Kako spasiti telefon od oštećenja vodom^{(How to save your phone from water damage)}

U ovom članku ćemo raspravljati o jednoj takvoj uobičajenoj nesreći koja svake godine odnese živote mnogih pametnih telefona, a to je šteta od vode. Ljudi često ispuštaju svoje telefone u vodu. Nekad u vanjskom bazenu, a nekad u WC-u. Ljetni mjeseci obično svjedočimo porastu slučajeva telefona oštećenih vodom. Ljudi hrle prema bazenima i zabavama na otvorenom, a netko ili drugi na kraju ispusti svoj telefon u vodu. U ovom članku ćemo raspravljati o različitim načinima na koje možete spasiti svoj telefon od oštećenja vodom.

Zašto je ispuštanje telefona u vodu tako opasno?^{(Why is dropping the phone in the water so dangerous?)}

Pametni telefoni su složeni elektronički uređaji koji u sebi imaju puno sklopova i mikročipova, a iako nam je voda super, upravo je suprotnost elektroničkim sklopovima i komponentama. Kada ispustite telefon u vodu, on brzo pronalazi svoj put unutra kroz brojne priključke i otvore na vašem uređaju. Iako su neki vrhunski pametni telefoni visoke klase vodootporni ili vodootporni, drugi nisu. Voda^(Water) može lako dospjeti u unutrašnjost i uzrokovati kratke spojeve koji bi spržili sustav. Iz tog razloga, osim ako nemate vodootpornu slušalicu, željeli biste svoj uređaj držati daleko od vode.

Koje se mjere opreza mogu poduzeti kako bi se izbjegla šteta od vode?^{(What kind of Precautions can one take to Avoid Water Damage?)}

Pa, najbolje bi bilo da telefon držite dalje od mjesta gdje možete očekivati ​​štetu od vode. Držite telefon podalje dok koristite WC i čitajte časopis kao u stara vremena i sakrijte svoje telefone na sigurno i suho mjesto prije nego što skočite u bazen. Sljedeće što možete učiniti je investirati u vodootporne torbice ili vodootporne silikonske futrole za svoj mobitel. Na taj način će vaš uređaj ostati suh čak i ako padne u vodu.

Kao što je ranije spomenuto, postoji niz skupih pametnih telefona koji su potpuno vodootporni, a polako i postupno će to postati nova normalnost. S vremenom će čak i ekonomični pametni telefoni postati vodootporni. Do tada morate paziti da vaš uređaj ne dođe u dodir s vodom. Međutim, ako si to možete priuštiti, odaberite vodootporni uređaj i više nikada ne brinite o oštećenju vode.

Što ne učiniti u slučaju oštećenja vode?^{(What not to do in the case of Water Damage?)}

Vrijeme je ključno u slučaju oštećenja vodom, stoga kada ispustite telefon u vodu nemojte sjediti i razmišljati o tome što se upravo dogodilo. Djelujte^(Act) brzo i izvucite telefon iz vode što je brže moguće. Što duže ostane u vodi, veće su šanse za trajno oštećenje. Dakle, čak i ako vam telefon padne u WC, nemojte oklijevati staviti ruku i izvaditi ga, ako želite koristiti taj telefon u budućnosti. Osim toga, ovdje je popis stvari koje morate izbjegavati.

1. Ako se mobitel isključi, nemojte ga uključivati.
2. Ne pokušavajte ga priključiti i pokušati napuniti.
3. Izbjegavajte pritiskanje bilo koje tipke.
4. Tresenje, kuckanje ili lupanje telefonom neće donijeti ništa dobro pa se suzdržite od toga.
5. Pokušajte ispuhati zrak u pokušaju da izbacite vodu može imati suprotan učinak. Može poslati vodu dalje unutra i doći u kontakt s komponentama koje su do sada bile suhe.
6. Slično, sušilo za kosu će imati negativan učinak jer bi voda mogla doći do unutarnjih krugova i trajno ih oštetiti.

Što učiniti kada vam telefon padne u vodu?^{(What should you do when your phone drops in the water?)}

Pa, prvo što trebate učiniti je što prije izvaditi telefon iz vode i pokušati ga ne tresti ili previše pomicati. Ako se uređaj već nije isključio, odmah ga isključite. Sada postupno slijedimo dolje navedene korake za uklanjanje vode koja je ušla u vaš uređaj.

