Tips: Menyelamatkan HP yang 'berenang' tercelup air

Sharing. Pernah mengalami handphone (HP) Anda jatuh ke bak mandi? Ato nyemplung ke kolam? Ato terendam karena masih di kantong celana? Suatu saat nanti bila musibah seperti ini menimpa Anda, jangan panik, HP tercinta Anda masih bisa diselamatkan. Ini pengalaman pribadi: 2 minggu yang lalu, HP Nokia 9300i saya ikutan nyebur ke kolam renang. Walhasil si HP kontan langsung mati peett.. Tips berikut ini telah saya coba dan berhasil shg HP bisa digunakan seperti sedia kala.


1. Setelah tercebur air, jangan coba-coba ON-kan HP karena malah bisa berakibat rangkaian menjadi konslet.
2. Segera lepaskan bateray, simcard dan cover HP. Tujuannya adalah utk menjangkau sedalam mungkin bagian HP.
3. Keringkan HP selama 2-3 hari. Cara mengeringkan bisa dengan menjemur atau menggunakan hair-dryer. HP saya ketika itu saya masukkan dalam bagasi dan mobil dipanggang di bawah terik matahari.
4. Setelah pengeringan, coba ON-kan. Dan.... thing thung... HP Anda kembali bisa digunakan.

Bila tips ini tidak mempan mengobati HP Anda, silahkan hubungi 'dokter'.... Wassalam.
