Ina Fried of CNET faced one of the worst situations for a BlackBerry owner — short of dropping it off a 12-story high rise, that is. She did what 885,000 Britons do every year and dropped her phone in the toilet. It was a BlackBerry Curve, so you can imagine our concern. It’s like witnessing a particularly gruesome sports injury. No, it didn’t happen to me, but the empathetic pain borders on physical. She Googled “what to do if your cell phone gets wet,” which is a shame, because if she Googled what to do if your BlackBerry gets wet she would have found our article on BBGeeks. Unfortunately, Fried didn’t follow much of the advice. So did her BlackBerry survive the dunk in the tank? 
While we put in nice, bolded letters, wait 48 hours before re-inserting your battery, Fried got a bit impatient.
Pull out the battery. Check. Make sure everything is as dry as possible. Some suggest paper towels or those silica gel packs to absorb moisture, while others recommend a bowl of uncooked rice. The next piece of advice is to leave it be for a day or two. Don’t test it. Just let it dry out. That’s was the hard part. It just goes against human nature–or at least my nature–to just let it sit there. I must admit, I did test it several times yesterday. I saw signs of life, but it was clearly not working properly. Sometimes the power light would go on and nothing else. Other times it would show the rotating hourglass, but the screen was not back-lit.
Thankfully, this story did not end in disaster. However, this doesn’t mean that all wet BlackBerry devices will work like Fried’s. There’s just as good a chance that it never works again. She does point out that it is her nature, and is probably the nature of many of us, to keep trying, despite warnings not to. Here’s the question heading into Memorial Day weekend: Do you think you could hold off on testing your BlackBerry during the drying process? I know with my last consumer phone I tested it before a full 48 hours, and the screen was never the same again. I can’t imagine the same fate for my BlackBerry. So perhaps experience has taught me to live with the lack of a BlackBerry. But what about the readers? Do you have the willpower to leave the Berry alone for two full days?

I’ve known I should wait, but the several times I or the wife BB ot wet I have not been able to wait.
I should know better too since I dropped my first Storm in a cup of coffee with cream and sugar. Talk about screen lag! ;)
i wouldnt want to wait because it is so hard to live without the BB but if it meant living without for 2 days oppose to something potentially longer; I’d force myself to be patient!
We have an entire department in our company dedicated to fixing our many, many BBs. While I haven’t had the misfortune of dropping it in the toilet (what are the logistics of that, anyway…you’re using your BB in the bathroom?) I have come dangerously close to spilling Gatorade, grape soda, and any other number of sticky substances (vanilla milkshake, anyone?) on my dear BB Bold. Now, inadvertently flinging it across the room (think jumpy train rides everyday), that is a regular occurance!
My Curve took a dunk in the toilet a few months ago. I ripped the battery out within 5 seconds. I left the back cover off and let it dry out for 2 whole days. It was tough as I had to use my junky Sony Ericsson W600. BUT my Curve works fine today. No screen problems, no processor problems.
BE PATIENT. It works.
The advice isn’t really all that great, and is the same re-hash of a millon other sites.
You need to pull the device apart to get ALL the water out from inside it, and clean some of the sensitive areas with a cue-tip, and even with a cleaning solvent that is safe for electronics. Sunlight on the outer surface is not going to guarantee it is dry on the inside completely. And worse still, corrosion can occur in spots that were not properly swabbed clean.
There are many tutorials on how to safely disassemble a blackberry, including full videos. The devices are remarkably modular and a full tear-down can be done by anyone in a matter of minutes. The bottom anteanna assembly is the only super-sensitive area you need to be careful of. The rest is plug-and-play.
Additionally, it is wise to invest in some spare / backup parts for the blackberry. Many online stores offer them. Any of the major components can be bought as spare parts except for the mainboard. And these are for very reasonable prices. If you do a tear-down of the Blackberry and make sure the mainboard gets clean, you can replace any other part of the device that is fried and restore to brand new condition.
