best way to dry a phone

[*Danny*]

ideas on how to dry my phone dropped it in a puddle and now the screens all blurry ... dont want to break it even more by melting it on anything to hot

 

[f0xy]

nokias are crap. scrap it. get something else.

or matts heatgun.

 

[Peperami]

Put it in airing cupboard and let it dry out naturally mate... but seeing as its warm, guessing you wont have heating on!

Could try hairdryer for a bit, low heat?

 

[guysy]

tumble dryer...

Nah, if you want to dry i out i would suggest a towel over a radiator with the phone ontop of the towel.

Dont put it anywhere humid like a cupboard.

 

[*Danny*]

thnx for the advise will try it over night

wash it in mineral free water then let it dry slowly.. the crap/minerals in the puddle water will corode the PCB and IC's in the phone possibly causing more damage.

Airing cupboard....theboiler will be on to heat your water not just for heating, the dry air inside will help.

As above. Airing cupboard is always the best place to dry things. Take it apart as much as you can.

..and leave it for ages. Could take over a week to be fully functioning again, if it does become fully functioning.

I find the oven at about Gas mark 4 is quite effective.

 

[biojo]

40 watt bulb about 6-12" away

or just leave for quite some time

My lass dropped an N70 down the bog.

I thought it was on purpose.

Never worked again.

N95 8gb V20 is the best phone I've ever had bar none. I'd weep for a thousand years if I dropped that down the khazi.

hairdryer

worked about ten times on my 6111 then i dropped it & it died.

 

[MillerLight]

I’ve dropped mine in the urinal a few times. Once I rinsed it under the tap I put it in the airing cupboard for a few days and it blinked back to life.

 

[Beef-Mc]

Lol at that vid, its just like Alien!

 

[Marky_]

Open it up and leave it for a few weeks.

 

[guysy]

WTF, That video is mad.. Looks like The incredible Hulk trying to escape from the phone.
