You shouldn't have to insert battery or switch on device at least for 24 hr
Still remove battery, use hair dryer to dry it completely but with cool hair and let it remain open for a day
Shake in between and try drying carefully.
May be soon you will get advice to keep in dry rice, a typical myth. Don't know how much it will help.

Isn't it because rice drains water (even as far as draining water from air, which is why you should keep rice in dry environments)
My girlfriend dropped hers in the toilet the other day. I took the thing apart and blew out as much moisture as I could with pressurized air, then left it alone for a day. It works fine now.

The rice thing does have some validity, it worked on my fiances iPod after a trip through the washing machine anyway.
Unfortunately OP, turning it on so soon was a mistake and probably caused more damage than the water itself. I wouldn't get your hopes up.

Rice has starch, it pulls water towards itself. Surprised you dont know this.

Take the battery out, keep the battery cover off and place the phone on a bag of rice for at least 24 hours and let the rice draw the moisture away from the phone.

Rice isn't a magic bullet, but it can certainly help very much.
I dropped too
Hello there. I dropped my Note 2 yesterday into the sink for a 7-10 seconds:crying:. It is almost the same story. I took apart the whole mobo and put it into the rice for 24 hours. Today I tried it and it worked for 30 minutes without any problem. Than I decided to run Quadrant and at the end of the test the screen went first yellowish than all blank. I didn't want to force it so I removed the battery and put it into rice again.
I wonder what happened with yours. Is it working now, did you get replacement of something?
Your answer is appreciated!:good:

Could still have some moisture inside try letting it dry longer

maybe try and take it apart to let it dry?
Sick it in a bucket of dry rice!! (without the battery in it) It will dry it out well. Just leave it there for as long as possible.
Probably too late now. 8 hours is really not long enough to dry out the phone, and when you turned it back on without fully drying it, you likely fried some chips on the board.
Please help what do i do get back to me asap! Comment please!
Take out the battery and put it in a bowl of dry rice with a lid and leave it there for 24 - 48 hours !!!!!!!!! Hurry!!!!

U got a hair dryer? If you do after its been in rice 24 hrs open container and blow it dry for 10-15 mins replace for another 24hrs then blow dry another 10-15mins ON LOW then try powering it up
Turning it on can cause something to break internally in the phone

