So, you dropped your phone in water. You are screwed, right Nope, just order some Chinese Food, and you’re good to go – Sort of.

“One final, perhaps surprising, note: If your phone gets soaked in salt water, you should probably flush the whole thing in fresh water before it dries. When salt water evaporates, it leaves crystals that can damage a phone’s fragile components. Just be sure to remove the battery before flooding the device.”

If you rescue it after it’s been wet for only a few seconds, you might still have a chance.
