- A short video on how to save your cell phone if it has been subjected to water damage. I have used this little life hack many times over the years on many different cell phones with good success.
How to Save Your Water Damaged Cell Phone with Rice.
1. Make sure NOT to power on your cell phone
2. If your cell phone has a case, be sure to remove it
3. In a glass bowl or Tupperware container, add rice
4. Submerge the phone in the rice fully and make sure the lid is sealed
5. Let the phone sit in the container for 24-48 hours
6. Test cell phone
If you still get a water damage indicator on your cell phone, try placing the phone near a mild heat source like near the back of your computer or TV screen. NEVER use a hair dryer on your phone as the heat is too much and can cause more moisture and steam to occur within the cell phone.
I hope you found this rice trick for cell phone video helpful. Again, it has helped my save many of cell phone from water damage over the years. Sometimes my phones have fell into pools, toilets or bathtubs and it's never fun worrying that you will need to buy a new phone.
This worked! I dropped my phone in water and the charger and the sound was not working and I did this! Thank you so much!!!
Awesome! Happy to hear it
before i could do this. Does android will work for it? Cause it got wet is not like usual wet all over it. It got screen wet inside and does it work for Android mobile@@JMGENTERPRISES
Yesterday, I used my Google Pixel 7 Pro in the swimming pool for about 10 minutes. Suddenly, a warning appeared on the screen, and I realized that the SIM slot was not in the phone at all, allowing a lot of water to enter. I immediately turned it off. I left the phone as it was, but there is still water inside. After watching your video, which had many positive comments, I decided to follow your advice and placed my phone in a box as you suggested. I hope it gets fixed. I will keep it in the box for 60 hours and see what happens afterward.
Sorry to hear about the swimming pool incident! Best of luck! Let me know how it goes! 60 hours should be more than enough!
I dropped my mobile in water but immediately picked it up after 2 or 3 sec. Luckily, it was working but volume button was messing up. I removed cover and screen protector and placed in rice for 12 hours. It was working perfectly even speaker and mic. Just want to tell you guys do not loose hope!
Glad to hear you saved it!
I ate the rice
My phone did that too not to long ago so do you think I still need to put it in rice?
@@Enzo8mmSA🤣🤣🤣😂
Hi, did the camera work again?
Yesterday I hiked in the rain and did not realize my phone got wet and last night I tinkered with it when it was not charging, then froze, etc. and this morning I realized it may be from getting wet.... found you here and I am trying the rice method. Thank you so much for your video and your replies to people here.
Sorry to hear that happened. Best of luck. Let me know how it goes!
Tell us how it worked if you took it out
(it has been a month now, I guess that should be enough)
Kaisa chal rha hai bhai phone, theek hua ya nhi
Looks like it didn't work
it has been an year now, hope it works
Thank you!!! This rescued my phone! I had important info on it so I waited extra long, left it in the rice over a week bc it was more humid than usual & just to be careful. The phone recovered! It completely dried out, nothing fried, & it's been working since!
Glad I could help and happy it worked well for your phone!
Great news! Glas it turned out okay.
Hello, I have a Galaxy Note 20. I put it in the water to take a picture. Unfortunately, the phone turned off and no longer works. Should I leave it in rice for an hour or a day
Thank you so much I thought I lost my phone forever I’m so grateful and will never be this irresponsible with my phone ever again thank you I could never be anymore thankful
Glad it helped!
Thank you mannnn.. I left it in for about 1 hour? In a buc(et of rice and it worked my volume is working thanks May god bless u
Glad it helped!
I dropped mine & it was still powered on but got the error message when I tried to charge it. I did the rice method exactly as you said & 24 hours later its works. THANK YOU for sharing!!
Happy to hear it saved your phone! Thanks for letting me known😊
Thank you sooooo much! I didnt want to lose my 7 years old phone and this video helped me!!!
