How To Fix Your Phone After You Dropped It In Water | MONEY | TIME

[_waterlly_]

who else is only watching this because their phone fell in water?

[irxshn]

My phone is currently on rice please pray for me.

[KaiTheKlutz]

Turns out almost ALL of us had their phones dropped into toilets lmao.

[angiecastellanos]

I was watching this while my phone was soaked in water 😂

[spghet]

My phone just fell in the toilet, hoping this works :/

[chongwansiengupm]

It works!!! I dropped my phone into a water-filled basin, and it was still functioning initially. However, the short circuit did occurred which meant the screen of my phone turn green and black instead of my original wall paper. Then, I faster switched it off, and put it into the uncooked-rice container for 24 hours. I did used air-dryer(only air mode/little hot mode) to dry the phone twice in the middle when I took it out and dry for 20 minutes. Luckily it works!!! My phone still functioning well until today.

This literally making watch this makes me want to cry cause like 5 minuets ago I dropped my phone in the toilet

[DanceswW]

Maybe it would be a good idea to mention to turn off the phone immediately after you pick it up from the water. That is the most important thing to do. Since water and electricity doesn't go very well together. The rice is secondary.

[lovelizrowe]

Tried and true for me. Dropped my phone in the ocean, things were working but the audio was not. Left it in rice for 6 hrs or so and it's been just perfect for the last month, Whoop. Whoop

[CarmenLynch]

The fact I dropped my phone in water and can’t hear this video is beyond me 🤦🏾‍♀️

[ebinallie]

IT WORKS! THANK YOU SO MUCH! IF IT WASN'T YOU GUYS, I WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO LEAVE THIS COMMENT!😂😁😀😊☺ TRUST ME GUYS IT WORKS

[kasheemmckoy]

This really worked. So i was working and it started to pour down rain, and just my luck water got inside my iphone. As soon as i got home i sat the phone in rice for 8 hours. Nothing happened. So then i took it to the store and the guy told me my phone was done due to the amount of water in it. Then i watched this video and sat my phone in rice for two days straight and it worked. Saved me a lot of money

[robblanco]

Yeah these two american girls really went 2 days without a phone....smh

[itsourtubenow]

The rice will attract asians and fix your phone

[usernameidrc]

why did tarzaned put this in his 5k bet playlist 💀

[AkosMusings]

IT WORKS!! my phone sat in water for like 15minutes. Couldn't power on past 20secs, so my sister suggested raw rice. Left phone steeped in raw rice for 24 hours...I'm typing this with the exact same phone😀😃😃👋🏾👋🏾💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾

[zackstone]

uh wtf the phones were fine. This is like putting on a cast on a unbroken arm....Wow its still unbroken!!!!

[mousumisarkar]

As many others even I dropped my phone in toilet today. Already kept it in rice. Watching this video and reading some positive comments is really giving me hope!!

[BryceKuhn]

just dropped my phone into the ocean... right in front of a sea lion i was photographing.. was under a rock buried in water and sand for 25 minutes as the sea lion was screaming at me because i was too close to his/her baby... after a half hour i finally got. it's sitting in rice now i pray to got it works after 24 hours

[Tuffyimpact]