MAKE SURE TO SEPERATE THE.BATTERY FROM THE PHONE IMMEDIATELY, DO NOT TURN ON FOR ATLEAST 48 HRS sorry for caps want to make sure u see this
Don't use a blow dryer if the temperature on it is too hot. I did that to a keyboard... it can melt the parts... use a cold fan or a blow dryer that has a button for cold air (like mine). My mom recently washed her phone... no luck if you leave your phone in a pocket. The SIM card and SD cards should be fine even if they go for a long swim. My wallet, with my SD cards, have endured such a thing many times.
I turned on once so *grrrrrrrrrrr* But battery no work and idk bout sd card also phone works and only had on for about 1 min and turned off immeadiatly so were good guys soo far i post video to youtube now. Will give link in a min
That's y I said make sure its set on low you only want slightly warm moving air 24hrs AFTER its sat in dry rice to remove the slight moisture left then you should put it back in fresh dry rice for another 24hrs then blow dry on low again for a few mins and let sit for 20 or so mins after blow dry then put back together and test
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=60RaMOQs-vs&context=C300cffeADOEgsToPDskLZPlw8-rHRgrxN2SrH86W8
This happened at about 9:00 PM today Pacific time. So I should blow dry tomorrow?
Yeah, remove battery, 24hrs in fresh dry rice; blow dry on low or cool air setting 10-15mins; place in fresh dry rice for 24hrs again; blow dry 10-15mins; let sit 20-30mins; replace battery, test
you can look in some of your other products around the house and pull the little packets of beads that say do not feed to children. place them with the device. Be very careful with a hair dryer as it is used in screen replacement to heat the glue around the screen. if your battery/sd card show signs of corrosion on the leads use a new pencil eraser to clean them. good luck.
Just remember when using the hair dryer to help dry the phone out u don't want to do it first. EVER. And you don't want it to be hot, u only use it after sitting in the rice to help push and evaporate the minute amount of moisture left inside the housing after its sat in the dry rice which will pull the large amounts of water and moisture out mostly the hairdryer method is to push some warm air thru the phone to help move the moisture that's left towards the openings and off the logic board and other electronics inside and at the same time the warmth from it helps evaporate some moisture u can't see the other option besides a hair dryer if you have the tools(and skills) is to take the phone completely apart as broken down as u cab and use qtips and a shamwow type of cloth to carefully dab up any moisture u see on the boards and connectors and u can use 91% isopropyl alcohol to clean any corrosion you see starting to form alcohol fully emulsifies meaning it evaporates to nothing and wont cause corrosion, I've actually soaked logic boards from printers in dishes of alcohol to remove ink debris that leaked from bad cartridges onto the print controller clogging the ink ports and been able to save the parts with out having to replace them, I was really skeptical the first time anyone told me to actually submerse the boards in a liquid thinking it would cause some irreparable damage but as long as u let it sit out for an hour or so after the alcohol is like it was never there. Now I couldn't even tell u how many times I've used the alcohol to clean electronics I've accidentally spilled soda or something sticky on and managed to save them with no signs of damage or ill behavior afterwards
Its about 2:30 Pacific Time and it looks like nothings bad! Phone looks dry but should I take it out and Blow Dry it? It looks like nothing/no water is there!
Oh and just tested battery and sd card those are working (tested them on my Touch Pro 2) I'll make video now
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2-1Z...xt=C384d5ceUDOEgsToPDskLCrR01u0_kS_sNk9Wwouyo
I would dry if u want then replace in rice for atleast until morning before attempting to power on
Edit: memory cards are usually a non issue good quality cards are waterproof and have gold contacts which wont corrode my SD card has gone for a swim a few times
So my kid reached in my pocket and dropped my phone in the toilet. i pulled it out fast, it didn't completely submerge, it's in a bowl of rice atm, how long should I wait to turn it on to see if my $600 just got flushed down the crapper.
To be safe I'd say a day or two. I've never been that patient though. Get some 90% + alcohol dip the phone in it then put it in rice wait a few hours that's always worked for me

Last time I revived a fully submerged phone it was like three days. I also did the rice and phone bake in the oven. Wouldn't recommend that unless you figure the phone is toast to start with lol but here it is. Glass bowl, submerge phone in rice, bake on lowest setting of oven taking out often to let cool a little, bake time about an hour. Remove battery, sim, and SD card before baking. When done baking pour everything into zip lock bag for two days. You probably think I'm crazy but this worked on my daughters phone after she dove into a pool with it then tried to turn it on while it was still dripping water. This was on a desire z so not sure how our screen will react to that much heat.

I would opt for this method over baking, every oven is different and you run a risk of melting the soldier and causing irreversible damage if it gets too hot. The most important thing about electronic devices getting wet is removing the electrical current ASAP (if possible pull the battery!!!). Other than corrosion, the only problem with water any electronic device has is electrical shorts burning up the circuitry. Once electricity is removed from the equation, alcohol isn't anymore harmful than water, and in fact will evaporate (including the water) much quicker, which in turn reduces the chance of corrosion. That being said, although i am impatient as well i would still give a good day, 24 hours, in a nice rice bath. Just make sure there is no visible liquid before attempting to power on the device, personally i would pull the back cover off and unscrew the back side of the case exposing the main board just to get a better look but not everyone is going to be comfortable with that.
What i did that worked:
Get a ziplock back filled it with rice. Put your phone without Battery, sim, sd card, backplate in the bag with rice. Set the bag with contents on the top of your refrigerator where it is slightly warm, let it sit for 48 hours. Take it out after 48 hrs (it should have all the moisture out of the phone at this point) put the battery, sim, sd, etc back in and fire it up. Cross your fingers at this point
Best bet jar/ bowl of rice,, pull sim sd card put BOTH batt and phone into rice!!! batt has a chip in it, wait for at LEAST 3 days every day shift phone in the rice<<< moves dryer rice closer to phone, after 3 days pull phone out of the rice, THEN grab a can o air, spray air into phone, To see if any water still in phone,, if so 2 more days if not cross fingers put it togather and see if it works,, DO not put in OVEN plastic warps!
Well I'm at work now, it's been over 50 hrs I stuck it in rice, so it'll be like Christmas in October for me when I get home, or not.....

