Have you ever dropped a phone charger in a pool? In bathwater? A sink? Or even a lake?
Sometimes we have phone charger accidents and think immediately, "I need a to buy a new one." This is not necessarily true. At times, you can try some methods to save these common day-to-day electronic devices.
1. The first thing you will need to do is remove your phone charger from the water.
2. After removing the phone charger from water, thoroughly dry the item.
3. Next, locate an empty plastic container that you can use for a few days.
4. In this empty plastic container, place your dried phone charger inside.
5. Then place uncooked white rice on top of the phone charger.
6. Make sure your phone charger is buried in the uncooked white rice and not on top of the rice.
7. Keep the phone charged and uncooked rice in a plastic container for several days (3-10 days or even more depending on the amount of water damage and if the charger has dried).
8. After phone charger has completely dried, try plugging item in a socket and check if it can hold a charge to your phone.
I experimented with phone chargers placed in either lake water and clean water. Both items were placed in their respective water for approximately 7 days, dried, and then placed in a container filled with uncooked rice. The clean water phone charger works!
However, the phone charged placed in lake water was no longer usable and was eventually discarded to a trash receptacle.
