Phone in Toilet

[MikeYost]

Just managed to drop my phone in the toilet.

Span round after draining the dragon and it flung out my pocket and into the flushing bog! :wall:


Now got it out as quick as i could and took it apart.. got the sim out..

anything to help save the phone/sim? its in the airing cupboard at the moment..

Anything like this happened to you?

Time for a larger i think today has been stressfull! :drink:

Hair dryer on the bugger, and strip it down as much as you can, case off - screen if you can.

[K17NEY]

if it was turned off when it down the shitter it should be fine,Otherwise just let it dry out but its probably f**ked sorry mate.

[coleman258]

Deffinatly get the hair dryer on it !

But yep i have done exactly the same thing, it's just a big panic and you just have to get your hand down there lol.

[D--R--E--W]

shake the phone alot to help move the water out it then put a couple sheets of kitchen towel on top of a radiator and leave it sittin on it overnight, should be sound in the mornin

[iluminusbutterfly]

submerge it in rice, rice draws moisture out of things, then put the whole lot in the airing cupboard and leave it for 2-3 days

[Saxo-SX]

You might just get lucky.

I threw up on my old nokia. Broke for a few days. Then 1 week later it was working :D

Was also drenched on numourous occasions and never had a problem.

LMFAO





put it on a radiator dry it quick dont turn it on for as long as you dare but like said if it was on at the time then prob fucked but you might be lucky

[Rogue_Shadow]

Dont hair dryer it, that will make it dry to fast and the water will biol components
Was covered on the gadget show :D

Take the phone apart (as much as you can ie : Battery, sim, casing if you can)
Leave it on a towel or tea towel on a radiator

A airing cupboard will cause condensation and likely Fog the screen

Let it dry over at least 12 hours, put it back together and see if it works
If so...bingo

If not repeat for another 12

12 hours may seem like a long time...put a drop of water on your window sill, see how long that takes to disappear, now imagine 100's of tiny water droplets in your phone circuitry.
Give it time, save your money, save your gadget

[Saxomatic]

Would have added insult to injury if it somehow fell in while during you were trying to syphon the python :n:

[James106]

Putting it in rice does work.... i went swimming in the see ( had no choice i was getting stranded ! ) and had it in my pocket lulz... put it in rice... didn't work but the point is it can be done!

[stu-n-shell]

i did this while mid flow was txting at the same time and it slipped out my hand. straight through the stream of piss and into the bowl. it was a case of do i piss on the floor while grabbing for my phone or keep going. i chose to keep going. safe to say the phone was well and truley fucked.

[Chris_O]

Jumped in a pool when pissed with my phone in my pocket... took it out straight away, took it apart and left it to dry for 2 days. Worked ok apart from a couple of buttons but they started working again about a week later

This is so unlucky. However I admire you for being able to text and slash at the same time.

[stu-n-shell]

its and art and it helps when the buttons are realy big

[MikeYost]

haha cheers for the replys, got it on the radiator at the moment.. will check it in the morning i guess and see if anythings working lol

[Jarhead]

Mine went through the washing machine once :n: Left it in my jeans pocket and heard it banging around.

It flickered on for a second or so, and then it died.

[Saxo-SX]

Get it insured online.

Technically its not fraud as you dont know if its broken yet.

[sparky771]

put it in a sealable plastic bag with case off etc, with some of those silicone sachets you get in electrical goods boxes (the lil bags at the bottom of the box that say do not eat! its silicone cyristals they will draw the moisture out of the phone but need to leave it for about a week.)

[Viper]

not read the thread, so sorry if its been repeated.

Leave it in the airing cupboard overnight and try turning it on in the morning. just make sure it has time to dry out!

[Peter_D]

Mine went into my vodka & red bull at the weekend courtesy of my mate knocking it off a windowsill, and it's on the radiator right now, it was completely fucked but then left it to dry for a few hours the next morning and it works apart from some buttons don't work and the number 5 does a J and a space no matter how many times i try for K & L.. J J J J J ...

The screens still full of vodka and i can hardly hear people speaking in calls so i'm leaving it to dry again think the damage is done though cos i didn't even rush to get it out i just picked the glass up and told my mate "it's sound" and then casually picked it out and wiped it on my jeans

If i was a bit more straight headed i might of done something about it but fuck it. Least it aint covered in piss and flakey faeces :P

Dropped my old 3210 (old school) in my brew back when I was at school dried it off took it aprt including screen and left it for a couple of days. And it worked fine except the no 3 button occasionally wouldn't work unless you twiddled with it. A lot harder to save them though these days as they're a lot more complicated.

[Sheeps24]

I did this once so I folded a towel in half and hung it over a radiator and put all the pieces of phone in the folded over towel worked a treat it was working again in a couple of hours

I dont understand why that is so funny, it really does work i knocked a pint of water onto my w910i, rememberd the rice trick from some website took my phone apart dryed it off with kitchen roll then submerged it in a bowl of DRY UN COOKED rice that bits important, put it on a window sill above a radiator and it should be fine, my phone worked fine, needed a new keypad tho that was mashed

[AkuskaUK]

yep!, dropped my first gen iPhone in the shitter, LUCKY enough it got lodged in the tip of the ice berg and didn't hit the water, was a cracking dump though! :D

I've done this too! Best thing about the 3210 was that you could take apart the whole phone like the covers etc but the problem with new phones as said is that they are too complicated to do!

LMFAO

[Pixie]

I put mine on the radiator when i dropped it in a puddle and that worked :)

[jordan1]

Put mines on top of the radiator last time, stripped all the pieces off I could, luckily it worked again, hairdryer sounds good as well though :D

[RichM]

Had my phone in the front pouch of my hoody, took hoody off forgetting about the phone and it dropped in the toilet(with clean water). Took the battery, sim card and memory card out and used a hair dryer on it then left it on a radiator for a few hours. Still working today and its a touch screen phone (Nokia 5800).

[shawy]

Deffinatly get the hair dryer on it..bat/sim out and full blast hairdryer trement
