Many people think of using a hair dryer to dry their phones, based on the idea of using a hair dryer to dry their hair. However, the base and components used inside the phone are very sensitive to heat, so drying the phone with a hair dryer's hot air may cause damage to the base.
After picking up the device, you will want to shake it to see if water has gotten inside device. And don't you think of shaking the phone to let the water blow away?
However, this is not the way to do it. Shaking the device may cause the water inside the device to move to the base of the device that is not flooded. Thereby, there is a risk of causing further serious damage.
Put the device in a ziplock and put silica gel in it.
When searching the Internet for ways to deal with this problem, this silica gel method is often found. First, remove the cover and wipe off the moisture thoroughly.
Put the phone in a bag, insert silica gel into the bag, and use a straw or something to release the air inside. At this time, be sure to turn off the power. It is better to put more silica gel in the bag.
This is a nice idea, as the silica gel absorbs moisture and dries out the phone when it is left in the bag for several days. Be careful never to get silica gel wet, as it generates heat itself when wet.
As a substitute for silica gel, commercially available "moisture removers" such as Mizutorizosan and, surprisingly, rice can take the place of silica gel in removing moisture. Many people have revived it by burying it in a rice bin.
