Have you ever dropped your phone in water or accidently spilled water on it and water has entered your charging port? No matter how cautious you are, it can happen to us.
Many ways for eliminating water from a charging port are floating around the internet, many of which have the potential to do more damage to the device.
There are various simple methods for getting your phone dry as rapidly as possible. So, let’s get right to it and figure out how to remove water out of the charging port on all devices.
How Do I Know If I Have Water In My Phone Charging Port?
Moisture sensors are built into both Apple and Android smartphones, and they will alert you if moisture is detected in the charging port while a charger or auxiliary connection is attached to the device.
When attempting to plug a charger or auxiliary device into a wet Android handset, the notice “Disconnect cable: Moisture has been identified” or “Unplug Charger: Moisture has been detected” appears.
For Apple devices, When a charger is inserted into a wet Apple device, it will additionally show “Charging not available: Liquid has been detected in the Lightning connection” or “Liquid found in Lightning connector: Disconnect to enable the connector to dry” if a non-power item, such as a headset, is attached.
How To Get Water Out Of A Charging Port
- Using a dry cloth or microfiber towel, dry the device’s exterior.
- Then shake or tap the device gently with the port side down to dislodge bigger droplets of water from the port.
- Allow the device to dry naturally by laying it flat, display side down, in a well-ventilated area.
- This might take anywhere from 30 minutes to a few hours, depending on the amount of moisture in the port.
What NOT To Do To Get Water Out Of A Charging Port
- Avoid using heat. While many devices are heat resistant to some level, specific components, such as the screen, battery, and seals, are more heat sensitive. Using heat to dry water in the port might cause harm to the port and device components, therefore avoid using hair dryers or ovens.
- Nothing should be inserted into the port. Cotton swabs, paper towels, tissues, and anything else that will fit are acceptable. Pushing something into the charging port might either leave debris behind or harm the connecting points.
- Do not force air into the port. Blowing air into the port may allow moisture to enter the gadget further. Because compressed air is chilly when sprayed, it has the ability to increase the quantity of moisture in the port. Cold air condenses and produces moisture.
- Isopropyl alcohol should not be used. Because isopropyl alcohol is diluted with water, you would be adding moisture to the gadget. In addition, because isopropyl alcohol is very conductive, it can transmit electrical charges generated by the gadget.