Happy I was able to help ☺
I never in my life thought I would be here watching this video, I left my phone accidently in the freezer- don't ask why it should have never happened. I am going to try this method. If this works, I will give an update and sing praises so high because I also have the same model as you.
How did it go!?
@@JMGENTERPRISES sorry forgot to update!
So what I had done since I didn't have rice was put the corner piece of a towel in the charging part (just in case) and wrapped it around my phone, then put it somewhere away from cool air/AC to remove the cold temperature my phone had been exposed to for a few hours. I let a 8-9 hours pass to be safe for excess water from the freezer that may have turned into vapor or frozen particles on my get sucked up and removed by the towel.
I hit the power button on my phone after that and miraculously, it turned back on like nothing happened. As of 2 months passing from when this happen (I am writing this comment via my phone right now), my phone still works perfectly fine. No signs of life loss, short-circuiting, slowly, component damage, anything that would accelerate the need for me to get a new phone!
Although I didn't do your method exactly, it still gave me an idea to try out and hope that my phone just got stalled and needed time to recover safely before powering back on. Thank you for the video- I appreciate it, it was helpful and gave me hope that my phone can still work. For anyone reading this, don't give up or lose hope, you have to try!
TLDR: thawed out my phone with a towel for 8-9 hours, turned it on and still works normal!
In a huge germophobe so before phones had decent water resistance I used rice a lot and it worked every single time. Haven't had the neeed for it because of water resistance in newer phones, but a few weeks back I dropped my expensive Sony so it's a hole in the back=water eventually got in and my microphone didn't work. Did the rice trick and it works again. I've done this trick probably 20 times with different phones, it always works. I don't care when others say that it's bs. I've seen it work so many times.
Glad to hear you've always had success! I too have used it many times over the years! Glad they are finally making phone water resistant 😃
do you leave it for 24 hours or longer?
This method really does work. I did this with a phone back in the 90s and it worked. I also used it recently on the Motorola Razr. It takes longer with the new phones because they are so tightly sealed. Be patient, it may take more than 24 hours. It may take a few days or a week. I just slide the phone down inside the bag of rice and tape it back up. Good Luck!
Glad you have had success with it too!!
With this logic the essential oils worked in treating my flu because it went away in 2 weeks
It works!!! I dropped my phone into a water-filled basin, and it was still functioning initially. However, the short circuit did occurred which meant the screen of my phone turn green and black instead of my original wall paper. Then, I faster switched it off, and put it into the uncooked-rice container for 24 hours. I did used air-dryer(only air mode/little hot mode) to dry the phone twice in the middle when I took it out and dry for 20 minutes. Luckily it works!!! My phone still functioning well until today.
Happy to hear you were able to save your phone!
I am so happy for you!!!
@@esterlinasalvaleon5681 - Me too!
@@JMGENTERPRISES my phone is literally blue an green u can see the water but it still turn on an works is there any hope here ???
My phone fall into the bathroom and I put it In the rice lets hope the phone is steal alive i have so many important things on my phone if it's not gonna servive I'm gonna cry my life I'm not joking I literally crying about it right now I hope it will servive please god save my phone ...
I have always been sceptical of this method and have never got any of my phones wet. However, I recently got soaked at work (part and parcel of working in Dewatering) and my phone got wet too. Initially it was still working and then died.
So when I got back home (2 days later) I thought I would try this...I just checked and it actually looks like it worked. It showed signs of life after an overnight stint with rice.
I have put it back in the rice so it gets the full 24hrs treatment and hopefully it will charge up tonight. I googled for a vid to see if I had done it right, and found this one. Cheers for sharing😁👍
How did it go!?
Had my phone in the washing machine for about 10 minutes, really hope this works. Thank you for the video
You're welcome! Fingers crossed it does! Let me know!
Did it Got better ?
Did it work? Cause i did same and i have been waiting
Please tell me ig it works
Did it work?
Thank you for saving my phone. I dropped my phone in a bucket full of water for about 2 seconds, then I put it in rice overnight, and it's working now.