And finally, I would not recommend re-using the battery. Get a new one, they are cheap. It is not worth your own safety to attempt to reuse it. You cannot guarantee that it is perfectly sealed and that water did not seep into the battery. Paranoid? Maybe. But you don’t want one of those things blowing up on you, that’s for sure.
i think iphones have the sameprob, too. you can’t take them with you even to the gym. :(

I just dropped my Bold into a 1500 gallon water tank on the job site. I could not get it out right away so I just left it in there till I had time to make up a tool and retrieve it. One hour later I fished my Blackberry from the tank. I took the battery out and left it alone till that night. I know this was not long enough but the Bold came back to life. When I got it out the screen was lit up but totally white. I can’t believe that the phone still works. The clock was wrong for like a day but now is correct. I still cannot believe it is working fine.
i wouldnt want to wait because it is so hard to live without the BB but if it meant living without for 2 days oppose to something potentially longer; I’d force myself to be patient!
i just got my BB storm not even a month ago and I was at work and spilled water over me at work while doing dishes, i had a plastic cover on and i could get it off. i didnt take the battery out right away and i put it back in and i blow dried it.. but i did but it in rice and i have to wait two daysss =[ lets see what happenssss
I have went through 2 bb pearls in as many months.its frustraiting.now I’m getting a 3rd because the media player won’t play mp3,vids,or my pics.they seem to be very problematic and expensive
My BB Bold went through the wash cycle yesterday. It was only a few hours before I couldn’t stand it and had to test it. No response at all. I sure hope time heals it.
@Shannon You should have that Bold in a bucket of rice – fight the urge to turn it on until you are sure it is completely dried out
Place it in Silica Gel to begin with, but find a supply of Silica Gel. Silica Gel is the most absorbent products commercially available. It will dry out anything, including your phone. They use this stuff to pull moisture out of flowers to preserve them and you find this stuff in everything you buy from beef jerky to any piece of electronics. They use Silica Gel because it is the most absorbent product on the market and will keep their products dry.
I just got the original iPhone (don’t laugh at me) and got it wet, I only found out while trying to return under warranty they included a moisture sensor and I was screwed. I just covered the phone with Silica Gel and waited 2-3 days and it seemed to work perfectly and the moisture from screen was gone.
Just Google for Silica Gel Packets and you will find plenty of suppliers. I used http://www.SilicaGelPackets.com as they offer expedited shipping options and I got it promptly.
I dropped my curve in a puddle and it was there for at least 10 minutes, i fished it out and took out the battery, sim card, and memory card.
I emerged it in rice or 48hrs and took it out to find that it did work(tho I used a new battery)but my screen which had a small crack in it, was all white. I was hoping do you think if I put it back in teh rice I could help my screen?
i dropped my blackberry on the sink accidentally. only the surface is wet, i pulled out the battery immediately, blow dry it, and now its inside a bowl of rice with silica gel. i put it by the window, its at night, so there’s no sun yet. lets hope it works. i’ll somehow be patient for 2 days. and i’ll post back if it does work.
I sent my new blackberry 8520 curve through the wash and about 10 minutes in the dryer. is there any hope?? before reading this i obviously tried right away and nothing happened. ill wait for the couple days and hope it works.
@Ray – There is always hope! Good luck!
Hi there,
I dropped my phone into the sea yesterday (I was out on worktrip to inspect beach resorts) and managed to grab it back before the waves took it. It was there for less than 1 minute.
When I took it out from water, the screen slowly blanked off and the backlight (some light behind the BB). I took out the battery and left it to dry. I tried to put in the battery last night, thinking it might have dried off and it has this broken radio transmission sound everytime I slot the battery in. The backlight comes on as well.
Is it gone already?
@Kerrine Try sticking it in some rice for a couple days – being that it was dropped in salt water though it may not work.
Good luck.
Hi Everyone,
I spilled a glass of water on my blackberry and it stopped working. I took the battery out and left it in rice for 2 days.
It was one of the hardest things I have ever done, but after 2 days I put the battery back in and it works! I couldn’t believe it!
Anyways, the rice thing actually works, you just have to have the patience and wait 2 days!
@Morgan Excellent! Glad it went well.
We’ll took the kids swimming today, and after being in the pool for about 45 minutes noticed that my bb curve was still in my pocket the screen was FULL of water. This happened hours before I found this site, so her i am with a curve that rings only on vibe, i can call from it and someone can call me but i can hear them but no one can hear what i say and my screen don’t lite up but the keyboard do. I did not have a back up and tried to do one but it don’t seem to be working sadly……My warrenty covers it and they are sending me a new one but I really need the data from this one. Is there any hope????
