Things You'll Need:
- Blow dryer
- Towel
-
Step 1
Take a towel ASAP and dry your cell phone. If it is a flip phone open it and dry the screen and buttons.
-
Step 2
Take the battery out and use your towel to dry it if there is water on it.
-
Step 3
Wait about an hour and then place your batter back in your phone and hopefully it will turn back on. If not take the battery back out.
-
Step 4
Leave it like that until the next day. In the afternoon, place your towel on a flat surface in your backyard. Place your phone on the towel and battery to dry. When its is about dark outside, bring your phone back inside. Repeat this for about five days.
-
Step 5
After a few days of sun drying, use your blow dryer on low heat and place it about three inches away from your phone battery. Do this for about thirty minutes.
-
Step 6
Then place your battery back into your cell phone and try to turn it on. If you see any light showing like your buttons, but not the screen. This is still good because it means there is progress.
-
Step 7
Try to dial a number like you usually do even with the screen off and see if it goes through. If it does, your screen will turn on in no time. But if not then sun dry your phone for a few more days.
-
Step 8
If your phone has not made any progress within these two weeks about, you have to buy a new one. However, you could just wait and sun dry it more if you have been washing your cell phone in the washer for a really long time. It may take longer.
