Do Not Try This at Home!
Waterproof Nokia N95 Aqua Edition

First of all the video that you will find below is NOT safe to try at home, not at all, don’t even think about!

Seriously, even if it happens to you, if you accidentally drop the phone in the water or your cell phone gets wet somehow, it is highly suggestible to pull out battery as soon as possible.

Immediately actually, just get the phone out of the water and remove the battery, water is a good conductor of electricity and will cause a short circuit and serious damage if it reach the board or the battery contacts.

But if you remove the battery you will disconnect the electrical power supply and prevent any further possibility of short circuit damage and you’ll radically increas your chances of a successful phone resurrection.

The next step is logical, you have to get as much liquid as you can out of the phone and dry it completely, remove the cover and dismantle it completely if necessary. You just have to be sure that the internal parts, screen batter and main board of your phone are completely dry and that it will not cause a short circuit when you reconnect the phone’s power supply, battery actually.

Just don’t rush, I know that waiting can be annoying but believe me it worth waiting; if you connect the battery and phone is not dry you’ll kill it completely and in the most situation damaged is beyond repair and dread the cost and hassle of replacing it.
