Getting liquid into your phone’s charging port can be alarming, but acting swiftly and correctly can prevent damage. Follow these steps to get liquid out safely and effectively:
- Power off your device immediately to avoid short circuits.
- Gently shake the device to allow excess liquid to escape.
- Use a dry cloth or paper towel to pat the exterior gently.
- Place your phone in an open position in a dry area (avoid using rice). Consider using silica gel packets for better moisture absorption.
- Avoid using heat sources like hair dryers as they may damage internal components.
