Uh Oh! I Dropped My Mobile Phone In The Bathtub? What Do I Do? by Doug Abney

If you drop your mobile device into water, there is a good chance you can save it, even if you think it is dead. But you must act quickly! First, obviously dry the outside of the phone with a towel. Do not try to turn it on to see if it works! Doing so will short circuit it! Take all removable parts off (battery, sim card, etc.) Thoroughly dry the inside of the phone with a blow dryer set to low speed. Alternatively, you can also use a shop vac to suck out as much water as possible. Put the phone back together, but do NOT be tempted to turn it on to see if it works yet! It won't. Put the phone into a ziplock freezer bag full of uncooked rice! (Rice will draw out the remaining moisture). Leave it in the bag sealed for atleast 3 days. Then take it out, turn it on, and chances are good you will have a working phone again! And if not, well, atleast you tried.
