Hair dryer or rice: is it possible to save a “drowned” smartphone
Despite the fact that many companies are now creating smartphones that are waterproof, their regular use reduces the moisture resistance, writes Nation News.
Minor damage, scratches and cracks allow liquids to get inside the phone more easily, and water can seriously damage your smartphone and affect its performance.
One of the most popular tips is to dry a wet phone with a hairdryer. However, this can be detrimental to your gadget, as the hot air currents can blow out the water even deeper. High temperatures can damage the plastic case as well as heat up the phone, which will not have a positive effect on its further functioning.
Rice or silica gel can really draw moisture out of the phone if you put the device in them for a day.
Still, it is best to take the phone to a service center and trust the specialists.
