Put your wet cell phone on a towel on a counter. Open the cell phone and remove the battery.
Step2
Pour rubbing alcohol all over the phone on both sides and all over the battery.

Not too close now! Run the hair dryer over it for 15-20 minutes. Don't put the hair dryer to close or it will melt your screen. This process is not guaranteed but works most of the time.

  • Don't be afraid of using too much alcohol, the more the better.
  • These steps won't always work but it is worth the try since your phone won't work after it's wet anyway.
