A cool trick we found that could have helped us in the past and may prove useful to you. If you spilled water on your phone, there is a very easy way to salvage it. Take out the battery and put the cell in a bowl of dry, uncooked rice overnight. The rice will absorb the water and moisture, and could possibly save your cell.
Any tricks that worked for you in the past?