1. Rastavite stvari^{(1. Take Things Apart)}

Nakon što telefon izađe iz vode i isključi se, počnite rastavljati stvari. Otvorite stražnji poklopac i izvadite bateriju ako je moguće. Sada remove the SIM card/s i memorijsku karticu iz svog uređaja. Međutim, većina modernih pametnih telefona uklonila je odvojivu bateriju i ne dopušta vam uklanjanje stražnjeg poklopca. Ako koristite stari uređaj, onda imate sreće i moći ćete lako rastaviti stvari. U suprotnom, morate ga odnijeti u trgovinu i potražiti stručnu pomoć da otvorite svoj uređaj. Postoji niz YouTube tutorijala koji će vam pomoći u tome, ali savjetujemo vam da se suzdržite od preuzimanja stvari u svoje ruke osim ako nemate prethodnog iskustva.

2. Počnite sušiti svoj mobitel^{(2. Start Drying your mobile)}

Nakon što je uređaj otvoren, morate ga početi sušiti papirnatim ručnikom,^{(drying it with a paper towel,)} maramicom ili malim komadom tkanine. Dok koristite papirnati ubrus, pazite da koristite samo tapkajući pokret kako biste apsorbirali vidljive kapljice vode na uređaju. Nemojte pokušavati brisati ili trljati jer bi to moglo dovesti do klizanja vode u neki otvor i oštećenja unutarnjih komponenti. Pokušajte apsorbirati što je više moguće s površine bez previše pomicanja stvari.

3. Izvucite usisavač^{(3. Bring out the Vacuum Cleaner)}

Papirnati ručnik može samo toliko. Da biste dobili to dubinsko čišćenje, trebate nešto snažnije; trebate usisavač^{(you need a vacuum cleaner)} . Usisna snaga usisavača može učinkovito izvući vodu iz unutarnjih dijelova i spriječiti daljnja oštećenja. Iako je potpuno sigurno koristiti usisivač, pazite da telefon ne tresete previše i, naravno, koristite usisavač odgovarajuće veličine koji odgovara zadatku.

4. Ostavite telefon u vrećici riže^{(4. Leave the Phone in a Bag of Rice)}

Vjerojatno ste to vidjeli u brojnim videozapisima o životnim hakovima u kojima ljudi ostavljaju elektroničke stvari oštećene vodom u vrećici riže da je osuše^{(water-damaged electronic stuff in a bag of rice to dry it out)} . Sve što trebate učiniti da nabavite vrećicu s patentnim zatvaračem i napunite je nekuhanom rižom i bacite telefon u vrećicu. Nakon toga, trebate ostaviti telefon neometano u vrećici riže dva do tri dana i dopustiti riži da učini svoju čaroliju. Logika iza ovoga je da je riža izvrsna u upijanju tekućine i atmosferske vlage. Također, to je uobičajeni kućni predmet koji možete lako pronaći kod kuće. Također možete kupiti posebne vrećice za sušenje ili koristiti pakiranja silika gela, ali budući da je vrijeme bitno, samo naprijed i bacite svoj telefon u tu vrećicu za rižu.

Budući da već nekoliko dana nećete moći koristiti svoj telefon, svoju SIM karticu i memorijsku karticu možete prenijeti na drugi mobilni telefon ako je dostupan. Pitajte svoje prijatelje ili rodbinu mogu li vam posuditi rezervni telefon kako ne biste bili u iskušenju koristiti vlastiti telefon.

5. Provjerite radi li telefon ispravno ili ne^{(5. Check if the phone is working properly or not)}

Nakon nekoliko dana morate izvaditi telefon iz vrećice s rižom i vidjeti radi li ispravno ili ne. Pokušajte uključiti mobitel i ako se ne pokrene uključite ga u punjač i pokušajte ponovno. Ako se vaš telefon pokrene i počne normalno funkcionirati, onda su se čestitke, vaš trud i strpljenje isplatili.

Međutim, vaš telefon još uvijek nije čist. Pomoglo bi kada biste pomno promatrali bilo kakve znakove neobičnog ponašanja. Problemi poput mrtvih piksela, područja koja ne reagiraju na zaslonu, prigušenog ili nikakvog zvuka iz zvučnika zbog oštećenja od vode^{(no sound from the speakers due to water damage)} , sporog punjenja itd. mogu se pojaviti tijekom sljedećih nekoliko dana ili tjedan dana. Kad god vaš telefon pokaže znakove kvara, trebate potražiti stručnu pomoć, a za to ga morate odnijeti u trgovinu ili servisni centar. Također, obavezno testirajte sve komponente. Možete reproducirati video i nazvati nekoga, priključiti slušalice, kliknuti sliku itd.^{(Problems like dead pixels, unresponsive areas on the screen, muffled or no sound from the speakers due to water damage, slow charging, etc. can occur over the next couple of days or a week. Anytime your phone shows signs of malfunction, you need to seek professional assistance, and for that, you need to take it down to a store or service center. Also, make sure to test all components. You can play a video and call someone, plug in a headphone, click a picture, etc.)}

