Dry It

You can reduce the amount of damage by drying your cell phone to speed up the process of removing the water from your water damaged OnePlus 5. There are several better methods to absorb the water out of your electronic device rather than using the rice method to absorb the water that many attempts with water damaged OnePlus 5. Below we explain some of these tricks.

• Open Air. The water absorption of eight separate materials including silica gel and rice were compared. None of these materials was as effective as leaving the electronic device in an open space (like a countertop) with proper air ventilation.
• Instant rice or instant couscous is an acceptable substitute for silica. These absorbed water much faster than conventional rice during our test. Instant oatmeal also works too but makes a mess of your electronic device.
• Silica Gel. The best drying agent is known as silica gel that you can see in the pet aisle of the grocery store as style cat litter.

You can still sell your broken water damaged cell phone if all of those methods to fix your water damaged OnePlus 5 didn’t work. Remember to keep your SD cards, and SIM card. These contain vital information like contact, files and other sorts of data. This can be valuable and save you time when getting a new smartphone.
