John Maldonado congrats you are awesome! Memories are priceless

[@melaniej.697]

[@andriypassage6528]

Melanie J. if a girl can do it then I can,thank you hope it works on mine

[@melaniej.697]

Andriy Passage you shouldn't be walking around with that mentality my dear. "if a girl can do it.." that can get you in some trouble, remember that we are all equal. nevertheless good luck.

[@KevsHardLemonade]

Hi, its been 6 months since your comment. Does it still work? I want to try this if so

[@melaniej.697]

KevsHardLemonade yes!! still going strong

[@KevsHardLemonade]

[@dorinabondor7987]

My phone was dropped in the pool and wasn't working anymore...I watched the video and cleaned everything and the phone works...Thank you so much..I very much appreciate it...

[@YeiSi95]

I dropped my PSP Go in water and by cleaning the battery connectors like you showed it actually fixed it. Thank you so much.

[@patriciamaesimeon6969]

My samsung phone accidentaly dropped in our pool.. and this is very helpful...thanks so much!

[@EastCoastDestructionBMX]

F-in A!!! worked for me on a Galaxy 4. Had some water and sand that leaked through an otterbox. screen started to fade out after 4 days til was all black. This did the trick. First screen cameback faded then restarted and cameback in full effect!

[@Empress0Alex]

This worked for me, my phone is still a bit glitchy but still in working order. Use a 000 philips screwdriver.

[@davidbunata3575]

Dude, just put it in rice overnight, it will attract asians who will repair it.

[@TampaTec]

+David Bunata that is racist but funny.

[@SanjaySharma-lo6pk]

dude also put excessive sugar and cheese and oil wells it will attract americans

[@bobydean1839]

Stereotypical not racist

[@mitchmartin3207]

David Bunata LOL !

[@chrisflores1552]

Sanjay Sharma you killed the joke

[@bobbycatgt70]

Wow it worked! i have the same issue on my phone but now its working ! Thanks for Sharing!

[@Hazeydaze92]

I watched this vid is desperation a couple weeks ago, so thought I’d post for those who might be in a similar situation now.. Those with more modern phones that are soldered together, I have a samsung A70 and it fell in the toilet, and the touch screen stopped working. Left it off for 24 hrs in rice after drying and turned back on and still wasn’t working. Next I got some silica gel packets and taped them over the buttons and ports (main places water could get in) and put in a sealed plastic bag with a few more packets and left it off for a week, and it now works perfectly! No issues at all, good as new. Key is patience, keep that phone off for as long as possible, and silica gel packets (the ones you’d find in a new bag pocket) absorb moisture better than rice... don’t lose hope it may well come back to life like mine did.

[@damiannaum3134]

thank you for the advice short and helpful! I hope that my new device will survive

[@mrsavinalaugh8439]

Thanks best advice I have the same phone

[@Krisztian5HUN]

[@Ouzotime]

nice video nice tutorial. ty will give it a try..

[@agynhez4.11.14n.]

ola ...! tampatec is isopropyl alcohol 99% can use for replace of electronic spray?

[@raymaslowski4896]

Hello. I really enjoyed watching your educational video. I'm just a little afraid of messing up something on the inside. I dropped my phone in a pot of water a week and a half ago. i removed the battery and dried the battery and the phone using a towel and then sat it in front if the heating vent. I then put the battery in (probably a mistake) and tried to turn it on but it wouldn't. Two days later I put it in rice where it's been ever since. Is it too late to try your method? You made it seem so easy but I I hope I don't touch something I'm not supposed to. Any suggestions? Thanks.

[@TampaTec]

Ray Maslowski sure, can't hurt. you can't break something that's already broke.

[@Yolinstrun4e182]

time to rebuild my beloved old Samsung Note 2 that was defeated by liquid damage.

[@mrama405]

Chris H. hi buddy, did you managed to fix your Samsung

[@solo7077]

Right,So I Put Water On My Phone Bye Axident.Then It Terns On But I Can Not See The Screen What Do I Do?

[@stevepark6602]

Amazing video! I fixed a HP with this video.

[@leinali-tuolitechnology2039]

like it :D nice video and nice music. Now new tech is able to make your phone waterproof, would you spend some dollars to make it waterproof?

[@Greggg57]

Well, I went to 4 different stores and no 99% alcohol to be found. Did you get it from a college or on the internet?

[@aza_rider7148]

Will this method work on a samsing s6 edge plus?

[@janmariecarnay3373]

Tampatec is this applicable for a phone that has dropped in the water about a year ago and still doesn't work? Help me pls. Or give some advice.

[@Jamelk1]

Work for all androids?

[@jameia103184]

Should I still do this after it sits in the rice? If it powers up, after 24-48 hours?

[@Greggg57]

My friend dropped my camcorder in the lake last summer and I did the rice thing, and put it in an oven (on warm) for two days. Didn't think. Maybe I could have filled it up with rubbing alcohol to absorb the water....anyway, its long dead.

[@TampaTec]

+Greggg57 rice trick sometimes works but yes taking phone apart and cleaning with 99% alcohol or electronic spray helps, may your cam rest in pieces, i hope he got you a new cam.

[@Ouzotime]

heat will do more harm then good...after the fact of course..live and learn :)

[@daschundloverable]

couldn't find mine for 2 days. looked everywhere but the WASHMACHINE!!!! YEP, got washed and rinsed. Don't have all your tools, etc, but am trying to dry it using a hair dryer, but I think it's dead.

