Dropped it in water? Do this first, and skip the rice
The first hour matters most. A couple of quick moves give your phone its best shot at coming back.
Power it all the way off and don't plug it in. Charging a wet board is what actually kills phones. And please skip the rice, it's a myth that does nothing but push starch and dust into the ports and speakers. What genuinely saves a water-damaged phone is opening it up, cleaning the corrosion off the board with the right solution, and drying it properly, which is exactly what we do here. We'll be straight with you about the odds, some boards come back and some don't, but the sooner you bring it in, the better your chances.
