mobile device washed at 60° in the washing machine Solved

Question

Hello,
I have a problem this morning; my phone went through the washing machine in my bed sheets at 60°.
I removed the battery and put it on a towel to dry it.
Does anyone know if it will work again or if someone knows what to do in my case?
My phone is a Sony Ericsson K530i.
I had an M2 card in it; is it dead?
Please respond, it's urgent.

Configuration: Windows XP Internet Explorer 7.0

What you need to know is that it's not just water that is the enemy of your phone in particular and electronics in general, but everything that can be in the water, namely:
mineral salts, dirt, chemicals, and so on.
Indeed, once you have thoroughly removed the water from your phone, and it has dried, these contaminants will remain, which, with the heat generated by your temporarily resurrected phone, will undoubtedly cause short circuits.
And thus the permanent death of your favorite phone.

which I certainly do not wish for you...

Hello,
The card shouldn't be damaged, but your phone might have some chances! If it was on, even more! But it's happened that everything works normally afterwards!!
Anyway, you need to keep your fingers crossed.
Best regards

yes it was on
I'm going to pray lol
should I do something to make it dry faster so that the drying is more effective to give me the best chance for the port to work again?

thanks for the quick response

It needs to be done as quickly as possible to take it apart before the water damages all your components and it becomes truly dead. Then you use a hairdryer on the maximum heat setting. Mine fell into my shower; it was in the water for about 2 seconds. I did what I told you, and it worked again—at first, the screen was very bright, but then it returned to normal. It's a K750i.

Mais une chaleur trop importante ne risquerait-elle pas d'endommager certains composants ?

belbel94 · Answer

Non, ne t'inquiète pas, il n'endommagera pas ton tel. Le mien, je ne pouvais plus le tenir à la main tellement il était brûlant. Mais c'est quitte ou double : soit tu essaies et tu obtiens un résultat, soit tu ne tentes pas et ciao le téléphone. Le mien en a duré... 1 heure, pas plus, il a démarré et j'en suis la preuve matérielle.

Hi. Between two seconds in the shower and a good long 60-minute program, there's a difference..!!!!!! I'm done...;-)^^

D'autres conseils ?

Non, dans une baignoire immergé dans l'eau, puis à partir du moment où l'eau pénètre à l'intérieur, c'est la même chose. Dans mon cas et le sien, l'eau a pénétré dedans, donc voilà. C'est pour ça que je voulais dire à Quintin que s'il voulait avoir une lueur de chance de récupérer son téléphone, il fallait qu'il déclenche le protocole de séchage d'urgence en vitesse.

belbel94 · Answer

C'est pourquoi je te recommande vivement de le démonter pour retirer toutes ces saletés.

Today (02/06/08) my phone went through the washing machine yesterday; I had forgotten it in my jeans. This morning when my mother came to pick me up from school, she told me she put it on the radiator after removing the battery, and when I put the battery back in, my phone doesn't turn on. Please give me some ideas on how to make it work again; it's a Sony Ericsson W850i. Thank you in advance.

don’t worry, I’ll show you a picture of how to take it apart because it’s going to be too hard to explain in writing.

titi · Answer

My phone went through the washing machine at 40 degrees. It spent the night in there, and I think it was turned on. This is annoying, what should I do?

cassecassie · Answer

It depends if your phone was off or on because if it was on while going through the machine, it won't work anymore, I think. But if it was off, well then it will work again.   Hi, see you!

Hello, my mobile phone went through the washing machine (Samsung SGH-S501i flip phone). Will it still work? Can you please respond to me at my address matys76@hotmail.fr?

cristo · Answer

It is necessary that when you find your phone in your bag that you dry it with a hairdryer. That's what I did, but mine was in my pocket and turned on, and I removed everything (battery, SIM, etc...). So here it is.

It happened to me too, but I don't care about the phone, I just want to know if the SIM works again??

chipsssyvon · Answer

Water in a cell phone also happened to me and even though it started working again after drying, some time later it stopped and since I no longer thought about the water inside the phone, I went to see a repairman who told me that the entire inside of the phone was rusted and irreparable. Conclusion, I was able to keep my phone for a few more months.

Hello. Obviously, it's a bit less catastrophic if the phone is off. However, mine was on in a pants pocket, it went through the machine with pre-wash, wash, rinse, spin cycle, all at 40°. Result: nothing left. I let it dry for a day after disassembling it, and placed it next to the fan of my laptop. I charged the battery and it works like new! I don't think the hairdryer method is the best: too harsh. In my opinion, it's better to warm it up gradually and gently.

mathilde · Answer

Put the phone in a bowl of rice! The water is absorbed directly without risking overheating the phone's components with a hairdryer! Good luck :)

Hello everyone, I'm going to respond to a bit of everything: Some phones work after going through the washing machine, proof is, I tested it (unintentionally of course ;) ) and it still works. The procedure is as follows: - Once out of the machine, immediately remove the battery, the SIM card, (and the SD card if there is one). - Leave your phone to dry on a radiator overnight. - The next day, open your phone completely (case, screen, etc...) and remove the water (or at least what can be removed) and reassemble your phone. It will probably have some marks but it will likely still work. I hope I’ve helped you. Just to clarify, my phone that went through the washing machine is a Samsung Galaxy ACE and I had to buy a new battery (5 euros online) because the other one didn’t even last a day... That's it, bye.

My Nokia 1661 went through a 30°C machine wash while it was still on. After 2 days on the radiator, there was no trace of moisture, but it still didn't work. After 7 days, it still wasn't working. On the 8th day, by miracle, it restarted and works perfectly.

Scrappycoco · Answer

You need to remove the battery and then dry it with a hairdryer. Then put your phone in rice and leave it for 24 hours! It worked for mine and it had been in the toilet for more than 10 hours..
