Hi everyone, so, it was a fucked up day today. My Pro flew into the toilet. Yes. The toilet today. I took it out quickly and proceeded to dry it. Took out the battery, etc. I did not try to turn it on. So...please help me anyone. What should I do other than cry? Is there something I should be doing? Once something falls into water its not the same anymore right?
Shit. Ok. So I get a new one. This sucks. But, what is great is that I have my TM2 and my Volcano to the rescue. Until I get my Pro working and a new one.
I was going to suggest the rice idea as Gary suggested but maybe not now
put it rice for a day, and see if it turns on if not, DM me
This was my suggestion but I will have to re consider now
Please don't do that:
Why do so many people believe rice can remove and fix water damage to their phone? We dig into the myth and really try to make it less … sticky.

Interesting article
I found a Samsung s7 when they were new in the river - salt water too
Leaving to dry a few days it wouldn't turn on
I put in rice for two days and it powered on straight away and still works to this day as a back up phone
I'm sure the article is correct and opening and iso would be the best way
I'm wondering though if rice still helps at all on a sealed unit
Salt is even better at moisture collection but is a lot finer and might get inside the phone parts
I'm going to have to think about this more now after reading the article you shared and re consider the rice technique
It certainly has had practical benefits for me even if the theory says otherwise
I'm pretty sure it was the rice and not just time drying it out too - I've used for other devices too
But - I'll do more thinking now and reading and maybe I'll come to the conclusion rice doesn't work
Cheers for the link regardless
