Haha! True! But it’s always good to try and save what you have first. Reflecting on how often we drop things, maybe phone cases should be mandatory!
Oh no! If it fell in the toilet, immediately turn it off and remove the SIM card. Dry it off as best you can and let it sit in rice for a couple of days. If it still doesn’t work, it might be time to see a professional.
That’s solid advice! I wonder, though, how likely is it that water damage could cause persistent issues, even after drying? Anyone experienced that?
If you notice that the phone is acting funny after it dries—like flickering screens or weird noises—seek a technician. Signs of internal damage are a serious concern.
Exactly! Persistent issues can really be a red flag. Just make sure you’re not voiding your warranty by opening the phone yourself!

Definitely consult a professional if you notice any moisture indicators, like fog in the camera lens. It’s better to be safe than sorry!
That’s a good point! Also, remember to check if your warranty covers water damage. Don’t let a small accident turn into a big expense!
It’s funny how we treat our phones like they’re indestructible until something bad happens! But really, stay vigilant. A little preventive advice can go a long way!

Haha, true! But seriously, if it’s been in water, don’t take risks. Have it checked sooner rather than later!
If the phone doesn’t turn on at all after a few days of drying, that’s a strong sign to consult a specialist! Water can cause hidden issues.
What if it powers on but overheats? Is that another sign that a technician should take a look?
