How to fix a water damaged phone.

ALoveHinaFan asked:

I dropped my phone in water with minor water damage and fixed it by wrapping it up with a black t-shirt and letting it sit in the sun for 30 minutes through a window. After that I just unwrapped it, I put the battery back in as well as the sim-card and whala, it worked again. I can’t guarantee that this will work 100%, but i’m sure it will fix a lot of phones that have been water damaged the fastest way possible. 1st) Clean the phone with a towel/shirt from any visable water as well as the battery, and sim card. 2nd) Take everything out, battery, sim card, and face plate (if possible) 3rd) Wrap it in a clean towel/shirt. 4th) Let it sit in the sun for 30 minutes with the battery. (through a window if you want to be like me) 5) Check on it after 30 minutes, if it was a hot day and the shirt/towel is very hot, then take it away to a cooler area. If it is just mediocre hot, then leave it there for another 5 minutes then take it away to a cooler area. 6) Put everything back together in the phone. 7) Turn it on. 8) If it works, leave a comment, any other details on what you did differently. IF it didn’t try again. I hope this helps alot of people in some way that are worried that their phone have to be sent back to repair or need a quick fix. Notice: I’m not responsible for the damages to your phone that can be caused if you follow this guide wrong. Don’t overheat your phone and if you want to be extra safe, do a 5 minute routine where you have it in the sun for 5 minutes and