6. Najgori scenarij^{(6. Worst case scenario)}

Najgori je scenarij u kojem se vaš telefon ne uključuje čak ni nakon što isprobate sve što^{(your phone does not switch on even after trying everything)} je spomenuto u ovom članku. Možete ga pokušati odnijeti u trgovinu ili servisni centar, ali vrlo je mala šansa da vaš telefon ponovno počne raditi. Umjesto toga, ono čemu se možete nadati je da je šteta ograničena na zamjenjive komponente poput baterije. Zatim možete popraviti svoj telefon tako da platite relativno mali iznos za zamjenu određenih komponenti.

Međutim, ako je voda oštetila glavni strujni krug, onda je cijena zamjene gotovo jednaka cijeni samog telefona, pa stoga nije izvediva. Nažalost, vrijeme je da se oprostite od svog mobitela i nabavite novi^{(say goodbye to your mobile phone and get a new one)} . Možete pitati ljude u servisnom centru mogu li pokušati spasiti podatke koji su bili pohranjeni u internoj memoriji kako biste ih mogli prenijeti na svoj novi telefon.

Nadamo se da su vam ove informacije bile korisne i da ste uspjeli spasiti svoj telefon od oštećenja vodom. Na kraju želimo reći da je bolje spriječiti nego liječiti i da uvijek morate nastojati da vaš telefon bude udoban i suh. Kao što je ranije spomenuto, vodootporne torbice ili futrole mogu biti pametna investicija ako planirate biti u blizini vode. Također, uvijek čuvajte sigurnosnu kopiju svojih podataka kako se dragocjene uspomene i važni dokumenti ne bi izgubili u slučaju trajnog oštećenja.

How to save your phone from water damage? (2022)

Did you accidentally drop your phone into water? If you did, then you need to act fast to save your phone from water damage. Follow our tips below to dry out your phone (the Right Way!) and save your device.

Our mobile phones are an expensive electronic gadget that is an essential part of our lives. Not only does it contain precious memories in the form of photos, videos, and texts but also important work-related documents that you cannot afford to lose. As a result, we try to keep our phones safe at all times. However, even after being careful and cautious, accidents do happen. Everyone must have dropped their precious phones at least once in their lifetime. Then there are instances when your mobile gets stolen, or you accidentally misplace it. In case of an accident, the only thing that we hope for is that the damage is minimum and the device can be restored or retrieved (in case of theft or loss). Most of the time, timing is of the essence; the faster you act, the less are the chances of permanent damage.

How to save your phone from water damage

In this article, we are going to discuss one such common accident that claims the lives of many smartphones every year, and that is water damage. People often drop their phones in water. Sometimes in an outdoor pool and sometimes in the toilet. The summer months usually witness a rise in cases of water damaged phones. People flock towards pools and outdoor parties, and someone or the other ends up dropping their phone in the water. In this article, we will discuss various ways via which you can save your phone from water damage.

Why is dropping the phone in the water so dangerous?

Smartphones are complex electronic devices that have a lot of circuits and microchips inside it, and even though water is great for us, it is exactly the opposite of electronic circuits and components. When you drop your phone in the water, it quickly finds its way inside through the many ports and openings on your device. Although some premium high-end smartphones are waterproof or water-resistant, others are not. Water can easily reach the interior and cause short-circuits that would fry the system. Due to this reason, unless you have a waterproof handset, you would want to keep your device far from water.

What kind of Precautions can one take to Avoid Water Damage?

Well, the best thing to do would be to keep your phone away from places where you can expect water damage. Keep your phone away while using the toilet and read a magazine like old times and stash your phones in a safe, dry place before jumping into the pool. The next thing that you can do is invest in waterproof pouches or waterproof silicon cases for your mobile. This way, your device will stay dry even if it falls in the water.

As mentioned earlier, there are a number of expensive smartphones that are completely waterproof, and slowly and gradually, it will become the new normal. With time, even economical smartphones will also become waterproof. Until then, you need to make sure that your device does not come in contact with water. However, if you can afford it, then go for a waterproof device and never worry about water damage again.

What not to do in the case of Water Damage?

Timing is of the essence in case of water damage, so when you drop your phone in water do not sit back and ponder about what just happened. Act fast and pull your phone out of the water as fast as possible. The longer it stays inside the water, the greater the chances of permanent damage. So even if your phone drops in the toilet do not hesitate to put your hand in there and retrieve it, if you want to use that phone in the future. Apart from that here is a list of things that you must avoid doing.

