So yesterday my Huawei p30 lite fell into the bathtub. Approximately 2-3 seconds inside I would say and then dried it out immediately, sim card out, battery unfortunately not because you can't open so easily and then in a bag with rice… Well my question, someone has experience with the same phone and how do you estimate the chance of no harm? PS: in the fall, it was already turned off so no longer, if that plays a role?
You have already reacted correctly.
Was the phone completely switched off or just "standby"?
Switching off completely is better, then you avoid a short circuit.
I suspect the phone will still work well, but it may be that your speaker or microphone is not working well or you have many small bubbles / bright spots on the display.
Yes, so I had no battery and it has actually turned off completely… Thank you, but something could then be repaired with speakers, microphone, etc? Because it is just a few weeks old
That it was off may reduce the probability of a defect. Since the battery was used, however, a defect can't be ruled out.
This with the rice is a widespread mistake. The rice can only absorb liquid with which it has direct contact. Since there's no rice in the housing, the moisture in it can't be absorbed by him.
The best thing is, you put the phone in a warm place, so that any penetrated water can evaporate. It does not work in a bag.
After a few days it should be dry. And please do not try first, if it still works.
Yes, replace speaker / microphone should not be so expensive.
Replace display is also possible, but probably more expensive.
Okey thank you
This with the rice is a widespread mistake.
That's no mistake. The rice absorbs the moisture. There are certainly better remedies such as silica, but something you just do not usually in the house. Often, however, rice is already somewhat saturated because it has already absorbed moisture due to incorrect storage in the household. Cat litter or similar would be more effective, but the device will then pick up the scent.
Of course you should place the device in the bag so that the moisture can flow out of an opening below.
The rice can only absorb the moisture that comes out of the device.
And it comes out better when it's open in a warm place.
If it was not on, your chances are pretty good. If the display showed no reaction then nothing should have happened. For example, if the phone had gone on, then you would know that the water came through the lock button. But if not, then everything is fine.
Thank you… I have a little more hope! I will recharge it tomorrow night and then try to turn it on, I think two days should actually be enough to dry.
Danke.geht again and you see nothing… Perfect