Yay! Glad to hear you were able to save it!
hi can iask? Did u experienced the damage on your screen before? Like a shadow?
Thank you for you're video saved my phone it took about 36 hours I'm all smiles now Thanks again
Woohoo! Happy it helped!
Q
Thank you so much for this Video! I accidentally drop my phone in Water, haven’t able to turn off immediately and my phone turns black with some green lines. I left my phone inside rice for about 1 week. Lost my hope and tried charging for few times. But it was not working. I eventually bought new phone because i thought it’s really dead. i charged my damaged iphone after 4 weeks out of curiosity and voala! It works!! And im typing this comment to proof. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Don’t loose hope!
Happy it helped! Thanks for letting me know :-)
did it leave marks on the screen or was it completely normal
@@user-qr6sl8zd4j screen is completely normal.😊
I dropped mine in the shower. i still hear it function but the screen is completely black now. I cant turn it off. Im now putting it in rice for 24 hours. I hope it works.. I hope it still being on doesnt make it worst.
@@andreaochoa5969 - Hope it fixes it for you!
Nice video, Thank you. What a nightmare, and it's like back in the day there were no cell phones. Now we get so used to them, save personal data on it, so scary to have water damage. And no money to fix it or not know how to. :(
I hear ya. We are so reliant on our phones now. When we lose or damage them it's the worst!
Generally this isn't good advice, sure it dried out, but water isn't clean! It has minerals and containment's in it that get left behind.
These need removing before you power on your phone again, you need to see where any corrosion is happening and remove it, and maybe re-solder or replace parts that the water has corroded through. You need to look for any shorts in your rails before you cycle power through it or you will blow more caps!
Basically DO NOT STICK IT IN RICE OR TRY POWER CYCLE/CHARGE IT, if its still on when it gets wet, turn it off, and get it to a repair shop and hope they can save it. Basically keep your phone away from sources of water!
(FYI your battery or screen will probably need replacing, batteries and backlights are not friends with water!)
Appreciate your input!
Did this, didn't work. Thought about giving up, did this again, worked.
Awesome to hear it!!
A lot of people said it wouldn’t work i was scared to try it and i left my phone over night for 12 hrs its back to normal thanks
Yay! Happy to hear 😊
@@JMGENTERPRISEShi, my baby dropped my phone in the bucket full of water and cleaning detergent I took it to a guy who fixes phone he opened everything dry it out but there is still water mark i asked him he said its on the screen & should change the whole screen and asked for so much money will this work if the water is only on the screen?
We tried this out two days ago and it worked , thank you so much for this❤️
Happy to hear it! Thanks for letting me know 😀
How long does it take?
@@mrmiracle9956 we left it in there for 13 hours then tried it on to see if it would turn on and it did but I kept reading that it’s best to leave it in there for a minimum of 24 hours so we put it back and left it in there until it was in there for 24 hours it came out as working perfectly still today it doesn’t glitch or anything like that.
Omg I am going to try this thanks so much for the time lol
@@JMGENTERPRISES does it work when your phone has a screen protector on?
It worked for me. I dropped my phone in bathtub. First, I quickly turned it off, dried it with hair dryer and then kept it in rice container for 2 days. It is working fine now. Thanks
Happy to hear it! Congrats!
That's long but I am willing
How is the camera on phone? No moist after you did blowered and put in in a container with rice?
Basmati rice not only it tastes great but also fix your wet phone. Basmati rice!
Yes!!!! Basmati rice has many uses! Lol
It works. I’ve saved a few of my phones this way.
Happy to hear it!
Thank you so much!I dropped it in water for like 2 seconds and it wouldn't function and so I did this for 24 hours and it works
Awesome! Glad it saved your phone!
Well after putting my boyfriend's cheap ass phone in rice at about 7pm yesterday. I took it out at 10am and plugged it in. I'll be dammed, the thing is working normally. I'm super surprised. I thought it was done for. ❤ the help is appreciated!
