Dropping your mobile phone in the water

.

Hope that either you haven't had time to use the toilet yet or that you've had time to flush. ?
The absolute worst thing for a phone is saliva. A mate at work let his baby
"play" with the phone and it became full of saliva. Could not be saved in any way. Apparently saliva conducts electricity better than water or leaves deposits.

I'm glad it worked out. Rice is useful for many things and I know others have tried this.
In the case of a computer hard drive, it can be left in the freezer to recover. We have tried this a couple of times with an old computer and then all the content on it could be saved and a new hard drive inserted.
Let's hope it stays in check.
And maybe it shouldn't go to the toilet next time....

Yes, Jacob has had his mobile phone in the toilet and luckily, before he did anything. It was dried with a hairdryer and then worked.
Haha how I laughed at Marie's mobile phone going to the post office.

What luck, I hope it works!
The worst thing is what you have stored!

Many of us have had our phones in our back pockets, but we have also learnt little from it!

My husband did the same thing and unfortunately the rice trick did not work that time... I think it took too long before we got to the rice! Wonderful that you got it started, you have your whole life on your mobile phone, it feels like!

Dropping the iPhone on a stone floor is my contribution. The glass cracked, but it works.

I haven't lost or made a mistake with my mobile phone, camera or laptop.
However, I have poured a glass of beer over my husband's second best laptop once, when we were camping in the caravan.
It failed at first, but when it dried, it worked without fail!
My mobile phone is so important to me, my only phone, like...

Don't think mobiles are so fond of bathing haha.

Enjoy!

Stuff.

Never dropped it in the water but dropped it on the stone floor when I was shopping. The glass shattered and had to replace the glass. What was less fun was that I had only had the phone for 5 days before it fell ...

When I was in Borneo, we went down to the beach to do some snorkelling, even though the weather was like that. After a while, I don't really know if it's about half an hour or an hour, it started to look darker and darker in the sky. The others chose to go back to our accommodation but I wanted to stay a while longer anyway. I moved my bags to under a fallen palm tree, thinking that they are safe there. The camera and all electronics were in a dry bag so it wasn't that unbelievable anyway. But then suddenly I remember that my phone is in the regular bag! I hurry up to the beach, grab my bags and head back. Once in the room, I take out my mobile phone and hope for the best, but no, it is soaking wet and refuses to start! Completely dead. Unfortunately, I had no rice and we were on an island without a shop or anything. Picked out the battery and everything and let it lie on the bed and dry. The next day I try to start it and it works! Absolutely overjoyed! Until I realise that it's not accepting a charge. A few days later, I realise that I need to buy a new mobile phone and when we are in Kota Kinabalu, I check out the selection. But deep down, I don't want to spend any money on a new mobile phone, so I procrastinate until my last night there. Then I think I'll try one last time and borrow a charger from a friend. And quite miraculously, it accepts charging! There was no new phone that time, thank goodness.

I can imagine that it is easy to drop your mobile phone in the water when you live on a houseboat! Although now it was in the toilet, but still. Funny with neighbourly cooperation if someone ordered a diver to fish out possessions that have fallen down. I wonder why rice should serve as a dryer? It seems spontaneously as if it would be more effective with a hair dryer or placement on a radiator. I remember that we used those methods when necessary, but I don't remember why or how it happened. So it doesn't happen very often. Have a good day!

Haha, I have actually (so far) never dropped a mobile phone in the toilet, but I have dropped it on the ground a few times.

However, my computer has tasted coffee a few times, which it strangely did not like. But even there it is important to switch off/unplug the cord asap.

But one question - how have you managed to take the battery out of an iphone?
