Ker-plunk. There goes my phone, down into the dark depths of the lake, a burial of yet another phone costing me hundreds of dollars. Wouldn’t it be nice if there was something that I could do to attempt lifesaving measures on this electronic device?
The first thing to do is turn the phone off and take out the battery (iPhone users don’t have the battery removal option, so turning it off is critical.) The biggest mistake that’s made in these panic situations is repeatedly trying to get the device to power up hoping that everything will be ok; each attempt could be your last!
Your best chances of recovery will be to not turn it back on until you are absolutely certain that all of the moisture has been removed or has evaporated – this could take days.