Yay!!! Glad to hear it!
BRO THANK YOU SO MUCH YOU SAVED ME SO MUCH MONEY😭😭😭
Great to hear it!!
I'm scared, I don't know what to do. I accidentally dropped my phone in the water and It still works perfectly fine. The only problem I'm having is the speaker. It doesn't sound as clear as last time, I can still hear the sound, but the volume's low. Is putting this in rice a good idea? I'm also scared to charge my phone because I think there's still water in it.
Even if you phone is working well after being submerged, it's best to place in rice for a minimum of 24 hours.
The comments are really helping me calm down.. I just dropped my phone in the pool like 30mins ago and I hope the rice helps… it didn’t say anything about water damage but I just put it in rice anyways just to be safe … Thank you so much for the video ✨
Fingers crossed this method works well for you too! Let me know how it goes! Try and leave it in the rice for at least 24-36 hours. I know it's tempting to remove and test it but you really do not want to operate your phone if there is moisture inside.
did it work
@@loading_michael8639 Hi Michael it did work 🤩.. Thank you so much am actually using the phone right now… I was convinced my phone was gone but I took it out of the rice in the morning and put it on the charger and it switched on… I haven’t had any problems thus far…. Thank you again ☺️ 💐✨
@@chantallem5049 haha same Yestwrday I accidentally dropped my phone into the sink that was filled with water and dishes I immediately took the phone out of it and the sound didn't work properly so I went to RUclips and searched for that one sound that gets the water our of your phone I succeed it was all good until Today Morning I woke up and my phone stopped working and it wasn't even able to charge so I took my tablet and watched this video and happily it's working again he really saved my life
@@loading_michael8639 oh Michael am so glad it worked for you too… The stress of not having one’s phone is a lot lol… I am also very grateful for this video I thought at some point I was going to pass out cos like a fool I haven’t insured my phone so had it not worked completely I would have been dead too 🤣🤣… But am glad it’s working now - this video is the best honestly …
So here we are September 24th 2023, and my bf dropped his phone in the toilet 😮 I put it in a giant tin container full of white rice when he got home from work. Second phone he's dropped in a toilet in under 30 days... Praying 🙏 this actually works because we can't afford a 3rd one.🤪🤭 Thanks for the lesson. I can't believe u replied to all of the comments.👼 ❤❤❤
I try and stay current with replying 😊 Fingers crossed it works for you! Try and leave the phone in as long as possible. You really want to make sure any moisture is gone before you power it up!
I dropped my s10 in the pool and earlier when I checked LDI indicator was normal but when I got home it was completely red. I switched off the phone around a hour later and I left it to dry for four days now but still I can see vapour from the front cam. I'm scared to put it to charge or turn on!
I would probably bring it in to a Cell phone repair place and see what they think. A lot of times those places will open your phone up free of charge to access the damage if any.

did it work
@@gingergreen9507 yes it worked for me, right after you get water on it you should turn the phone off immediately, and place it in rice or Otherwise it may not work. :)
@@foodlol7283 not to keep bothering you but how long did you keep it in rice ? i took mines out after a day and it started to bootloop and didn’t turn on i’m getting a new one saturday but i need it to transfer so i put it back in rice
@@gingergreen9507 i kept mine in the rice for 4 days, you should make sure that the case is off before you leave it any longer so all of the moisture can escape. hope this helps, and good luck with the transfer! :D
Yes we live in j we set but have a cabin up the poconos and I jumped in the lake with my phone in my pocket lol. I put it in rice and yes it does take about 24 hours maybe more. I put mine in the sun and blew dry. The rice works great
I want a cabin on a lake one day! 🙂 Happy it worked for you too!
Rice won't help dry the phone out, and possibly even makes oxidization of solder joints worse. Even using a sock or something, the powder gets inside the phone and holds moisture close to the board longer. You want to displace the water with 90+% alcohol or at least vacuum it out and put it in front of a fan. But the rice is at best a placebo and at worst damaging to the device.
