A friend of mine dropped my cell phone into a pond. He had to look for it for five minutes before he could get it out. Fortunately it worked. It restarted a few times and I couldn't find any damage. But the screen went black and the flash kept blinking (irregularly). After about 10 minutes it started again and everything was normal at first, after a few seconds the screen only showed lines and the lightning bolt flashed again. Of course I know that it is not optimal for the cell phone now and I will probably have to buy a new one.

It's a Huawei Y6

Can you do something?

St

Soak the phone completely in uncooked, dry rice for a few days

Mi

After submerging it, it should always be dried before switching it on. No matter how curious you are.

It is best to open it and place it on a heater.

And that helps or how? Hardware is broken too

Fr

My old iPhone 8 lay in the quarry pond at 3 meters deep for 24 hours and still worked, BUT I put it in rice for 2 days and let it dry first

How to open

ro

Could definitely be completely over, it would certainly be cheaper to get a new one than to have it repaired. Because if the mainboard, which I assume is over, borders on a total write-off.

St

Testing is above studying.

You will then know whether that works.

3 days should be enough.

I did it back then and everything was fine again

Me

You can't do that with your cell phone, only with older ones

St

Heating is not the best solution. The water evaporates and could do more damage

Mi

It does not evaporate because radiators do not have 100 ° C. It evaporates and the thermals take the moisture with it. The temperature of the radiator can depend on the cell phone.

St

The cell phone is not the problem. That is sensitive technology. When the water pulls into the components on the mainboard, it's all over.

But I give in that it evaporates.

Still not healthy on the heater.

Rice is better

Mi

Cat litter and dehumidifying granules are better.

Ki

The friend finally destroyed it by restarting it, by pushing it most likely water got into it

completely over throw it away

St

Also works, just maybe not everyone has.

But it's best to pull out the moisture

Fe

Terrifying how many outdated theories are here. The problem is not the water, but the salts and dirt that cause corrosion. You have to put the parts in alcohol

St

If you know better, don't ask first

Lu

Yep, I agree with you

Lu

It works with new ones, but only very, very cumbersome

Lu

Heating doesn't do anything anymore, it's over

Lu

1 meter

Generation), iPhone XR, iPhone X, iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus, iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus are classified according to IEC standard 60529 under IP67 (up to 30 minutes and at a depth of up to 1 meter).

i don't believe what you wrote

Lu

No, that doesn't help, as your cell phone doesn't even meet the lowest level of water resistance

Me

The advice would only have been useful for older smartphones
