I know this might not be exactly the right topic for here but I am so excited i need to share this story.
I dropped my cellphone in the pool. Immediately I took the battery off, rinsed it and hurried to my closest cellphone repair shop. After 8 hours I get it back and they say its a motherboard problem that they can't fix it and that I should get a new one. I paid 5 bucks for that consultation. I put the battery back in, nothing works, the keys don't work, the touch pad freezes up. I leave it on to receive calls. And it still looked wet inside, behind the screen there seemed to be water. I wondered if the shop did anything to it at all. So I read on the internet about rice's dessicant abilities and to stick a wet cellphone in rice overnight. I did, with the battery inside and turned on, and today it works perfectly! I didn't even take out the battery. An there's no water at all behind the screen. Now obviously the shop didn't take my cellphone apart or even put it into a vacuumed negative chamber or maybe a tub of dessicants because the rice worked. So there's it is. wet cellphone, rice.