Appreciate your thoughts and tips but I find the rice method to always work for me. Maybe placebo but it works!
@@JMGENTERPRISES it worls because your phone sat out
@@ck6045 lololololol ok
Some people don't know what they don't know.
if you cook your rice in the oven for a good while to dry it out ahead of time it works orders of magnitude better.
Good tip! I'll have to try that next time ⏲️ 😃
I am from India, yesterday by mistake i fell my Redmi Note7 into bucket full of water for about 19 seconds and immediately I switched the phone off. And Currently I am using the same brand Indian rice for dry my cellphone. I hope this method work for me as well. By the way, A very big thanks to you mate for helping others. Love from India.,🌻✨
Hope this helps you and you are able to get your Note7 working again!

@@Zyoran_Dust beg a bit more
How long should the mobile be kept in rice? if the phone is dropped in water for more than 1 hour?
I would personally let it sit for a full two days just to be certain.
Same the question came in my mind thank you for reply. But I can wait for 1month
fun fact you're supposed to use silica gel because rice allows the water to corrode your phone faster.
I haven't heard of that before. I will have to look into it.
And rice can get stuck in the ports
great idea. just dropped my phone in the tub this morning. turned it off and put it in a bag of rice. about 12 hours in, I saw this suggestion. I'll leave it an extra day to be sure.
thanks for the suggestion.
@@Essex121514did it ever work?
omg did it work??? im freaking out dude@@Essex121514
My phone has shadow and a white spot on screen after water damage. i leave it for an hour and turn it on and the shadow is still there but is still working. I decided to put in a sealed pocket with rice and selica gel. I dont know if will works I will go back here if works.

Hello, I have an iPod touch that I have been using for 7 years. I got it for Christmas in 2016 and I used it all the time until a few days ago, it ended up in the washing machine and it wasn't working. My mom tried putting it in a bag of rice, but after 7 or 8 hours I tried to plug it in to see if it was working, and it wasn't turning on. I then did some research and discovered that you have to put it in for at least 48 hours. So I asked my mom to put the iPod back in the rice for 48 more hours. I just tried charging it again an hour ago, and it still wasn't turning on. I also tried plugging it into my computer and it still didn't work. I don't know I'll get to use it again. I really hope I can still use it because I had a lot of important things on there, such as my photos, videos, even my old Flipaclip animations I made in 2017-2020. If I can't use it anymore, I'm literally going to cry. *PLEASE HELP ME* 😭😭😭
Honestly, I would leave it in rice for 24 hours minimum to make sure all the water is out.
Ok, so I tried putting it back in rice for 3 more days. It hasn't been turning on ever since, so I'm not sure if it will work or not.
If I put it in rice and turn it on but it went blank must i put it in longer?
Yeah I would leave it in the rice for at least 24 hours.
And did it work
@@soufiankoulfa7851 kinda :)
@@soufiankoulfa7851 the phone will be a bit laggy tho
Don’t use rice I recommend just buying a cheap screen for a broken screen
Because if you use rice there’s a problem the rice would get in ur charger port there’s a precent that it can get in there so that I recommend getting a cheap screen for a broke screen
Buying a screen and having it repaired is expensive though. If rice does get in there it's easy to get out
I'm going to try it thanks my feel on toilet but pick up fast will see. Thanks 👍
Hope it works for you too!

My son dropped his iPhone in the bath tub last night. I initially tried to dry it with a blow dryer on cool but quickly realized that may not work & thought about rice I put it in the rice for about 30min & tried to power it on it came back on but the screen was green & had lines it shut off & I put it back in the rice, it's still there I'm going to wait the 24hr mark. I really hope it works. . .