Speaker F***ed, headphone jack not working

I cant be certain it fits, but looking at the connectors in the picture it appears to be compatible, and for 9 bucks i would try it personally before i did anything drastic. Not sure how much the shipping would run to Canada but its got to be less than an insurance deductible.

Rice works, but something a little more powerful are various "thirst bags" that you can buy anywhere on the internet. They work similarly to the rice option but work with a much higher fix rate. This link is to one thats $9.99 http://www.ifixit.com/Tools/Thirsty-Bag/IF145-163 good luck
Remember to slap that thanks button
So did you figure out your pumpkin dilemma ?Just wondering..
I keep a bag of about 150 or so Dessicant dryer bags in one of those vacuum seal jars, just in case. They are cheap and easy and work better then rice. I would say getting a bag of 200 of them cost me about $20.00 Keeping them in the vac sealed jar keeps them from sucking the moisture out of the air.
Worked WONDERS on my day care providers iphone.
Well. I frigged around with pluggin headphones in and making the phone heat up. now it works, just like new, except I know it's been spoiled with poop water!

I bid farewell to my old time buddy(My Desire HD) the other day, it got doused with a bubble solution... I tried blow-drying it for 15 minutes to dry out the battery slot & removed the sim/sdcard cover to dry it again, but can't revive my DHD. The bubble solution seeped in between the screens.
Is there anything I can do to revive it?
*The phone generally turns on screen, lights up
*LED stays on green no matter what or how long it's been on
*The phone vibrates 5-short-consecutive times after turning it on
*I haven't tried to hook it up on the charger because of fear that it might fry or short circuit some of the other "Still working" components of the phone

Remove the battery first. Even if you don't have it hooked up to power, the battery's juice can still short your phone. And don't try to turn it on.

Id leave it to dry in rice for a day longer.
Then, if you were comfortable in doing so, you could disassemble the phone and try using a hair dryer to dry the screen and other parts. (obviously take out the battery before doing anything, in fact take it out now so it doesn't blow or anything)
Bag of Rice is a pretty nice idea...keep ur DHD in it for 2-3 days for better effect
Hello, I have a Note 2, and today I accidentally did spill water on it, I did take out the battery, dry everything, battery, contacts, the surface, I removed the SIM card, and I have not turned it on since it happened, I'm afraid that there's still water inside; I dry it at least 5 seconds after it happened, I was readin on putting the phone in rice in a bowl, without battery, disassembled or assembled? does it work? does it has to be fully covered? it's dry now, but if you please can give me another advice, I would appreciate it, thanks!

Yes disassemble it. i mean remove battery cover and battery too and let it in a bowl of rice(covering the phone with the rice) for a day. It'll absorb the humidity and phone should work .
hope i helped, bests

well yes you can keep the phone on a bowl of rice but dont fully submerged the phone in rsther kkep it on top level just a bit submerged, dont ever try to to use hair dryer and stuff, rather the best way would be if you can disassemble the unit and keep it to dry moisture for a day and it should run fine after that ,do check if any motherboard has any water residue and even the digtizer if found then let it dry more until unless you are sure it has soaked the moisture
I've left the phone in a bag half covered with rice, I won't use it until tomorrow, I'm pretty sure it's ok, as I said, I dryed it in about 5 seconds after I spill the water, thanks for the help, I will let you know if it works
EDITED: It works fine! I just hope it does not give me any problem in the incoming days, thanks!!!
