Blackberry takes a swim......

MoneyPenny · August 22nd, 2008

Can't believe it still works. My blackberry got knocked off the dash in my boat and was under water for about 10 secs.... I took it home and removed the battery, put it in a plastic bag, with some rice and left it off for the night.

Works like a charm still:thu:

Rice? Interesting trick - is that supposed to absorb the moisture?

Interesting indeed, have not heard that trick before.

Same reason you get grains of rice in salt shakers

Nice tip, remembering that one for the future

Yes, it absorbed most of it and then when I plugged it in the next day the heat from charging dried the rest out..