Do you think that because it was powered on at one point that there's a chance it will still work? 😩
It's best to never apply power if you know the phone has been exposed to water. I would for sure leave it in rice unpowered for 24 hours. Let me know how it turns out :-)
Random: i put my tv remote in the washer by accident. I didnt know about the rice method. But for one week my remote didnt work. And on like a week and a half or 2 weeks later it started to work. So its crazy how these modern electronics work even if they get drowned in water. That lets you know that not only is these products amazing for what they do. But they cant be destroyed by water. Its insane if you really think about it.
PS: I was about to throw my remote away. I even bought a new remote . So just know, that hand held electronics that get wet or drowned wet and stop working. Once they 100% get dry, they come back to life. And if i wanted to buy the exact same remote, it would of cost me $139.99 . So so happy i didnt throw it away. ✌️
Wow that's an expensive remote. Glad you gave it a shot!
I kept the phone inside the rice for a total of twenty four hours and the check only revealed the flash which had turned on in the Rice. However, the screen is still the same.
How long was your phone exposed to water?
Great work Thanks 👍
You bet!
I went to go swim at the beach and for like 15 min i didn't realize that my phone was in my pocket, ima try this and update daily
Best of luck! I have done the same thing before swimming and not realizing the phone is still in your pocket. No fun!
@@JMGENTERPRISESIt's an iPhone 7+, and it hasn't turned on yet. I also removed the sim card. I'm not optimistic because the beach water was filthy, and I've heard that salt water kills phones.
On day 3, I learned that the rice didn't seem to work well at drying phones and actually did more harm than good, so I'm now leaving my phone out to air dry and using a fan to speed up the process.
@@JMGENTERPRISES On day 4 it still wouldn't turn on or even charge, the technician told me to buy a new phone because that shit wasn't gonna turn on again 😔
Thanks for video, I’ve just sealed it in rice. It was only in water for a few seconds. Hope it works ! Just one thing.. I can’t switch the phone off as the touch screen not working.
Best of luck. I hope it works for you. Make sure to let it sit in the rice for at least 24-48 hours before powering it on.
Is that works for u?
@@indirak9737 no didn’t work
I know it's late, but what did you do after it isn't working??
Thank you so much this literally saved me from probably having another huge breakdown! My phone was perfectly fine but it said it had earbuds in and the speaker didn't work. I followed the video and completely submerged it in rice for 24 hours and thankfully this helped! My phones good as new. ^-^
Yay! Glad to hear it worked for you 😀
If I sit in rice will it fix me
Hahaha. Thanks for making me laugh this morning ;)
@@JMGENTERPRISES no problem
😜😂😂😂😆
I'm not saying this doesn't work but the small dust that rice is covered in can get into the phone and makes the problem worse
I hear what you're saying but I have never experienced that.

I dropped my phone into the beach but i picked it up within a second it was on for about 2 to 3 minutes then it turned off automatically, i dried out with the dryer and kept it in the jar full of rice hope this will work for me as well😭

Hard to say. Water exposure can be tricky and unpredictable. If I were you, I would for sure put it in rice for at least 24 hours. Maybe a bit longer. Try not and turn the phone on during that time.
@JMGENTERPRISES yeah I'll do that thx man and I'll let everything know too when something comes up I seen your video I'm like had too probably work I have a friend that work with pcs he sisd rice whould not do nothing and other pepole but rather do another person opinion like you

That's a long time under water 😔 Definitely do this rice method and let it sit for 24-36 hours
Hello and Happy New Year, thankyou your video gave me hope. Ive only just got myself a smart phone, so happy with it. Before I was using and Nokia from 2006 which I am now back on and my new Samsung galaxy 12 has just been on a 40 Degree wash cycle . The Samsung is now in a big bowl of rice with a towel over the bowl and a plate on top. My Fingers are so Crossed.
Best of luck! Fingers crossed it works for you too. Please keep me updated :-)
I dropped my phone in the washing machine. I used this method and it worked ❤️
Fantastic! Happy to hear it worked for you! I've ran my phone through the washer once before too.
