Put a wet phone in a container of rice for a quick fix
A wet, broken cell phone is never a problem for this witty grandma. In Asia, rumor has it that if a cell phone gets wet, dipping it in rice to absorb the moisture will make the phone work like brand new again. Guess it is worth the try.
This IT life hack has been around for a long time. In case of an emergency, it should work for most people. However, it is still highly recommended to take your broken phone to a professional for additional repair and to double-check that the interior is dry.
