Saving Water Damaged Cell Phones and Digital Cameras

According to the trusted sources at NPR, many people seem to drop their cell phones or digital cameras into the toilet.

Don’t just look at it! Quick pull it out!

The sources also suggested an old trick within the industry which is to bury the soaking cell phone or camera in the middle of a large bowl full of rice. Cover the bowl and wait at least 72 hours before trying to see if it worked. The rice should have been able to absorb the unwanted moisture.

Good luck!

  1. Thanks for the great tip. I wish I knew of this when my daughter dropped her iphone in the toilet. Regardless, do not forget to wear gloves!
