I accidentally knocked a glass of water on the nightstand next to my bed last night. What was nearby? Well, my brand new MacBook and my iPhone. I quickly grabbed the MacBook as I am still remembering the feeling I had putting $1300 on my credit card for it. Luckily nothing was damaged as the case was shut so I just needed a towel.
Relieved I then looked at my iPhone. SOAKED. I freaked out. Took off the case and started blow drying the phone. The earpiece had no sound. No ringing. Nothing.
Quick thinking I ran and grabbed a box full of Uncle Ben's uncooked brown rice as I remembered a blog covering what to do if you ever got your phone wet. Poured it into a bowl and placed my iPhone in covering everything. The idea here is the rice will absorb all of the moisture from the phone. I could only hope that in the morning the phone was working.
It did. All is well now. And use this tip if it happens to you.