1. If the mobile gets switched off, then do not turn it on.
2. Do not try to plug it in and try to charge it.
3. Avoid pressing any keys.
4. Shaking, tapping, or banging your phone will do no good so please refrain from doing so.
5. Try to blow air in an attempt to get the water out can have the opposite effect. It can send the water further inside and come in contact with components that were dry as of now.
6. Similarly, a blow drier will have an adverse effect as the water could reach the interior circuits and permanently damage them.

What should you do when your phone drops in the water?

Well, the first thing that you need to do is take the phone out of the water as soon as possible and try not to shake it or move too much. If the device hasn’t already turned off, then switch it off immediately. Now let’s gradually follow the steps given below to remove the water that has seeped into your device.

1. Take Things Apart

Once the phone is out of the water and switched off, start taking things apart. Open the back cover and remove the battery if possible. Now remove the SIM card/s and the memory card from your device. However, most of the modern smartphones have done away with detachable battery and does not allow you to remove the back cover. If you are using an old device, then you are in luck, and you will be able to take things apart easily. Otherwise, you need to take it down to a store and seek professional help to open up your device. There are a number of YouTube tutorials to help you with the same, but we would advise you to refrain from taking things into your own hands unless you have some prior experience.

2. Start Drying your mobile

Once the device is open, you need to start drying it with a paper towel, a tissue, or a small piece of cloth. While using the paper towel, make sure just to use a dabbing motion to absorb visible water droplets on your device. Do not try to wipe or rub as that might cause the water to slide into some opening and damage the inner components. Try to absorb as much as possible from the surface without moving things too much.

3. Bring out the Vacuum Cleaner

The paper towel can only do so much. To get that deep cleaning, you need something more powerful; you need a vacuum cleaner. The suction power of a vacuum cleaner can effectively draw out the water from the interior sections and prevent further damage. Although it is completely safe to use a vacuum cleaner, make sure that you do not shake your phone too much and of course, use an appropriately sized vacuum cleaner that suits the task at hand.

4. Leave the Phone in a Bag of Rice

You have probably seen this in a number of life hack videos where people leave water-damaged electronic stuff in a bag of rice to dry it out. All you need to do get a zip lock bag and fill it with uncooked rice and toss your phone in the bag. After that, you need to leave the phone undisturbed in the bag of rice for two to three days and allow the rice to do its magic. The logic behind this is that rice is great at absorbing liquids and atmospheric humidity. Also, it is a common household item that you can find easily at your home. You can also purchase special drying bags or use silica gel packs, but since time is of the essence, go ahead and toss your phone in that rice bag.

Since you won’t be able to use your phone for a few days now, you can transfer your SIM card and memory card to an alternate mobile phone if it is available. Ask your friends or relatives if they can lend you a spare phone so that you are not tempted to use your own phone.

5. Check if the phone is working properly or not

After a few days, you need to take your phone out of the rice bag and see if it works properly or not. Try to switch on your mobile and if it doesn’t start the plug it in the charger and try again. If your phone starts and begins to function normally, then congratulations, your efforts, and patience have paid off.

However, your phone is still not in the clear. It would help if you kept observing closely for any signs of odd behavior. Problems like dead pixels, unresponsive areas on the screen, muffled or no sound from the speakers due to water damage, slow charging, etc. can occur over the next couple of days or a week. Anytime your phone shows signs of malfunction, you need to seek professional assistance, and for that, you need to take it down to a store or service center. Also, make sure to test all components. You can play a video and call someone, plug in a headphone, click a picture, etc.

6. Worst case scenario

The worst-case scenario is one where your phone does not switch on even after trying everything mentioned in this article. You can try to take it down to a store or service center, but there is a very slim chance of getting your phone to start working again. Instead, what you can hope for is that the damage is restricted to replaceable components like the battery. Then, you can get your phone fixed by paying a comparatively small amount to replace certain components.

However, if the water has damaged the main circuit, then the cost of replacing that is nearly equal to the price of the phone itself, and thus it is not feasible. Unfortunately, it is time to say goodbye to your mobile phone and get a new one. You can ask the people at the service center if they can try and salvage the data that was stored in the internal memory so that you can transfer it to your new phone.

We hope that you find this information helpful and were able to save your phone from water damage. We want to end by saying that prevention is better than cure and you must always try to keep your phone snug and dry. As mentioned earlier, waterproof pouches or cases can be a smart investment if you are planning to be near water. Also, always keep your data backed up so that precious memories and important documents don’t get lost in case of permanent damage.
