Today! Today is the final countdown!!

If it was clay animated then yes that was SuperMansion. Funny show still need to finish season 3.

I was eating out at a restaurant earlier today and some chilli oil splashed over my phone. Unfortunately it turns out that oil counts as moisture or something according to my phone. Bottom line? My phone won't charge now even though I'm 85% sure I managed to wipe and brush out the oil out of the charging socket, even with my dad's help. So now it's stuck under rice to hopefully 'cure' it or something overnight.

If the phone really is a lost cause my dad said he'll give me his old phone, the same model as my phone, which is great and all but I really wished this whole thing didn't happen.

EDIT: Oh, and while I'm wailing on about this predicament of mine, anyone have any good suggestions how to deal with this? We tried alcohol, hairdryers, cotton swabs, etc.

Already said what I had in mind.


...Apart from salt.

Salt?

The surface tension of oil is lower than water so most of the tricks you'll find about saving a phone from water damage won't work.

The IP/moisture rating for phones is largely based on water. Oil damage is much more severe. In my opinion, your best bet at the end of the day is to open to phone and clean it with alcohol or non-conductive oil remover.

Yeah no, nevermind. Don't listen to me on that one. I just quickly read salt is bad for phones. I just thought since salt is quite absorbent, it'd work.

You heard him Gashat, use salt. Do it! Do it! Do it! Do it!

Good news everyone! My phone is back up and running again after sticking it in rice overnight. Of course, it helped that my daad scrubbed the port with alcohol as well. At least I don't have to worry about transferring passwords and apps anymore.

If anything I should make a backup in case something like this ever happens again.

If a kid asks you where babies come from just tell them from a night full of mistakes and alcohol.