@lisa – put your phone in rice immediately – try powering on and connecting to desktop manager after 48 hours.
Good luck – let me know what happens at that point. There is a slim chance you can recover your data.
hey…well my BB was wet because of my vodca…and now my screen doesn`t work :( I take out the battery and let him 2 days to dry but also nothing!i can speak on my blackberry ,the music is all ok …but my screen sucks!
I can`t see anything on my screen cause is black.I heard that the most people say that the screen is white.What can i do?please help me!!my id is: r_b_n2000@yahoo.com thx a lot
@Ramon put it in some rice and try it again after a day or so. Some components may have been damaged causing the screen to go black. One thing to check for is once you have turned the device back on again look for a flash of the red LED when you plug it into your computer via usb.
That flash indicates life in the device and makes it possible to recover in most cases. Here is a post on how to recover a nuked blackberry:
http://www.blackberryos.com/forums/blackberry-how-guides/6175-how-recover-nuked-blackberry-pictures.html
I got caught in substantial rain with the phone. The phone worked afterward but once the battery drained I couldn’t get it to recharge. I got a new battery and everything works but the trackpad and the camera. I have dried it out in rice. I can connect to the device manager
I can use the trackpad as an enter button but it does not go up/down or left/right so so I can’t access any applications. Also I can’t see the screen except inside.
Should I do another rice soak or is it too late.. thanks!
@kjrsmart You can always try the rice again. Although I am not sure that is going to solve the issue. If the rice does not work then try a couple battery pulls in a row. Still no luck, look at reloading the OS.
I’m giving my bb a rice bath as suggested… do you think it’ll work if the liquid soaking it was a toddler’s saliva? He was also sick, so it might have gotten a bit snot in there too… I’m thinking because it’s much thicker it did more damage than water would have. He didn’t have it in his mouth for long at all, but my screen is black and I can only hear alerts on it. Power light comes on which gives me hope that I can recover my data. ~*sigh*~ two days huh?
Lord help me.
@LaIri There is a chance that there will still be residue on the components after the rice but be patient and wait the full two days.
If the screen still does not work you can hook up to your PC and backup your data etc. The LED activity indicates that data recovery is likely.
Once your data is backed up, you can try bathing your device in distilled water and then repeating the rice treatment. The water bath has been proven to get rid of residue left from other types of liquids on occasion.
I spilled something sticky on my Blackberry Bold keyboard. The phone comes on fine, I can see if I have messages etc, however the keyboard is shot and will not allow me to ready anything. I have put it in rice a few days and that didn’t work. Is there a way to clean the keyboard or get it working again. Thanks
@Twilson The rice trick is only useful for water or other non sugary liquids. The problem with other liquids is that they leave a residue on the device and components that can cause damage.
Your keyboard can be removed and cleaned using a qtip and some rubbing alcohol. Head over to youtube and search for instruction on how to take apart you model of Bold – there are videos everywhere.
Good luck.
Blackbery Keyboard not working – SOLVED !
I had moisture problem – dancing at the club got all sweaty and my BB in my pants pocket died. Talk about your phone dying when you`re about to ask for chick`s phone number. Lol.
It would boot but keyboard was not responsive. I searched everywhere but found no solution. So I opened it up following disassembly instructions – be careful not to use too much force or you`ll break it. Had to get fancy torx screwdriver. Took it apart, found white plastic covering contacts under the keyboard buttons. Carefully peeled the plastic to expose contacts and voila – noticed some corosion in two places using a magnifying glass.
Took some q-tip, moistened it with rubbing alcohol, rubbed all contacts on the keyboard, then rubbed with a dry end of q-tip, made sure to dry it all out, reapplied the plastic back on, reassembled BB, reinserted the battery and it booted fine and keyboard worked like new.
I think what happened was the contacts are really close to each other so a little bit of moisture shorts those contacts and keyboard logic circuit shuts down and keyboard becomes . After cleaning it up, contacts become clean again and it works like a charm.
