About this trail:
Get it out of the water as soon as possible. The plastic covers on cell phones are fairly tight, but water can enter the phone over time. But this time may be quite short - 20 seconds or less. So grab your phone quickly!

1) Remove the battery, 2) Dry your phone, 3) Soak in Alcohol, 4) Let your phone dry, and 5) Start using it again!

Soak in Alcohol. Alcohol is hygroscopic (attracts water), it will dissolve all the water in the phone, which will then pour out of the phone with the alcohol. Any remaining alcohol will evaporate. Alcohol will not harm your phone but may mess up glue (from stickers and the like).
4
set it on the back of your computer monitor or TV screen over the heat vents. This is usually the perfect amount of heat to fix your phone.
5
Another thing that is required is a lot of patience. You have to wait for 3 days at least before trying to turn on your cellphone, and until then, you won't know if it will work or not.
