Phone Fell in Water? What to Do in the First Hour

1. Switch it off immediately

Do not try to see if it still works. Power running through a wet board causes the real damage.

2. Do not charge it

Charging a wet phone can short the board. Leave it unplugged.

3. Remove the case, SIM and memory card

Take off anything removable and wipe the outside gently with a dry cloth.

4. Skip the rice myth

Rice does not pull moisture out of a phone and the dust can get inside. Keep the phone upright in a dry, airy place.

5. Do not use a hairdryer or heater

Heat can damage the battery and push moisture deeper.

6. Bring it to a technician quickly

Corrosion starts within hours. At Savji Mobiles in Kalyan, we open the phone, clean the board, check for corrosion and repair what can be saved. The earlier it reaches us, the better the chances. Your initial diagnosis is free.
