Yeah or put it on a paper towel in such a way that the port has the towel kind of into it,
But yeah not a good thing to plug your fone in from amins power. But yes I would normally power off a device that has had water in it, Keeps the water away from any active circuits -----Original Message----- From: viphone@googlegroups.com <viphone@googlegroups.com> On Behalf Of Lisa Belville Sent: Tuesday, 27 April 2021 12:47 pm To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Help, What to do about a briefly submerged phone Simon, my sister was over here helping me look for rice. I had none, but a short Google search suggested oatmeal or even couscous. I decided to go with the oatmeal. I put the phone in a ziplock bag and it's currently sitting on my dryer that's been running for a couple of hours. The phone was working just fine before I powered it off. The ominous thing is that my sister insisted plugging it in was safe even though I reminded how electricity and water didn't mix, yadayada. She had removed the case and everything was bone dry. The phone connected, but a message popped up saying the lightening charging wasn't available because the phone detected water in the charging port. we unplugged the phone and I gave it a gentle shake. There was a slight mist of water that came out of the port. It wasn't even two or three drops, just a mist. I'm cautiously confident at this point.
