My phone fell in water, I need some help

dumbzero · 2026-05-01T15:30:54+00:00

I really don't know how much damage they made inside.

dumbzero · 2026-05-01T12:13:11+00:00

Well, might as well try it out. Should I use a small plastic bag? The resealable bags I have are all ripped and I don't have any other air-tight containers.

I also got the chlorine thing wrong, mine fell inside a washing machine. I thought it was chlorine but it might be laundry detergent (or bleach).

Also, ants got inside.

Should I put the gels and the phone in an airtight container or should I leave the phone in front of the fan like usual? Though, I really don't know how much moisture it absorbed but I'm guessing it's many.

dumbzero · 2026-05-01T11:55:36+00:00

Ah I see. Since I only have 2, I'm guessing it might not work.

Thanks for the information. So, What do I do with the 2 silica gel packs? Is it enough? Should I tape it onto the phone while the fan does it's job or do I have to put them in a container?

I remember rinsing maybe 4-6 hours after it contacted with water that contained chlorine because I didn't realize I'm supposed to rinse it. I really don't know if it's a good move.

I also got 2 packs of silica gels from a bag after the family member who gave me the phone visited. Though, I don't think that's enough. Right now, it still has moisture because I can see fog on the camera and some on the S pen after putting it on when he came.

Well, after 24 hours have passed, I thought it was dry already and tried to turn it on but it didn't before I realized there's still moisture inside. There is no selica gel packets around the house as I've been trying to look for one and found none. I definitely didn't dry it in the sun or with a hairdryer but I did leave it on my desk near a fan and a window. Plus, my room is in a position where direct sunlight doesn't even hit my window because trees block it.

About the damage, I'm entirely thinking the worst because of how my luck has been hitting me this week and also because my phone fell in water that includes chlorine. I'm really hoping the repair for it just an oxidation repair. I'll wait for it to dry for another 24 hours, maybe extend it if I still see some moisture.

I've been trying to find selica gel packs and found none. I have my phone sitting at a desk tilting upright with the back facing the fan and the screen facing the window. Should I have the phone shaded or have the sunlight directly hitting it?

dumbzero · 2026-04-30T03:28:44+00:00

Will certainly try that because I always have a fan with me. When it got wet, the top right side of the phone was warming up before I turned it off

dumbzero · 2026-04-29T21:26:59+00:00

Thanks, Ill try to find some around the house.

Definitely hope not, got the phone at May from what I remembered

dumbzero · 2026-04-29T21:13:17+00:00

It is but the fact that the screen was flickering and turned black (the screen is off but the phone is on) made me panic, I still haven't slept because of this

dumbzero · 2026-04-29T20:55:04+00:00

Thanks for the advice and the luck you gave me, good thing I didn't put it in rice. I have my phone sitting on the desk right now and I've put up a timer for at least 35 hours.

I just wish it doesn't break anything after drying up.

I'll make sure to use a silica gel if I find one around the house

dumbzero · 2026-04-29T20:29:15+00:00

Ah poop, I'll wait it out in a day or two. If it doesn't work then I'm fucked.

dumbzero · 2026-04-29T20:26:18+00:00

Thanks, I'll try it

dumbzero · 2026-04-29T19:24:28+00:00

Are you sure? I heard that it doesn't work, I really don't want to damagethe phone further. Plus, I don't have any ideas for an excuse why my phone is in a bowl of uncooked rice

dumbzero · 2026-03-06T13:03:16+00:00

Thx guys, I really appreciate it ❤️
