How to save your water damaged electronics:

Step one;
Don’t push any buttons! (To not let water seep deeper into the appliance).
Take out the battery.
Step two;
Remove face plates, battey cover and all other reasonably removable pieces.
Step three;
Submerge all pieces in a bag of rice battery too! Leave it in there for 3 days to one week.
I know its a long time to live without your device but be patient it really works!
How it works;
The rice absorbs moisture!
I took my razer cell phone swimming in the deep in and it was at the bottom of the pool for minutes! I followed these steps and my phone was back in action! I ened up getting a new battery when I could afford it but it was cheaper than having to purchase a new phone!

Yea the rice works, at least it worked for my phone. i had jumped in the pool and forgot it was in my pocket. So I immediately took out the battery and went online to seek answers on how to salvage a soaked phone and I found a site that said to make sure to not try to turn it on or push any other buttions because that will alow water to travel into places that it was not already in. Next, take out the battery, I had already done that step but unfortunately I had already pushed buttions. Then, it said to leave the phone (with the back off of it and faceplate off) in the rice to pull the moisture out of it. I also put my battery in there separetly and low and behold It worked! my razr was restored!!

My parents just had a plumbing fiasco that started in the third floor bathtub. Some of my dad’s electronic and video equipment has gotten wet, but how much so is unclear right now. I emailed both him and my mom this info in hopes they’ll follow your advice.

Thanks so much.

i put my ipod nano in the wash and my mom pulled it out and it got destroyed by watter so we put it in my desk for two weekes instead of saving $170.00 to buy a new one. so after two weeks we put the charing cord in the computer and it rebuted. me and my mom were so happy

My iPod Shuffle accidentally went through the washing machine as well as the dryer. It will not turn on, and my computer could not read it when plugged in. I may just be unlucky. =[
