My friend dropped her phone in water...

[Pooh Carlson]

Any easy way to fix this? She said she dropped the very bottom tip of the phone in water for a second and over the course of the night the screen got blacker and blacker, creeping up to the top of the screen. I looked at the battery and it didn't look like there was any water damage. The little indicator thing didn't bleed to have a pink background, so I don't think that was effected. The screen was still responsive, you just couldn't see anything. I took the battery out and did the rice thing but I guess not the screen is completely black. Any easy way to fix this or is it an s.o.l. situation?

Stick it in a bag and fill it with rice and leave it be for 48-72 hours. Rice can absorb the water.

[Fiddleford H. McGucket]

Keep it in the bowl of rice for a FULL 24 hours.

Also if you/she have a protection plan.....may want to talk to your cell provider...also...bring money...you may be buying a new phone

[Pooh Carlson]

So besides the rice thing, nothing? Cause I already did the rice thing.

Cook it scallions.

if she left the phone on after dropping it in the water she's probably shit outta luck. I'm assuming that happened since you talked about the screen changing color

Yeah, it's actually my friend's daughter and she didn't own up to dropping it in water til the screen was halfway black cause she didn't wanna get in trouble.

If the water spot is still white by the battery she can make an insurance claim, if she has insurance.

If the spot is pink, she's going to have to buy a new phone.

[Cranjis McBasketball]

You gotta rice it right away, otherwise, yeah, new phone time.

Nah she said she was taking a bath and skipped a song in Pandora and dropped, caught it, but the bottom landed in the water.

Her brother, though, dropped his in the toilet.

I remember someone telling me that he repairs phones with water damage by wiping it with rubbing alcohol. I'm pretty sure he was referring to the circuit board though.

They certainly don't have to call me dad, I'm okay with "Captain Outstanding."