Hi. I took my bb into the bathroom with me and had it faced down on the sink. I didn’t know the faucet leaked and only my screen and keys were in the water. I put it in the rice but when I turn it on I can’t go anywhere other then my home screen and my keys aren’t working.
when i put the battery in the led light flashes every once in awhile n the blackberry restore screen comes on but then fades away. is my blackberry screwed or is it still working? or is it just the battery?
my bb had spin in the washing machine, I am drying out and have reverted back to my LG Shine :( am totally lost without it….. hope she recovers :( x
I was sick on my bb on friday night, according to my mum it was working fine that night but it has just stopped working now. what should i do?
@briony I would soak it in distilled water then do the rice trick.
Of course I found this site after Googling “blackberry got wet.” I pulled the battery out and let it sit for a while. It would all be fine right now if my keyboard worked! I need to get at my calendar…ARGGHHHH!!!
I spilled Infant formula on my BB Torch. I was making the G-baby one of those disposable bottles with the liners I shook the thing up & it burst all over my phone I did the rice thing for a few days… it loads you can see the stains in the touch screen but it still works ! But none of the buttons work. under the touch screen or keyboard and some of the keyboard lights are out. Is this Tourch now trashed?
Hi, I just got home soooo tired from work n decided to hv some coffee but apparently my bb wanted some too. When I put the cup of coffee on the table I dropped on my bb9780.

When I put it back my phone was dead n it won’t start. I used the hair dryer n nothing happen right now I just put it inside the bag of rice. Plz any suggestion I don’t want to buy another on dis is only 1mth old!,,, plz help!!!
Hi I dropped my BB Bold in the toilet and I had heard the rice trick, so put it in rice. (however I didn’t realise it was for 2 days) Only left mine in a couple of hours then I left it on a shelf, with the battery out.
I put it back together and the LED light is lit and it keeps switching on with the blackberry start up screen, but then it switches off again.
What do I do? Do I need to put it back in rice? Please help.
I have own a bb tour and curve only tried to 2 u a hairdryer on the tour wen it got wet mi keyboard is not working is not working but i can still access it from cpu. need help please
I was at the water park today w/ my 3 year old son, I had my BB Storm 2 laying on the lounger while changing him to go home and he through my phone in the kiddie pool-it was maybe there not even 10 seconds and did have a silicone cover on it. The thing is while at first I took everything apart set it out for a few put it back together saw the hour glass, then nothing, then a little while later it was acting like it does after your phone dies or reboots but 3/4 the way through it stopped. I got home and put it on the charger-the red light came on, it showed it was charging-i was excited b.c i had left it taken apart on the way home hoping for it to dry out. I came back in and it had stopped charging and couldn’t get it to go anything! My questions is, I have Verizon and have, well my son has ruined two BB’s from water/pop and I didn’t and still don’t have the insurance, but my battery part that is suppose to turn pink is still crisp white, same w/ the inside of the phone and on the way home I was able to get the moisture out of the camera area and the power light thing-i do have a year warrany-and it is a refurbished phone that has been freezing up etc, so could they tell it was water damage since it technically shows no water damage!? Please help:( My Mom is going to flip out!!!
my curve was stuck in the toilet for about a week, after being flushed. i got it out and took it apart and put it in rice. is there any chance it will work again? or is it shot? any help will be greatly appreciated
hey i accidently dropped my bb in my pool. i can see water marks in my lcd scrren and the red water sensor. when i got home i just left it on my couch and prayed it will work. wht should i do when i charge it the red light wont even show. when i put the battery in it makes this weird sound need help asap
I dropped my phone twice in the tolit and broke the screen and it is still working! :)
When I first dropped it. I was soo worried. I toke every part of the phone that will come off and can be put back on in a bag of rice. Then I toke a Dryer Sheet and I wrapped my whole battery and Phone in it and stuck it in the bag of rice and I let it set there for 2 whole days without touching it. You just gotta have patience. My sister dropped her phone in the tolit and it doesn’t work cause she couldn’t wait. YOU HAVE TO HAVE PATIENCE! TRUST ME, IF YOU DO WAIT. IT WILL PROBABLY WORK(IF YOU GOT IT OUT LIKE SUPER FAST BUT IF YOU JUST LET IT STAY IN THE WATER FOR 25 SECONDS OR LONGER ITS GONE.. MAYBE.)
