How to save your phone after drowning?

You need to diagnose your device before you know what needs to be fixed. Mr Fix Cell Phone & Computer Repair provides a free diagnostic that can define a problem and then fix it. Water can damage any important element, so we will tell you about all possible situations. Situations such as being caught in the rain or talking during a snowfall are not dangerous for the smartphone. You should beware of its complete drowning. Most often this happens on vacation or in the bathroom. It is worth noting that sea salt water is several times more dangerous for the Galaxy and its microcircuits, as it begins to corrode its paths. After such a bath, the device can quickly become unusable. When you try to charge a phone that has recently been submerged in water, you’ll see a notification on its screen: moisture detected. This was triggered by moisture sensors located in the charging socket. Then you need to disassemble the phone and let it dry for a few days. Moisture gets into the phone very quickly but it takes a very long time to dry. After the phone has dried, you should definitely return it for repair to prevent more dangerous damage. Don’t dry the phone on batteries or with a hairdryer, and don’t put your device on batteries. It will only make it worse for your phone. You should know the most dangerous situations that can happen with your device:

• Spilling tea or coffee. Be careful when drinking something and keep your phone close at hand. It can be spilled easily;

• Heavy heavy rain or hail. It can be compared to a water spill;

• Going to the bathroom with the phone;

• Temperature difference or condensed liquid (condensation).
