America, we will not open, and you probably already heard somewhere about this method - wet to dry iPhone with rice. The idea is based on the fact that the rice grains absorb moisture well. If this method seems to you a fairy tale, I can assure you - it really works. But before the headlong thrust smartphone pack grains, prepare it.
So if the iPhone dropped in a puddle, pond, bathroom or - God forbid - in the toilet bowl, act decisively and quickly. Every second counts.
1. As soon as possible, remove the unit from the water.
2. If the device does not turn itself off, turn it off by holding the power button. Do not turn on the device or connect it to your computer or electrical outlet. Moisture and electricity - a devastating combination for the technology.
3. If the iPhone was in the bag, remove it. This will help to dry the device faster.
4. Remove the SIM card: it will increase its chances of remaining intact.
5. Put the iPhone on a flat surface and wipe it, focusing on the buttons, headphone jack and USB-cable. Try less move the device to prevent water from spreading under the body. For the same reason, do not purge connectors. Also, do not use a hair dryer: heat can damage the chip.
6. Find a sealable plastic bag and fill it with dry rice (you can use any raw and without additives). Wrap in paper towel iPhone to starch did not get inside, put the device in a bag and close it. Be smart in rice for 48 hours.
After two days, when the iPhone will be completely dry, try to turn it on. If it does not, then the miracle happened. We'll have to show a smartphone repair technicians.
No matter how trivial did not seem that way, he's worth it to try. In any case, if the smartphone will visit in the water, there is no service center will not be free to take on repairs. So why not rely on good old-fashioned rice, before taking the iPhone in road service?
