[Hidden-tech] Reviving a smartphone dropped in snowbank

[Christian Lagier]

If u can, immediately take out battery. One layer of kitchen towel/paper around it and then in a bowl of rice (uncooked :-), covered with lid or Saran wrap, for a couple of days. Will suck out all humidity. Cross your fingers the entire time.
