- Get about 2 kilos of rice, uncooked, and put them in a container and dig your smartphone down to the belly of the container.
- Let your cellphone stay there for three to five days. The uncooked rice will dry up the water that penetrated your mobile phone by absorbing all the moisture.
- After three to five days, pull out your mobile device from the rice container and switch it on. Allow it to run for a couple of hours to heat up all its electronic parts. Then plug it in your battery charger. It should work after a few minutes of charging.
