As Holi celebrations kick off with excitement, people eagerly anticipate the vibrant festivities with foam parties, rain dances, thandai delights, gulaal, and more. While indulging in the joy of Holi, water balloons and water guns add to the fun. However, there’s a risk of smartphones getting wet amidst the revelry or while capturing cherished moments.
Here are some tips to handle a water-damaged phone:
1. Immediately power off the phone, and if possible, remove the battery (for older models).
2. Avoid shaking the phone, as it may force water into internal parts.
3. Gently dry the outer surface using paper towels; refrain from using a hairdryer to prevent heat damage.
4. Let the phone air-dry naturally or use sunlight to aid the drying process.
5. Place the phone in a bag of uncooked rice for at least six hours, as rice absorbs moisture and speeds up drying.
6. Do not attempt to charge the phone while it’s wet, and remove the SIM card and tray to prevent further damage.
Following these steps can help salvage a water-damaged phone and ensure continued functionality after Holi celebrations.
How To Save Your Phone From Gettin Wet?
Keep your phone, smartwatch, smart band, or other gadgets safe during Holi by using an airtight ziplock bag.