This just gave me hope😣
Dropped my phone in the washing machine foe about 20mins, blow dry and soaked in rice. Hope it will work...🤞
@@krewfann Did it work for you? I have the same problem...
my phone got damaged by water again everything works just the screen so ill just use this method over and over
Best of luck! Rain dosent do much damage
Will it work on silica packet as well?
That I am not sure about
@@JMGENTERPRISES experiment on next video then?
@@ignatiusfoong7072 😂😂😂No! 🤷🤣🤣🤣 No one get their phone wet just to see if silica works! 😂😂😂😂
Wowwwwww it worked in 2 seconds... I just put in the rice for 2 seconds it works
Awesome!
I’m glad to be Asian. Rice can just come in handy without going to the store
Hahaha. Rice is tasty and useful!
Hey so i am here who just finished doing laundry with all my clothes and i usually bring my phone with me and i accidentally sprinkled some water on it and now the screen has vertical white lines whenever i open it :( hope this works! ill keep u updated
I've done the same thing! How did it go?
i have s10 and accidently dropped it in the toilet for about 5 secs. whenever i try to charge it, it says that the phone is overheating. and then says that there is moisture detected in the usb port. i currently have it in rice and it's been there for about 12 hours now. i hope it'll be better when i try it tomorrow. fingers crossed!
Fingers crossed as well! Let me know if it works!
so how's your phone? did it work?
@@redshuz8651 oh yeah it worked lol. At first it didn't. But that was because I was being impatient. I thought my phone was done for but all I needed to do was leave it in rice for a bit longer and try to resist the urge to take it out. Patience is key. We were just about to send it for repair aswell, so thank God it worked👍🏾
@@JMGENTERPRISES thank you^^
@@platinumspitseverywhere4688 how long did you leave it in the rice ??? And how wet was the phone? Did it fall into water or you spilled some water ?
works but it i dropped it on a pool so id probably have to wait like 2 days but i took it out after a day only half of the water in the screen display dried yes i have a water damaged phone screen display but i got it fixed at the repair shop but the problem is the rice might get in the charing port and headphones port so use tweezers
Yeah best to wait as long as possible
Oml it work in just a minute, THANK YOU SO MUCH!❤❤❤
You're welcome!
I accidentally dropped my phone in my pool, it shut off at first and then turned back one so I thought it was fine and I was using it. However about 9 hours later I was watching TikTok and the screen went black but the sound was still playing. About 20 seconds later it started flashing colors and went completely black. I just put it in rice but am scared it is not going to work.
Do you know if it is fixable or what is wrong with it?
Sounds like water damage. Best to leave in the rice for as long as possible before you turn it back on.
😢
Should be labeled "How to destroy your device in 3 minutes or less". In all Seriousness if you have nothing on the device of value then this method isn't hurting nothing as if it don't work you just lost your device. but if your trying to save family photos etc. you may just cause more damage than good, the reason being that water is not actually conductive its the minerals in the water that conduct electricity so by using rice you are removing the water and leaving the minerals on the board, they may not harm anything but if they bridge the wrong components you could fry something important.
Very true
so when you say very true we shouldn’t use this method ?
this happened to me last night. i left the case on only did it overnight. worked for me
I forgot that my phone was in my pocket while I was at the beach, so it got wet. The on/off button responds, but the touch screen doesn't work. I can't turn off my phone because the screen won't respond so I waited for the battery to drain. I hope this method will work; currently, my phone has been in rice for 12 hours.
Best of luck. Hope ot helps. Let me know 🙏
i turned my phone on multiple times- will it still work?
If you are unsure, I would take your phone into a shop and get it checked out. A lot of shops will open it for you at no charge and access the damage.
@@JMGENTERPRISES i put it in rice for a week and it worked :)
@@euphoria238 did you just leave it a week or did you try it on sometime?
@@skaijjj_7086 same question here. :(
@@laniastraea2944 rice isnt working... For me atleast. Had to buy a new phone
will this fix an iphone thats been dropped in water and now randomly turns off?
Any water exposure, this should help!