@jkimer PUT IN A BAG OF RICE!! ASAP! DON’T WAIT. DO NOT TURN IT ON! DON’T THINK THAT PUTTING YOUR PHONE UNDER A BLOW DRYER WILL DRY YOUR PHONE. IT WILL BUT IT COULD FRY FOR PHONE SO DON’T DO THAT!!
I spilled a martini on my bb tonight …. it worked at first then it froze so i turned it off. As soon as i got home i had it in a rice bath … what can i do to see if it still works?
@rin omg, that sucks. similar thing happened to mine, except it was margarita. it’s still sitting in rice. did it work when you turned it on?? if so how long did you wait before you tried??
my blackberry had fallen in water bucket i hav immediately taken out my battery bt my mistake i hav tried to drie it up by drier and tried to start it up again by inserting battery can it be fixed???
I suppose I am one of the lucky few…I dropped my black berry in the pool and immediately got it out (dress clothes and all, I turned it on in a frantic moment and it sputtered and died. I ran to the bathroom and pulled out the battery to use the hair dryer…it would not work…so I brought it home and left the battery out, and the phone alone for 2 days…it is now working! I just now have a cool water bubble in my screen to play with!
my blackberry 8900 fell off my bed in the night while i was sleeping and fell into a cup of hot chocolate, there was only i little bit of water in the mug, as soon as i woke up i pulled it out and it wass till working apart from everytime i pressed the space bar a ‘N’ come up to. its turned off now !! i need it back fast as its the 5th blackberry my parents have bought me in 10 months!
Mine just got wet.. I left it under my pillow for a week without the battery n it works but wen I went to the company i bought it from they opened it up n took a pic of how much water was in it.. I was rlly shocked. They said that it’ll work but I need to get it checked? Coz they can’t fix it because it was my fault not theirs.. It work n the scroll works but it doesn’t click… Some how i can use my ‘back’ button as the ‘click’ button but I’m just worried if it will stop working? I’ve had my bberry cube for about 8 months but I changed it twice n so I’ve had my current one for about 3 – 4 months.. If I use the rice technique wud it work? It’s been a month since I’ve used it..
I’ve heard of that technique before but apparently it does not always work? But im just wondering what should i do and it has been a month and I only just found out today that there was water in it, they said they removed as much as they could so would the rice technique work for me?
I know that this didn’t really make sense but please help me!!!
i dropped my fone, into a toilet bowl …. it was a clean toilet thank god, it switched off and refused to go on, a friend of mine told me about the rice bath, i went home 3 hours later and put it in the rice bath, after 30 some odd hours i decided to try the phone ..i put in the battery .. and my fone works ….everything works ….. thank god …
I’ve had my blackberry for exactly 3 weeks! I just dropped it in the toilet? Should i put it in the rice? The thing is it actually looks quite dry? Is it just that its wet underneath?
I would, Charlotte. Make sure to remove the battery. The damage to the BlackBerry comes from the water that gets into the circuit boards.
I aca=identally knocked over some hot chocolate and some of it spilt on my friends bag. In her bag was her blackberry. She just wiped it and it was fine. About 5 minutes later the top of the screen went funny. Then she switched it off and on again and the screen went white. The message light was still on. We dried everything (the battery, the sim card… etc) but it still didnt work. But the thing is she tried phoning her mum and it still worked. so we think some hot chocolate is stuck behind the sceen. My friend phoned her as well and she could pick up and everything. I feel so guilty. What should we do?????? please help!
i have a white blackberry curve 9300, today i dropped it in a puddle while i was walking out to get the mail, i picked it up and i ran inside, and started to freak out, i watched a video on how to take it apart and i only got the piece at the bottom off underneath the keys, after this i sat it up on the side of a bowl and i put tons of rice on it, just before i put it in the rice i turned it on, the screen worked perfectly fine and the vibrate worked to, but it asked me to put in my password and i typed it in and it was saying wrong password, i came to realize that most of the keys work but some must not, any suggestions on what i should do????
My son tokk my Blackberry Bold and immersed it in a bucket of water. When I took it from him the srcreen was on and them it went blank but the power light remained on. I then took out the battery and dried it up and left it there. Will it work again if i put in the rice and assemble it after 2 days?
