Hi guys, well summer is just around the corner and we will be taking our phones & cameras to the beach, lakes or just out on the farm near water troughs & creeks. Bugger, your phone or camera slides out of your pocket straight into the water & floats for a second then you see it gently sinking to the bottom, you reach in & grab it but too late, water is seeping from all gaps & the screen is off but the lights are still on.
We may have a solution to help you get it going again. If you drop your phone or camera in salt water, leave it in salt water until you get home by finding a plastic bag & filling with salt water & putting your phone in it. When you get home, put it in fresh water & rinse it really well. Once it’s in fresh water, try to do the following ASAP.
When you get home, take the battery, sim, memory card & anything else that will come off or out of your device. Now put two cups of rice, yep just normal uncooked rice in a zip top plastic bag & put all the bits into the bag & zip it closed. You will need to leave it for 24 – 72 hours to draw all the moisture from the phone or camera. Now remove all the bits from the rice, Give it a good shake & put it back together & switch it back on. I hope this is useful. Cheers & have a great week. Grant
