[summary]Let's work together to get rid of the myth that putting electronics in rice is an effective strategy for treating water damage. It's not. Reach for the alcohol, not the rice.[/summary] | |
+ | |
+ | == Does rice really dry out electronics? == |
Liquid damage in electronics is a bit like pancake batter on the counter: on Sunday morning, it's relatively easy to wipe off. Dried pancake batter on Sunday night—that's a different story. The same thing happens with water/liquid damage. | |
The real secret to water damage? You ''don't'' want to dry it! | |

+ | == How to dry a phone without rice == |
- | |
+ | What you want to do is first ***displace*** the water—or more specifically, all the conductive stuff ''in'' the water. You can do this best by using 90%+ isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol and a toothbrush. Open your device as soon as you can, take out the battery, and get scrubbing. Submerge the whole motherboard in alcohol, and scrub away. Only then, dry it and see where you stand. By getting the liquid displaced ''before it can dry'', we are cleaning the pancake batter on Sunday morning. This is your best strategy for liquid damage. |
- | You'd be hard pressed to find '''''any''''' experienced professional in the repair industry that doesn't roll their eyes when they hear the word "rice." We see the sad result of phones/devices that have been carefully placed in the Mahatma bag with fingers crossed. |
+ | Of course, it's tempting to just put the phone in rice—you never know, it might be okay. We ***''want''*** to ignore all that work above and just hope for the best instead. |

To all repair professionals out there: please join in sharing some pictures of what a phone/device really looks like inside when we open it up after its romp in the rice. A picture is worth a thousand words. Maybe it will help show folks the reality of the role of rice in water damage. |
