Most people today are inseparable with their smart phones and take them with you everywhere – on walks in the parks, a vacation to the sea. What to do if the device fell into the water and no signs of life, told RIA Novosti Director of strategic communications ANO "Digital platform" Alexander Gavrilov.

"There are several options how to minimize the consequences if your phone is drowned. First, the modern phones are waterproof, and if you quickly pulled, perhaps it will be unharmed. But just in case, for some time, do not use it and switch it through the day," she advises.

If the phone is not water resistant and no signs of life, do not try to turn it on, press buttons and shake it. "This can result in damage to motherboard or parts. Some elements in the phone can not be replaced, so it is easy to remain without phone", – said Gavrilov.

"don’t try to dry it yourself: this can damage the parts. The nearest will surely be able to disassemble the unit, check and in the right places dry, and not very expensive. By choosing this way you will avoid costly replacement parts or a new machine" – recommended specialist.

"and most importantly, if you lost contact and you need it, the SIM card is restored quickly and usually for free, and the phone you can borrow from friends or colleagues at work. Temporarily you can buy the cheapest phone. Today they can cost up to a thousand," she added.
