I spilled gatorade on my new phone HELP!?
The worst thing you can do when you spill liquid on an electrical item is to turn it on. Since you have done that already you may have damaged some parts. But you may be lucky. You need to clean it inside. Gatorade is a sugary drink. It will have left sticky deposits every where. This is why your buttons are not working properly and some contacts are intermittent. I have one suggestion that you can try yourself, It not a guarantee but it wont make it worse. If you really don't want to buy a new phone or pay a cleaning bill(if they could clean it) One thing for sure is that your phone will not get any better if you leave it. The longer you leave it the harder the deposits will become. Ideally you should take the phone apart as much as you can, even if it means removing the tiny screws. I would get a bowl of warm water with some detergent, not too much, just enough to take away the surface tension in the water. Remove the back cover, the battery, SIM and memory card if it has one.Immerse the phone and slosh it about in the water for quite a while. Don't wash the battery, just wipe it and clean the brass contacts individually. When you ave finished stand the phone on it's end and let it drain. Then place it in a warm place or on top of a radiator using a folded tea cloth to insulate from the hot surface. Let it dry for several hours and hopefully it will be better. I have washed a phone accidentally in my jeans on full wash cycle. It worked fine after I had let it dry out. You may want to check about a professional clean first though. Good luck.
My phone got wet and touch is not working. What should I do?
Below are some of the tips you should follow when your phone gets wet.Switch the phone off. Once you take out the phone, switch it off. This is very important to prevent short circuits within the phone body. Remove the batteries carefully and let it dry.Remove the SD Cardand the SIM Card.Lightly Dry Off Your Water Damaged Phone and Accessories. Use a completely dry cloth to lightly dab the wet phone and all the components you took out. Do not wipe. This will just cause the water to spread around. Also, don’t use a hair dryer to dry the phone. This may damage the internal components.Put Your Water Damaged Cell Phone in Rice for Three Days. The rice will absorb the liquid from the phone and will also dry it more quickly. Just make sure to use dry rice and feel free to put it in to a Ziploc bag or container.Once you’ve waited three days for your phone to dry put it back together and try to turn it on. If it doesn’t work then try replacing the battery. If that doesn’t work take it to the store and see if there is anything else you can do.
IPHONE IN VINEGAR!! HELP!?
So last night my friend accidentally put my phone in a bowl of vinegar (don't ask) it was only for a few seconds and wasn't the whole phone just the bottom part with the speaker, head phone jack, microphone and charging thing. I have an iPhone 5c. Anyways we took it out immediately and the sound was all muffled and my friend tried to charge it and it worked. So we put it in rice overnight and it works perfectly fine now but I'm worried damage could still be done being it was vinegar, not water. So what can I do to prevent further damage? Will me phone be okay? I don't have the money for a new one..
