How do you fix a wet Motorola RAZR?

Answer 1

First, don't turn it on.

You need to try Silica Gel Packets to dry out your phone. There was a good article on associatedcontent.com, http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/1028188/how_to_dry_out_your_iphone.html?cat=15, that explains how to dry a wet cell phone, iPods, or any electronics. You need to place your cell phone in a zip lock bag with Silica Gel Packets. Silica Gel will remove all the moisture from the phone and its components, something air drying will not do!

Just Google "Silica Gel Packets" and you will find several companies selling these products. There is also a web site called: http://www.SilicaGelPackets.com that has them.

Answer 2

First thing is take out the battery & let it dry---apply very low heat to facilitate or I have also heard you can cover it with rice to absorb the moisture. If this does not work your motherboard is probably fried.

My son dropped his in water & it wouldn't turn on. I removed the rear cover and battery, unscrewed the two screws that held the motherboard in place and then gently pried the mother board away from the phone body. I had another razr where the screen went bad and I switched the motherboard. It fired up and other than the fact that I have a two tone phone it works great.

You can do this without the expense of a Gel Pac. Just use plain Uncooked white rice. Uncooked rice has the same effect as silica gel pac's. Rice absorbs moisture. It just take a bit longer.

Follow all the same instructions.
