Originally posted by -SpectraL We can't negate the fact that rice does, in fact, have moisture absorption capabilities. We wish we could just discard the notion, like the baby with the bathwater, but we can't. Now, whether that absorption capability would assist in the recovery of the phone's functions in any way, shape or form, and to what degree, is another question entirely. Nobody knows. It will remain a mystery, lost to the annuls of time.
While rice does absorb moisture, no one is arguing that, it is not suited or helpful to use in a water damaged electronic device in any way. Ever. -

Yes and if it didn't work, you almost certainly caused even more damage to the drive when condensation forms on it, ruining it. It was only ever meant to be a, "I have tried everything else and I don't care THAT MUCH if the data is destroyed forever" technique. -

There is a big movement of people replacing silicon dioxide with processed rice husk. Because it fucking works.
If you insult rice one more time I'm going to rape your sister.

Anyone in this industry knows that the "rice trick" is bogus, just like "freeze your hard drive" or any of those other retarded YouTube miracle fixes. -
2018-03-28 at 7:57 PM UTC in How to recover information off a water damaged phoneThe "put it in rice" thing is an internet myth. If you want to further destroy your phone, throw it in rice.
The only PROPER way to handle this is to CEASE FROM ATTEMPTING TO USE THE PHONE.
You'll need to disassemble the phone to remove the motherboard, remove any heat shields that cover the various ICs, and then soak the board in 91% or higher isopropyl alcohol overnight.
The next day, gently scrub the board with an acid brush or old toothbrush, being sure not to brush so hard you knock off components.
Use a qtip to clean the ribbon cable connectors with more 91% iso, allow the fully dry, then reassemble.
It would be better if you had an ultrasonic cleaner with auto frequency scanning capability like a repair shop would (like I have), but you can follow what I said as a pretty straight forward way of trying to get data back.
Also, replace the battery. It's gotten wet, so go ahead and assume it's finished. Power on ONLY AFTER doing everything I said and with a new battery.
Have it connected to a PC and be ready to transfer data ASAP because you never know HOW LONG the phone will work for. Don't wanna spend precious time dicking around with it.

You can use that video to disassemble your phone and reassemble. -
