What if the charger is flooded? Can it still be used?

  Sometimes small accidents may occur in daily life, such as the charger head accidentally falling into the water, or a large amount of water near rivers, lakes, and oceans causing water vapor in the charger. What if there is water in the phone charger? If the charger is submerged in water, can it still be used? In fact, if operated properly, there are many opportunities to save chargers.

  When the charging head falls into the water, it should be promptly removed from the water. Although it does not have waterproof function, the shorter the time it comes into contact with water, the greater the chance of recovery. Secondly, remove the casing and dry it with a cloth that is highly absorbent. If the soaking time is not long, it can be naturally dried in a cool place, otherwise it needs to be blown dry with a hair dryer.

  If the humidity is high, relatively simple methods can be used to handle it. For example, rice can absorb excess water vapor from the phone charger itself, or dry it in a natural and cool place. Do not choose the dangerous method of evaporating water vapor by exposure to the sun or microwave oven.

  When the mobile phone charger gets wet, the following aspects should also be noted:

  1. Do not charge. After the charging head is submerged, everyone will feel confused about whether it can still be used. When the water is not completely drained, charging the phone can cause a short circuit in the internal components of the charging head and burn out other parts.

  2. Do not disassemble it casually. Long term immersion in water inevitably leads to sufficient water vapor in the charging head. At this point, it is indeed necessary to remove moisture, but once the casing is opened, the parts will be exposed. At this point, be careful not to touch anything on the circuit board to avoid damage. Inviting experienced people to operate would be better.

  3. Please use cold air for dehumidification. Compared to hot air, cold air has lower water removal efficiency. However, due to local high temperatures, it is easy to melt and deform circuit board components, making the charger unusable in the future. Therefore, choosing cold air for drying is more wise. Gently wipe off the moisture with a dry tissue, then blow dry with cold air or an electric fan.

  It also learned to put it in a rice jar. When placing rice cans, rice grains can easily enter the USB socket. You can gently insert the rice grains into the socket with a tissue, which not only prevents the rice grains from entering, but also facilitates their removal in the future. Of course, it can also absorb some moisture.
