setting. Do not use any heat setting on the hair dryer.
Vacuums
You should also avoid using vacuums as they can cause more damage than help. If you have a small computer vacuum and there is an attachment that creates a good seal with the phone, then give it a shot.
Otherwise, I don’t recommend trying to use your home vacuum as static electricity can damage the circurity in the device.
Uncooked Rice
The best option is to put your phone into a plastic bag, fill it with rice or quinoa, seal the bag and let it is sit for several days.
The downside is that you have to wait a long time, but it’s definitely worth the wait. This method works well and many people swear by it.
The other thing to note about rice that you should try to use rice from a sealed packet. Open rice will not be able to absorb as much water and you’ll be wasting your time.
Desiccants
What are desiccants? I didn’t know exactly either, but we see them all the time. Apparently, it’s those small little packets of silica that you find in shoes, clothing, and even food all the time.
You can buy these from Amazon on the cheap and basically stuff your phone and a bunch of these into a tightly sealed bag. You can also buy other desiccants like drierite and use it in the same way. This method is way faster than rice because these things can really absorb moisture.
The main thing here is that you need to create a tight seal. Once you do that, leave it for as long as you can. Again, the longer the time, the more dry your phone will become. It takes a really long time for water to dry up, so be ready for a 2 to 3 day wait.
Other Methods
There are other methods of drying that you should avoid like placing your phone in the sun, using a microwave or using an oven. All bad ideas. The sun might be OK, but you have to do it properly. For example, place it on a towel to avoid excessive heat from the ground and leave it out for no more than 15 to 20 mins.
Vacuum chambers are another great way to dry out phones, but you won’t have one at home. Luckily, there is a company call Redux that partners with cell phone repair shops all around the country so that you can use one.
Lastly, if you dropped your phone into a liquid that is not water, you may have to try “washing” the phone first. For example, if it fell into the sea or was soaked in soda, then the residue left over after the liquid dries will damage the phone.
In these cases, your only option is an alcohol bath, but using alcohol can cause damage to your screen. It’s not an ideal case, but at least you might end up with a phone that turns on. Hopefully, some of these tips can get your phone dry and working again. Enjoy!