Thanks but since my phone went in the pool there's been some dust inside the screen which triggers me alot. Is it possible to fix it without removing anything?
Oh no! I am not quite sure. Do you have an air compressor? Maybe try gently blowing the dust out that way?
ma bro rip
my phone was submerged in the water yesterday, I now put it in the rice. I hope it will work for me.
Best of luck. Let me know how it goes for you!
Thanks bro for help.
You bet!
Does this still work if the water damaged the screen? (the display has that cloudy ish look)
It can yes! It draws out the moisture
Thanks Al try it for my mom she accidentally dropped her phone in a bucket but took it out fast and removed the zim card and know it's under rice hope it works.. helpful video thanks
Hope it helped! Let me know how it goes!
Hi so I accidentally left my iphone11 in the washing machine for about 30 min then took it out and turned it on and i didn’t know that it’s bad to, after it completely turned black even though it has charge and i put it in a ziplock with rice. is there a chance that it could be fixed?
I forgot to add, after i turned it on when i took it out the washing machine it said i didn’t have a sim card.
Best to never power on the device if it's been exposed to water. That is when the true damage can occur. Electronics and water do not mix. I know it's been a few days since this happened to your phone. Please let me know how it turned out! Yes, I would still try the rice method!
Now you need to fish the rice out.
What do you mean?
@@JMGENTERPRISES rice doesn’t work your just letting it dry which is worse
not only that it could damage your phone getting rice particles in your phone and in the sockets
Decent rice doesn't have particles in it, or dust. I keep seeing that, & people saying it gets stuck in the earbud port, lol. 😂 Unless you're *cramming* it in there, just tilt the phone & it slides back out, IF any gets in there. & I don't see how. How NOT gentle are you guys being?! 🙄🤣😂 "Particles." Lmao. Rice is grains, solid! & Don't buy any weird broken or beat up or dusty rice anyway bc it would be mushy if you cooked it.
I dropped my phone in tea just for a second
It should be okay I would think. Most phones are fairly water resistant
@@JMGENTERPRISES yeah I shook it and saw a lot of the tea come out and I gave it a good wipe then put it in rice for a day. It works perfectly fine now
I put my cellphone in my family's rice bag HAHAHAH I hope it will work. My cellphone just fell on the water earlier. I will left it for now and wait about until tomorrow afternoon.
Best of luck! Hope it helps! Let me know :-)
My little sister dipped my phone in the water (a couple hours ago) i only noticed now because the front camera is very foggy and then my phone ran out of battery and even when i plug it in it only shows the charging logo i dont know if it will work
Sorry to hear that! Let me know how it turns out! Best of luck.
@@JMGENTERPRISES i checked on it in the morning and the camera is not foggy anymore so i tried plugging it in and the water stain is gone but i still does not turn on i am going to leave it in for the rest of the weekend
it did not work
Would if you dropped it in water for like 5-10 minutes and it still works perfectly fine?
To be certain all the water is out, I certainly would
Thank you for this my phone got dropped in a mop bucket thank you thank you
You bet buddy!
ive put my phone partially submerged in rice but i am going to do this now and see if it works, i hope it does as i do not have the money for repairs nor a new one... i will update with results!
Best of luck! Yes, please let me know how it turns out for ya
@@JMGENTERPRISES Thank you! I ended up getting a new phone as the damage was very clear on my old one and I was told by several people it would stop working abruptly but it did make my phone turn on so whilst I'm thankful it worked, it did not completely cure my phone, but thank you anyways!
I dropped my phone in water by accident and it was still working but it just would not charge. I used it for a while and put it in a warm room to dry but now i just discovered this hack and immediately turned off my phone. I'm gonna leave it for a day to see what happens.
Update: I left it overnight and it is now charging this hack actually works!!!
Yay! So happy to hear it. Thanks for the update!
Wife's phone got submerge in the toilet bowl, had to put it in rice for about 3 days, no issues at all
Awesome!!! Good save!
