Jakarta, Spasi-id.com - water spilled on the screen of a cell phone usually just needs to be wiped and may not cause any problems.
However, if the water goes into the speaker hole, it could directly affect the sound produced.
Well, the good news is that water-loaded speakers aren't a big deal as long as you handle them quickly.
Here are some tips that you can try to get over a water-loaded phone speaker.
- Shut down the device immediately
If the device is alive when it falls into the water, shut it down as quickly as possible. If the device does not die, remove the battery and SIM card immediately. Then, let the rest of the water out by putting the phone in reverse for 10-15 minutes.
Leave the device down until you're ready to fix it. Don't try to use it as long as there's a chance the circuits are wet.
- Use the speaker cleaning feature on the HP
Some of the Android's phones have a special feature to remove foreign particles from the speaker. This feature puts high-pitched sound on loud volume to remove water, dust, and other foreign particles from mobile speakers.
So, find out if HP has that feature. To search for such features, you can visit the Auxiliary Settings - the Speaker and follow instructions to clear the water off the speaker.
- Download mobile speaker cleaning applications
For mobile phones that don't have speaker cleaning features, you can still use an extra app to get water out of their speakers.
Just like the cell phone default cleaning feature, it works with a loud voice and vibrates to get water off the speaker. For the record, the time it takes for this application to clear varied speakers, from minutes to hours. So, just be patient and keep repeating the process until the speaker is back to normal.
- Let the water dry up
If the water had gone too deep into the speaker, the speaker cleaning app might not have worked effectively. In that case, you need to let the phone get really dry.
You can leave your cell phone under room temperature for a few hours until it dries up. Make sure you put the device in such a way that the speakers face down.
You can also bury a phone in rice for at least 24 hours. It's effective to drain water from the speakers because rice is absorbing every moisture around it.
- Use the hair dryer
You can also try using the hair dryer. However, you should hold it very close to the wet area for a few minutes. In order for all the water to evaporate, you might need to turn on the hair dryer for 10 to 15 minutes, depending on how much water goes in.
Be careful using the hair dryer to keep the device from getting too hot and getting damaged. Next, put it in a ventilated place both to dry up and get back to normal.
- Use silica gel
If your cell phone is not waterproof and using speaker cleaning applications still doesn't have any effect, you need to be careful. At a time like this, you can utilize silica gel.
Slika gel can help absorb water faster. Hopefully, this will help dry the cell phone and prevent a bigger problem from happening.
- Take it to the service place.
When the speaker stops functioning, it could be that the device has been corrosive due to moisture. In this case, the device may need to be opened to be cleaned or even replaced.
For those of you who don't understand the details of smart phones, don't take any chances on your own. Better get a cell phone to the official repair center. Eventually, the phones will be cleaned carefully and professionally. If there were any components that needed replacing, you'd be told.
