Mobile Water First Aid Handbook: Popcorn Has Magical Usage

Everyone in life will inevitably encounter the situation of mobile phone water. There have been many ways to teach the news of the gossip, such as immediately shutting down and drying with a hair dryer, but the actual results are not satisfactory. Today is like everyone recommend a first aid method for mobile phone water:

The first step: cut off the power Once the phone falls into the water or into the water, immediately disconnect the power. Because the damage of the mobile phone is often not caused by the water itself, but because of water-induced short circuit of internal components, and even further lead to component burnout or battery explosion. Once you can't immediately turn off the phone's power, if your phone's battery is removable, remove the battery as soon as possible. During the operation, be careful and avoid as much moisture as possible into the phone. After the phone power is turned off, do not rush to open the phone to check if it is still available. Please place the phone under a slight heat source such as a desk lamp or spotlight to let the water slowly dissipate.

Step 2: Unpack the machine Please remove all removable parts of the phone as much as possible, such as back cover, SD card, SIM card, and headphone jack. The more you can remove, the better, so that the moisture inside the phone can be dispersed as much as possible. In addition, be careful when disassembling so as not to damage the accessories.

Step 3: Use the tool to dry the moisture in the interface. If you have a vacuum cleaner, it is ideal. With a narrow nozzle, suck at each port for at least five minutes to remove as much moisture as possible.

Some time ago, I accidentally dropped the phone into a bowl full of soup. I was extremely depressed at the time, but there was no way, and there was no vacuum cleaner at hand, so I had to use my mouth to suck the soup out of the headphone jack, microphone port, and other interfaces. Fortunately, the last cell phone is not serious.

Step 4: Dry Moisture Some friends may have seen this method on many websites: put the phone in a bowl of dried raw rice. Of course, this method is very effective, but the following method I want to introduce to my friends works better: I use popcorn! Compared to raw rice, they absorb liquid faster and more fully. Just find a box and pour in popcorn or cereal, and then throw the phone in there for 48 hours, flipping it from time to time.

Step 5: Try to boot the phone for 48 hours and remove the phone from the popcorn. If you can still see water vapor (for example, there is still mist on the screen), put it back and wait for more time; if it looks like it is already dry, replace the battery and try to open the phone. Of course, if your luck is good, your love machine can be restarted and run normally.

Untested methods It was suggested that the phone be completely soaked in rubbing alcohol. Ensure that the purity of alcohol is above 90% because alcohol is non-corrosive and evaporates faster than water. However, because many cell phones and tablets are covered with oil-resistant coatings, alcohol quickly erodes these coatings. So it's best not to use this method.

We also heard suggestions that put the phone in a silica gel desiccant, and the silica gel desiccant would be in our usual snacks. However, the problem is that the commonly used silica gel desiccant generally has a moisture absorption and drying ability almost reaching a saturation point after the snack is opened. How is this situation used to dry the phone?

In addition, Bheestie bags (bags filled with absorbent balls) are also on the market. However, this requires you to buy in advance. No one will normally prepare this item at home. It is said that this method of drying the phone is seven times faster than the normal method. However, we have not tested this method yet. I don't know if it's really better than my popcorn, haha.

Do note:

Do not use a hairdryer, oven or toaster. Because these tools are overheated, they can cause some components in the phone to melt. If you use a hair dryer, please choose a cold windshield, preferably, a vacuum cleaner.

Never use a microwave oven, otherwise you will regret it! ! !

Don't throw your phone away. On the surface this may seem like a good idea, but it actually has a lot of hidden dangers. Because the initial moisture may be only in the surface layer of the mobile phone, the moisture will likely enter deeper without stopping. So do not do this, use a towel to dry the above is the method and precautions we introduce, mobile phone friends accidentally into the water can try it.
