This is based on my own experience.
It has worked twice when used.
When a cell phone is dropped in water it is finished. You have to buy another one - unless you had insurance for that.
CASE EXAMPLE 1)
My daughter was out in the driveway - and there is a big puddle that fills with water, about 2 inches deep when it rains. One day.. her and a group of friends were goofing around it.. and her cell phone fell in the damn thing.
OMFG!! it was the end of the world.
A teenager with a broken cell phone.
A dad with an impossible repair of electronics ruined. So I thought about it for a day... and used common sense. The common sense was that the water in the thing was shorting out the paths that the electricity was traveling through it. If you could remove the water.. it should again function. But how to remove the moisture? Cant disassemble it and blow it off. The chances of putting it back together again and working are slim. So... I put it in the dehydrator. The same machine that turns beef into beef jerky. And you Know it worked! After 12 hours.. it worked like new.
CASE EXAMPLE 2)
Diana's best friend lost her cell phone - It showed up in our back yard in the spring - after the snow melted. It was toast. You guessed right. After 12 hours in the dehydrator it worked. I only have these two examples to share, so I don't know if it works 100% of the time.. Hope this information is useful.
