My mobile was badly water damaged this morning, went deed instantly. Asked the daughter for some advice by e-mail, she advised to put it in a bag of rice for 3 days thought, dinnae fancy that, no wastin my Pilau Rice on a mobile. Anyway,had visions of having to buy a new device, until sourcing this video on youtube. Sorted in a couple of minutes, worked a treat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

macintosh Posted July 13, 2015 Author Share Posted July 13, 2015 I'm just glad your phone didn't dy son. My wife's phone got water damaged a while ago and she used rice,worked a treat. The lassies determined to get it in rice Tommy, told her it was up working & charging now but she said I might still have to put it in rice or may have problems in future. The boy on the video swears by this method though, says he`s dropped his in the drink 6 times & the (J.Edgar) is the way to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually used the rice method (just overnight,not for three days !) almost a year ago and my phone's been fine since,bud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macintosh Posted July 13, 2015 Author Share Posted July 13, 2015 Good to know how to deal with these type mishaps when they come along Tommy. First time its happened to me so was at a loss how to deal with it initially. The video was a good find however, problem sorted in 3-4 minutes.

garrellburn Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 It won't work if you drop it into salt water, the salt corrodes the circuits in no time at all. I've retrieved a couple of them in Malta (I'm a scuba diver) and although they were only briefly underwater they did not recover although washed in fresh water almost immediately. Maybe curry sauce instead of rice would have done the trick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deanburn Dave Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 The boy in the video has dropped his phone in water 6 times, let's hope he never takes up goalkeeping........unless it's at Lithgae Rose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
