!9# I Dropped My Razr Cell Phone in the Toilet Bowl - And Saved it

I wasn't careful. It was early morning. I was daydreaming. I was getting dressed in the bathroom and in the process my RAZR phone slipped out of my jeans back pocket and dropped into the toilet bowl. In a split second my RAZR phone was submerged entirely by water.

Here's what I did. It may save your phone too, but you have to act fast.

Immediately remove the RAZR phone from the water and switch it off. The next step is to quickly remove the battery using the access door at the back of the cell phone.

You should now remove the sim card as quickly as possible. Removing the sim card will open up a space at the back of the phone which will enable you to dry the inside of the phone more efficiently.

After removing the battery and sim card, you should vigorously shake out any loose water from your phone. Now take a hair dryer and dry the inside of the phone. Point the dryer into all open areas of the RAZR cellphone front and back.

Point the hair dryer directly into the void created by the sim card. Be patient. You should keep the hair dryer blowing on the phone for at least 15 minutes. Set your phone down on a counter while doing this so your hand doesn't get hot. Warning: Do NOT put your cellphone into the oven to dry it as this may cause permanent damage.

After drying your cellphone for at least 15 minutes, let it cool down and then reinstall the sim card and battery.

If your RAZR cellphone was submerged in water for only a few seconds, you have a good chance of getting your phone operating again.

Good luck!
