Dry Your Wet Water Damaged Phone ● I Found The Fastest Way ( Rice is the Worst ! )

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

There are 5 ways to dry a water damaged iphone, drone or camera. Let me show you how your phone can be bone dry within hours of getting it wet. I proved which is the best for totally drying your wet phone. You may think rice is best but it's not. I tested 5 methods by precisely weighing wet and dry phones to see which one is actually the best and fastest way to dry a soaking wet water damaged phone or device. No one wants to go more than a few hours without their phone. Here is the fastest way to dry a soaking wet water damaged phone in the shortest time possible.

    Chris! You are a genius! I had watched numerous videos and google searched commentary on how to revive my somewhat water logged cell phone which had gone into catastrophic failure while taking a no start-up possibly terminal nap. I had managed to drop my phone into the toilet...rather quickly retrieving it as it meandered towards the bottom...definitely fully submersed. In total denial of my stupid move I cleaned up the phones exterior...it was still momentarily operational and I thought I had dodged a bullet...but not so fast. The next morning it was in total fail mode..no life whatsoever. Hence my search for a revival answer as thoughts of $500 plus outlay for a new phone wafted through my consciousness. Your sock idea was pure genius...I decided that a little bit more warmth might be in order but not too much and plenty of easy, warming air...so I used a hair dryer set on low speed and low temp . I did this for three hours all the while rotating the phone within the sock. Low and behold this worked perfectly...phone immediately restarted and has never been better! I am now a fully subscribed follower and will look forward to future pearls of wisdom...thanks again.

    Another triumph for Chris' methodology!! My S21Ultra went through a full wash cycle, then 5 minutes in the dryer. Everything still worked perfectly, but the camera had hishly visible bubbles over the lenses and only showed dim poor resolution pictures. With only 2 hours on the shop vac exhaust in a sock, all bubbles were gone and the photos were back to original quality. Just fantastic! I was skeptical of most KZread methods I saw, but Chris has a totally pragmatic and systematic approach to finding the right solution -- and he did it. Great job, Chris!

    Hey Chris, thanks so much for this. I did all the things you're not supposed to do after dropping your phone in water like continuing to use it without drying it off, making calls, taking pictures and trying to charge it before not turning it off first. It was only when I tried to reboot that it got stuck in the infinite boot loop spiral of death....😱or so it felt. After a day of rice drying and no joy, I found your post. So, I gave it a try using the vacuum first to suck out the water inside. Then, I used a hair drier on low and 'cool' setting for two hours. I know some say don't use a hair dryer, but this never got hot since it has a cool air setting. After that, I was afraid to turn it on thinking too much damage had already been done. But then it booted up and started working!!! Thank you so much! I'm not sure rice could have ever worked in this case.😁👍👍👊

    I went canyoning with some friends last weekend and thought that a waterproof case from Amazon would keep my phone safe. A knock on rock while climbing a waterfall blew the case open and I ended up with a water logged phone not that different from the video here. I took inspiration from the solution proposed at the end and resolved the issue using a sock and a hairdryer. Would never have thought about it had I not seen this video. It got a bit stressful this morning because my phone kept on restarting on it's own and it wasn't able to detect my sim card either. Thank you very much for making this video. I hope others in a similar predicament will find this link in their moment of need.

    I used a hair dryer on low heat. I first opened up the phone, There wasn't any visible water, but it was dropped into a sink of water for a couple seconds and started acting up.. I couldn't turn it off, So I disconnected the battery inside. (Iphone 6s) I hair dried it for a bit. Then I saw your video. I put it in a pillow case bungee corded the nozzel and ran it for a couple hours. It worked, Thank you! This is a good education in Electronics, PC boards can actually be submerged in water, as long as after its completely dry everywhere in the sockets and such, completely desicated, you can plug it in and it should work. PS it can take some heat. It is soldered at pretty high temperatures. You just have to not melt the thing especially the battery.,

    Great idea! but as a professional mobile phone technician i can confirm that the best and quickest way to clean water out is by dismantling the phone, using a hairdryer to dry the water out and then using isopropyl alcohol to clean the components as water leaves mineral deposits which can corrode the motherboard and ruin the device.

  • @chrisnotap

    Yes but this is a really fast way without dismantling. It took me 6 weeks to test all of these methods and that one with the vacuum was hands down the fastest and totally dried it. Everything was weighed before and after to prove it. Plus I let it take in as much water as it could each time. Worst case scenario. Thanks.

    It's interesting to base it on the weight of the phone with the water inside. The silica being slower is interesting because I heard silica drew humidity out more/faster than rice did. It happened twice to my older phone that it got little water in it (first, by wet hand 2 years ago, then due to some rain), the screen went black, the touch sensor was still perfect (could "blindly" turn the flashlight on, the "I'm here" function could be stopped with a tap etc.). The rice seemed to help as it might have had not a lot of water in it. Also used hair dryer in cold mode. The screen came back after a night spent in rice. In my opinion, it could be still okay for small water inside overnight and fan + vacuum for when you are awake.

    This actually worked really well. I had to give you props and a thumbs up because it saved my phone. I was all ready to upgrade yesterday but the darn stores system went down as I was upgrading my phone. I put it in silica beads yesterday immediately after sucking out the water with a vacuum. Obviously I turned the phone off and took out Sim card immediately. Unfortunately I didn't see your video until today when I got home from work but I did the vacuum trick and now I've been using my phone for a few hours and it works great. I love this phone. I've had it for several years and I don't want to upgrade yet because it's an awesome phone. It's old but the battery still lasts all day with heavy use and I only charge it when I go to bed. Anyway I really appreciate it and I hope it continues to work for me. If it dies I'll update this