Hi.

Please help i want to save my phone.
My blackberry bold fell in the toilet yesterday. I left it in rice overnight and have yet to go check on it. I’m in agony without it and don’t know how much longer I can leave it for…
Hey, I dropped my blackberry 8520 in the clean toilet earlier today, immediately I got the phone out and pulled the battery and sim card out and dried it thouroughly. When I tried the phone out the loading screen came on and after 10 seconds the screen went white. I have placed it in a small container of rice with the lid on and have left it on the window ledge. Is there anything else I can do help my phone work again and is the screen messed up for good?
Please help , thanks Sam.

I was using my phone out in the pouring down rain. I got back working but was really, really slow. I tried going to the Virgin Media shop where it was originally bought from and they said because it is water damage they cant do anything about it but they did suggest putting it fully in a bowl of rice,to suck out all the moisture. So we did just that it has been left now for 24hours+ it turns on and reboots itself but it gets about half way and switched back off again, is this going to work. My dad turned it back on and it rebooted all the way and when i went to use it none of the buttons were working. What shall i do?x
So today I had orange juice between my legs and my blackberry on my stomach and someone was driving….Long story short it fell.. However only half of my phone was submerged in OJ! And I had it one for about 5 minutes with absolutely no problem..all of the buttons worked. I took it apart and let it dry in my coat..Then two hours later I bought rice and its been sitting in it for about 6 hours. I turned it on about 4 hours ago and it worked fine, but i have decided to not touch it.. How long should I let it sit in the baggie of rice?
Okay, so.
I just went outside with my Blackberry Torch and got in my pool. I had it on the side in a towel but it got knocked off. I saved the towel and my phone sunk to the bottom. I immediately got it out and ran in the house and it was on and working but i took out the battery and stuff to dry it off and it wont come back on. I took my sim card out but my media card and my battery and thephone itself i have put in rice.Should i remove the media card? And do you think there is any chance of recovery? This phone has been dropped in a puddle of rain water without even turning the sticker red so its a trooper! Although needless to say the sticker is red now. :/
Please help soon!! Thanks!
So i waited 48 hours and my phone is as good as new. Everything works, and no screen spots either! Sooo happy. Kepping this phone as long as possible! <3333
*Keeping,lol.
Hello, yesterday I was at the beach when a huge wave came up and got all my stuff wet. My blackberry pearl was on the bottom of the bag, and barely got wet, but it wasn’t working so I took the battery out and tried to dry all the contents thoroughly. When I got home 5 minutes later, I tried to put the battery back in several times, with no luck. I tried drying it with a hair dryer on low setting, no luck. I then placed it in a bag of uncooked rice overnight, admitting I tried turning it on a few times. Now the screen stays black but I’m hearing the tone as if I’m getting messages. What next?
I dropped my curve 9300 in the pool but got it out after 3 seconds so I checked the battery and it was light pink with a few white spots. I tried switching it on a few times but wouldn’t switch on until after a day and everything was working fine apart from the trackpad wasn’t working at all . After that I put it in rice for about a day checking it regulary, trackpad still not working :( . Just put it in rice again and I’m going to leave it alone for 2 days but what shall I do if it doesn’t work?
i dropped my curve in the toilet and dried it out the best i could. the indicator is bright red and i put the battery back in and took it out and tried to power on. obviously didnt work but it wasnt til about an hour later that i put it in rice. before then i also stupidly tried the hair dryer on a cool heat but then read the bbgeeks advice. will my phone work??
i recently dropped my blackberry in a toilet, ot was a clean toilet. i took the phone straight out of the toilet and put it under a hand dryer, i let it dry for a bit then went down the stairs to my parents, my screen was on for a few seconds then it slowly went off, i had a tiny crack on my screen and water got in that. i could still see a few things on my blackberry and it was still working fine but i couldn’t see anything, we immediately took the battery and sim card out of the phone, then dried the phone with tissues while my dad bought some rice, we put the phone and battery in the rice and left it in there, i will be checking the phone tomorrow night, whats going to happen, do you think it will work?
I went 2 the beach and went in the Sea and I dropped it in the sea and the went home and searched it on google and it said put it in a bowl of rice 4 48 hours and I did and it is 2 day and it still aint working .
