Re: is there any hope for a sprint touch that got dropped into a hottub?

The biggest mistake that people make after dunking their phone ( or any electronic device) is turning it on to see if it still works.

This is what you should do:

1. Don't turn it on! Immediately remove battery and open all covers
2. Gently shake out some of the water. Don't go crazy because you're likely to drive moisture in to areas that may be dry.
3. Choice, depending on how long it was under - either dunk it in rubbing alcohol and then put it in a bag of uncooked rice OR just go directly in to the rice if the dunking wasn't that severe.

4. Wait a day or two before reassembling it.
