  • There are 5 ways to dry a water damaged iphone, drone or camera. Let me show you how your phone can be bone dry within hours of getting it wet.

I tested 5 methods by precisely weighing wet and dry phones to see which one is actually the best and fastest way to dry a soaking wet water damaged phone or device. No one wants to go more than a few hours without their phone. Here is the fastest way to dry a soaking wet water damaged phone in the shortest time possible.

    Chris! You are a genius! I had watched numerous videos and google searched commentary on how to revive my somewhat water logged cell phone which had gone into catastrophic failure while taking a no start-up possibly terminal nap. I had managed to drop my phone into the toilet...rather quickly retrieving it as it meandered towards the bottom...definitely fully submersed. In total denial of my stupid move I cleaned up the phones exterior...it was still momentarily operational and I thought I had dodged a bullet...but not so fast.
    The next morning it was in total fail mode..no life whatsoever. Hence my search for a revival answer as thoughts of $500 plus outlay for a new phone wafted through my consciousness.
    Your sock idea was pure genius...I decided that a little bit more warmth might be in order but not too much and plenty of easy, warming air...so I used a hair dryer set on low speed and low temp . I did this for three hours all the while rotating the phone within the sock. Low and behold this worked perfectly...phone immediately restarted and has never been better! I am now a fully subscribed follower and will look forward to future pearls of wisdom...thanks again.

    Hey Chris, thanks so much for this. I did all the things you're not supposed to do after dropping your phone in water like continuing to use it without drying it off, making calls, taking pictures and trying to charge it before not turning it off first. It was only when I tried to reboot that it got stuck in the infinite boot loop spiral of death....😱or so it felt. After a day of rice drying and no joy, I found your post. So, I gave it a try using the vacuum first to suck out the water inside. Then, I used a hair drier on low and 'cool' setting for two hours. I know some say don't use a hair dryer, but this never got hot since it has a cool air setting. After that, I was afraid to turn it on thinking too much damage had already been done. But then it booted up and started working!!! Thank you so much! I'm not sure rice could have ever worked in this case.😁👍👍👊

    Heat will speed up the process no matter which method you use. Mine was under water for 20 minutes and all I had was the sun to dry it out so I shook it and sucked on it with my mouth and set it in the sun for 10 minutes then let it cool off and set it in the sun again. Slow but effective . . . I was backpacking so I had no vacuum or fan or any of the other items. It took about 4 hrs to dry it out to the point that it worked again. One way to find out if it is dry is to put it in a plastic container with a lid, warm it up in the sun for 1/2 an hr and then put it in the refrigerator for 1/2 an hr. If moisture condenses on the plastic container, dry it and repeat the process until no more condensation appears.

    Great idea! but as a professional mobile phone technician i can confirm that the best and quickest way to clean water out is by dismantling the phone, using a hairdryer to dry the water out and then using isopropyl alcohol to clean the components as water leaves mineral deposits which can corrode the motherboard and ruin the device.

    • @chrisnotap
      @chrisnotap  3 роки тому +38

      Yes but this is a really fast way without dismantling. It took me 6 weeks to test all of these methods and that one with the vacuum was hands down the fastest and totally dried it. Everything was weighed before and after to prove it. Plus I let it take in as much water as it could each time. Worst case scenario. Thanks.

I put it in a pillow case bungee corded the nozzel and ran it for a couple hours. It worked, Thank you! This is a good education in Electronics, PC boards can actually be submerged in water, as long as after its completely dry everywhere in the sockets and such, completely desicated, you can plug it in and it should work. PS it can take some heat. It is soldered at pretty high temperatures. You just have to not melt the thing especially the battery.,

    First of all - great video. Lots of effort, lots of testing done.
    Sorry but hot / warm air is big NO-NO. You would be essentially destroying the seal, which is the most important protection against water ingress. I'd much rather use cold air and wait much longer. I believe it'd also make sense to combine cold fan method with any of those great absorbtion methods, because some water is normally located further in.
    Again- great and very handy video. I shall sub ;)

  • @Andrew_Sparrow
    @Andrew_Sparrow 4 роки тому +18

    The most important thing is removing the battery if possible. If it's not clean water (wine/juice/salt/etc) and it's important then get it to a professional that can pull it apart NOW, don't wait and see if it will be OK. If just water and battery removed you can put in the oven at low temp (around 60c) obviously make sure your oven is accurate! and shield from direct heat from element. But again: the most damage I see is from leaving the battery in or clients thinking they 'got away with it' and it dying a few days later

    The issue is am having is that my 15 promax is ip68 sealed so after being under water for 16 hours water seeped in, but can’t get out. The phone is too well sealed to dry out. I’ve had mine in sunlight. Hot fans. A hot car. A vacuum. Nearly everything for three days and the water keeps condensation coming back under the 3 back lens and one front lens. This has caused the screen not to work except 2 times in 3 days. After 30 seconds the screen cuts back off. The phone is on the whole time and can be used to turn on the flashlight and unlock it by guessing the lock screen.
    I do not think the ip68 phones CAN dry out.

A knock on rock while climbing a waterfall blew the case open and I ended up with a water logged phone not that different from the video here. I took inspiration from the solution proposed at the end and resolved the issue using a sock and a hairdryer. Would never have thought about it had I not seen this video. It got a bit stressful this morning because my phone kept on restarting on it's own and it wasn't able to detect my sim card either. Thank you very much for making this video.

    Here's hands-down the best method there is to dry out your phone; heat up a sweater or sweatshirt in the dryer for about 30 min. Wrap it around your phone (warm but not roasting hot). Leave it resting against something for about 20 min, ports down. Phone dried out 100% every time.

    • @chrisnotap
      @chrisnotap  3 роки тому

      Yes but you don't know if it's dry or how much water it took in. I weighed the phone each time in this video and knew precisely when the phone was totally dry. It's the last remaining water that sits for days and weeks that does the damage and shortens the life of your phone. This may work but you have no way of knowing if the phone is completely dry.