[@simplydoing9596]

any electronic equipment if exposed/dropped in Water, just make a light air pressure dry (remove battery ,donot open any parts, lid,back). and then Put same equipment in Steel Box open from top only and in Direct SunLight. you can keep Glass lid(but have to remove it frequently). @evening you take inside house in kitchen On next morning repeat same. untill 4 days or you find that device is now complete dry. If your timezone/city does not have enough sun-warmth then just keep in nest of of set of old filament bulb which releases high amount of heat. approx. 3-4 bulbs in circular series will do the work . ! It's an Old Tried & Tested formula in India

[@itsTakadi]

Thank you for the Video dude ;) appreciate it But i still have a problem, after my phone turned on i was so happy But then i found out that touchscreen isn't working at all is there anything i can do ?

[@astinlindsey9419]

same.did you fix it?

[@muflikhahdzurriyahuda4371]

sameee :( the rice didn't work. dont know what to do now

[@lpkjay]

I put my phone in a zip lock and sucked all the air out of the bag with a vacuum cleaner attachment as suggested in other KZbin videos. I did this several times 5 min at a time focusing on the corners of my Galaxy S5 screen. Touchscreen still didn’t respond. Then I applied low power hair dryer heat on the phone for about 5-10 min. (I didn’t think it was going to work so I didn’t keep track). During the last minute or so with the heat on I put the phone back in the bag and sucked out the air again while the hair dryer was applying low heat. I let the phone cool down for second, put the battery back in, powered up and it worked!!!

[@krystalkim3680]

I Hope You Can Fix Your phone

[@martinjr.s.nalugon6524]

Got mine submerged for just a while... I need help :

[@maximilianputzcoaching7924]

I have something odd with my note 4 . It had a water damage and the black screen issue. The thing is when the phone is warm- i put it in a oven for a while it works perfect for a while but than turns to blackscreen again. So i repeat the cycle and it works for a while again? Do you know whats up ? i shy away from opening the wohle thing up.

[@SantosYT]

Love you videos Tampatec, so many helpful tips

[@TampaTec]

+Santos96 thanks

[@krocs8556]

Hello Tampatec , The alchocol trick work for me , when i turn-on the phone and didn't on. and when I charge it the red light just came out and i was happy . I hope there will be no black screens .. Thanks for the help !

[@umarazmat]

My cous drop his Samsung Galaxy S5 in water. He didnt know much and i was informed quite later by him about what happened. this what he did already, he took the battery out and let the phone dry under fan for few hours both the batter and the phone, and he then put the battery back in and turn it on. IT did worked but touch screen was the issue. He then took to the local shop and they did cleaned the phone and the touch screen started to work again, but not all of the touch button worked. So can u suggest me what should i do as now im asked him to send it to me first. And he lived in different city, should i try local shops here too or any other suggestion

[@VonLigenstein]

Nice Video, as always. I have a TV Question. I bought a Hisense 46k360m, used. I have horiontal lines through picture, not noticed on black or white images. Shows up on blue standby screen. so it's not input cables. I pulled back off lookin for buldging caps, or anything unusual. Reseated T-CON cable ribons to LCD. camera batteries dead (No Picture) could it be interference? or is it a bad t-con board?

[@AxPeR6t9]

I have my brothers phone. We lost him to cancer on 9/28/22. His phone got wet on the way to the hospital. Can you fix it? We are in Los Angeles. Please help.

[@RangyRs4]

used to work at a phone repair shop you want isopropyl alcohol, aha, the only thing i can fault on this video, is maybe take the phone apart and clean it before you try power it up as some components only take like 1 volt or .5 volts lol and the 3.7v battery shorted to those components could blow them up, otherwise great video. btw this should work on laptops too, but again if the pcb is wet dont try turn it on lol, great vid tampa, you the shiz

[@RangyRs4]

isopropyl if you have trouble finding rubbing alcohol or anything else good luck everyone!!!

[@RangyRs4]

[@Pyridox]

Thank you for the tips! Where do you get the 99% alcohol? The CVS by me, in NJ, the highest they have is 91%.

[@TampaTec]

+Pete Ciallella amazon or ebay

[@globe255]

+Pete Ciallella I guess it is propanolol you are using.

[@Pyridox]

+globe255 I bought a couple of bottles of 99% alcohol from Amazon.

[@globe255]

Propanolol is alcohol too but a special type that is used to clean technical stuff so to speak.

[@ananahicks2905]

+Pete Ciallella I used 50% alcohol (just a little to dampen a q-tip, not soaking wet) qtips toothbrush and baby washcloth. This worked!

[@phadearts4811]

[@odettekhut]

How many water indicators are on the samsung galaxy note 5?

[@TampaTec]

[@twstdnini]

What if on the first step, i used 70% isopropyl alcohol and a nipple brush cause thats all i have right now, but it didnt open then shut off after?? My phone was a Samsung J7 Core and was used 3 months cause it was given to me as a gift but now its water damaged cause a water got in my waterproof pouch when my fam went swimming and someone bumped me then it opened under the pool.

Great video! Rice is a myth too. Check out ifixit's recent video series on micro-soldering, they go over this in good detail.

[@TampaTec]

+Matthew Davidson ok i'll check it out

[@sionsoschwalts2762]

WRONG! Rice is a desiccant, like silica gel. It removes moisture from the air and surroundings by absorbing it. Please do not spout 'facts' you know nothing about except you saw some random persons post on facebook saying it did not work after the dropped their phone of the golden gate bridge, fell 200ft was smashed and it was not fixed with rice.
