[Hidden-tech] Reviving a smartphone dropped in snowbank

[Bruce Hooke]

Unfortunately he's already done what you shouldn't do in this situation
which is power up the device. But it still may be savable. One thing to try
is put it in some rice. Rice is good at absorbing water. If there are things
(like a battery cover) that you can open up to allow more air circulation to
the inside without allowing rice to get into bad places do that before
putting the phone in rice.

Hi all,

A friend dropped his smartphone in a snow bank this morning and after it
worked for a short while, it powered off and won't work now.

I have not had this happen, and I will be Googling for answers, but
meanwhile, I know some of you probably have a solution to offer.

I know his carrier is Metro PCS and I am fairly certain the phone is one of
the Samsung Galaxy series.

He has had to work all day, so has not had a chance to go to the Metro PCs
store to inquire.

Thanks :)
Deb
