How to remove water from a charging port
The gadget should be placed in a well-ventilated area, that is, an area with active air circulation. To allow gravity to help the process, leave the charging port exposed.
Let your device dry for at most 30 minutes before you check the port. If you see any moisture or an error message indicating that liquid has been detected, continue to wait.
If the smartphone is small enough that it can be held in one handed, you can gently tap it with the charging port facing downwards. This can help to drain excess water.
What to avoid when getting water out of a charging point
You should not place any foreign objects, such as a cotton-swab or a paper towel, in the charging port. This will not only increase the moisture in your device, but it could also cause damage to the internal components.
It will stop working even if it is dry. Some instructions suggest using a hairdryer to heat the gadget with hot air. This could cause your smartphone’s metal to corrode and overheat.
No matter what websites may advise, you should not leave your phone in a bowl with dry rice. It will not dry your phone any faster than the circulating air. Also, small pieces of starch or rice may get stuck in your charging port and cause damage.
Just be patient and let your device dry. When the water has dried, you’ll feel relieved and your gadget will be back to normal.
