Wet phone prescription

Moisture and electronic devices do not go well together. The most common damaging effects of liquid exposure are electrical shorts and/or corrosion. Shorts can occur at any time power is available to internal components. Corrosion can occur when moisture is left in the device for an extended period of time, usually more that 24 hours. Extracting the moisture ASAP does not provide a guarantee, but it does give the phone the best chance to come back to life. The DryBox was designed for that purpose. With its ability to extract all moisture in under 30 minutes, it is the best solution on the market to quickly save a wet phone. To get a better idea on the chances of the DryBox machine saving your device, please answer the following questions and follow the prescription.

Q.1

Since the exposure, has there been any attempt to power the phone on, make a call or charge the battery?

Any attempt to supply power to an electrical device with moisture present can cause a permanent short and render the device inoperable.

No
Yes

Q.2

What is the age of the phone?

Over time, phones can accumulate foreign debris (dust, lint, etc.). When this debris is exposed to liquid, there is a greater chance of clogging or shorting-out the internal components, rendering the phone inoperable.

Less than 12 months old.
More than 12 months old.

Q.3

How long was the phone exposed?

Extended exposure to liquid or moisture can increase the chance of an electrical short, but can also compromise the workings of many critical components (including the battery).

Partially or fully submerged for under 60 seconds.
Fully submerged for over one minute.

Q.4

How long has it been since the phone was exposed to liquid?

The sooner the better. Getting moisture out of the phone before corrosion occurs is extremely important. The DryBox dries "wet" phones. Placing a phone that may already be dry and corrosion has set in (usually after 36 hours) does not provide a good chance for rescue.

24 hours or less
More than 24 hours
