Water damaged phones are no fun, neither are water damaged homes.

These are the items you'll need to help dry out and fix your cell phone.

Paper towels, A box of uncooked rice, A container or zip-top bag

Here are 6 quick and easy steps to bringing your water damaged phone back to life:

Step 1: Remove parts of the water damaged phone.

The first step you must do is power off the phone. Then you have to take out the battery and remove the back cover if possible.

Step 2: Dry off phone all over immediately.

You have to then dry off the contents of the phone such as the battery, back, and front, and whatever areas got damaged.

Step 3: Fill Container or Bag.

Next step is to fill the container or bag almost to the top with the dry rice.

Step 4: Put phone and battery in the rice container/bag.

Put the phone and battery in the rice container and leave it in there with the lid over it for about 1-3 days to dry and take out all the moisture from the water damaged phone.

Step 5: Take phone out of container/bag.

The phone is still buried in the rice. After 1-3 days take the phone out, wipe the rice dust off and put the battery and back phone cover onto the phone.

Step 6: Turn phone on.

Turn the phone on and it should work fine with no problems whatsoever.
