Phone dropped in water? Instead of panicking, do this; you can avoid major damage.

If your phone falls into water during Holi, you need to be cautious. Being cautious can help prevent major damage.

Holi, the festival of colors, is over. If your phone falls into water while playing Holi and gets wet, it can cause major damage. Water and liquid are incompatible with other phones, and most companies don't cover liquid damage under warranty. Therefore, only caution can save you from major damage. Today, we're going to tell you what to do if your phone falls into water.

Do this to avoid damage.

If your phone falls into water or gets inside, instead of panicking, you should act cautiously. Immediately remove the phone from the water and switch it off. Avoid shaking the phone excessively and place it in a safe and well-ventilated area.

If the phone has a cover, remove it immediately. Also, remove the SIM card, memory card, and other accessories from the phone.

Wipe the phone from the outside with a dry, soft cloth. This will remove any water accumulated on the device's surface and allow it to dry thoroughly. If the phone doesn't turn on after drying completely, take it to a service center.

Avoid these mistakes

Some people use a hair dryer to dry their phone. This can be dangerous. The heat from the dryer can damage the phone's internal components. Similarly, avoid leaving the phone in direct sunlight. Excessive sunlight can also damage internal components.

Many people shake the phone vigorously to remove water. Avoid this. This method can force water inside instead of draining out, which can damage other components.
