How to save a wet phone

Hello, today i wish to share with you on how to save a wet phone, what to do, and what should not be done, i will state them below.

TO DO:

1. Firstly, retrieve your handset from the drink right away. A prolonged plunge will increase the risk
    of damage.

2. Don't check if it still works or press any buttons, since putting pressure on the keys could shift
    liquid farther into the device.

3. In all cases, the best thing to do is immediately pull out the battery instead of powering it off, thus
    minimizing power to the device that may cause it to short circuit.

4. If you own a handset with a nonreplaceable battery, like an iPhone or Nokia Lumia, then pulling
    the battery isn't an option. You'll have to risk pressing a few buttons to check if it's still on and to
    swiftly turn it off if it is. Take care when handling the phone in this case.

5. Remove any peripherals and attachments on your phone, such as cases.

6. Extract the SIM card and any SD cards it carries, leaving ports or covers on your handset open to
    aid ventilation.

7. Dry off everything with a towel, including the exterior of your handset, being careful not to let any
    water drain into openings on the phone.

8. Even when everything's dry, it's very likely there's latent moisture within the device that you'll
    want to get out before turning it on. The most oft-reported fix for a sodden phone is to bury the
    handset in a bowl of dry(uncooked) rice. You can also use silica gel packs -- the kind used in shoe
    boxes -- to greater effect. Place your phone in an airtight container and completely cover it with
    your choice of desiccant. Leave the container for 24 to 48 hours for the material to draw all the
    moisture out of your handset.

9. When you're confident it's dried out, replace the battery and try switching it on. Good luck!

NOT TO DO:

1. No hairdryer, or applying heat to the device in other ways..

2. No freezer, or stick your phone in a freezer, wrapped in paper towel to prevent frost damage.
    Supposedly, the reduced conductivity of water when close to freezing temperatures will stop your
    phone from short circuiting when in use. But when the ice melted, your phone will end up just the
    same way.

BEWARE CORROSION:
If you succeed in reviving your phone, then congratulations! But you may not have yet won the war with the Grim Reaper of gadgetry. The metal within your phone coming into contact with water and oxygen may create rust that will corrode or rust over time.
