Tuff little Phone!
When I first got this used HTC inspire Phone, I didn’t expect to be so durable. I even showed you how to unlock your HTC Inspire and make it work it Straight Talk! Recent past have talked about some of my other favorite durable technology, like the MX Anywhere Mouse [Affiliate Link]. The mouse is very durable just like this phone, I’ve been using this mouse for over 2 years and still think this is very useful!
So why bring up the mouse, well I used to have a post about water damage on the mouse and how to fix it. It went out the window when I upgraded to Squarespace I believe. Oh well, it was a great post about how to fix your mouse in case it got wet.
My Cell Phone got dunked in liquid!
I won’t say how, but I will say most people will say that it now longer will work and I think even the cell companies like to use that lie to get you to buy a new cell phone when this happens. Anyway, I don’t know who came up with the idea of getting electronics wet means it is ruined. I also know about the side effects of rust and moisture but most of the time you can fix that with a little sun and letting it dry. If moisture got in the electronic it can get itself out! That at least is what I think and what I have seen it do in the past.
Some Points to Consider!
- Don’t expect it to work right after you think it is dry. It might take a little longer than usual for it to be dry enough to work.
- If your 10$ keyboard needs clean, just drop it in water and then let it dry. You’d be surpised how cleaner it is afterwards. Just remember to disconnect it from power supply and give it plenty of time to dry off approximately a day or two should do!
- If your Cell phone or Keyboard gets wet, remove batteries or power it down quickly to prevent any electrical arching which could result in damage to the electrical equipment.
- If you can keep the battery door open to let it dry!
- If you think it is ruined, then you can’t do any more damage by trying to dry it off and use it again!
I don’t recommend this for anything else. If you happen to get your laptop wet then you have problems. I am talking about a keyboard for the desktop and only a desktop.
After I’d dried off my cell phone, it started to work again. If it didn’t at least I had a way to go buy a cheap HTC Cell phone and thus saving me money. If you need a used cell phone, I suggest checking Cellular Country [Affiliate Link], they guarantee that it will work on delivery or your money back! That’s where I’m going to buy my next cell phone from when it is time!
