Hello, on this episode of Hacker Public Radio, I will talk about how I fixed my new-to-me-used
|
||
|
|
Samsung admirer by Drowningit.
|
||
|
|
That kind of claim needs a disclaimer, so here it is.
|
||
|
|
First of all, if you do try this at home, as I did, only do it after you have exhausted
|
||
|
|
all other options, just as I did, or perhaps you can think of some that I did not think of.
|
||
|
|
Anyway, to the story that tells the situation, I bought this phone.
|
||
|
|
I bought this phone for a drunk price, knowing that it had been dropped in the snow and had
|
||
|
|
unknown battery problems with it.
|
||
|
|
I feel like I need to back up and say that I have had a number of smartphones before.
|
||
|
|
There were none of them had Windows, iOS, or BlackBerry on them.
|
||
|
|
So I had this at my ear, and at first it was hard to power on.
|
||
|
|
It would not even power unless it was while charging, eventually that stopped with regular
|
||
|
|
charging in a new battery.
|
||
|
|
But other battery power issues remained, and new ones actually arose, like constantly
|
||
|
|
beeping and buzzing, like it does when you plug in the charger.
|
||
|
|
But this was random and almost constant.
|
||
|
|
The problem with snow or mud puddles, and particularly snowed by sidewalks, is that they have
|
||
|
|
unknown dirt metals, and especially with sidewalks, no salt.
|
||
|
|
So it needed to be rinsed safely, and likely not just a battery contacts.
|
||
|
|
An old-time unix cake from way back that I know locally told me about rinsing in distilled
|
||
|
|
water.
|
||
|
|
Now, I know a bit about what to do if your phone gets wet by accident, but to dunk it
|
||
|
|
on purpose, well, I told him that I would have to think about it.
|
||
|
|
And this person, and I, are really fairly close.
|
||
|
|
I know that he does not lie about stuff like that.
|
||
|
|
It was me that I was concerned about.
|
||
|
|
But he replied to me that he would buy the phone from me at five more dollars than what
|
||
|
|
I paid for it, and he would do it for himself, perv this advice.
|
||
|
|
OK, geek challenged take him, I can't pass that up.
|
||
|
|
And he knew it, so I got the distilled water, and I borrowed a hairdryer.
|
||
|
|
A hairdryer, you might be asking, I know I did.
|
||
|
|
But my friend told me that he thinks that the phone still being wet as part of the problem
|
||
|
|
he sees with the sealed container of rice idea.
|
||
|
|
So I was careful to set the dryer on the lowest heat level just as he said.
|
||
|
|
After what I call a long time, after the phone was no longer dripping wet, and I had
|
||
|
|
dried out the outside totally, I put it down and sealed the container of rice for about
|
||
|
|
a week and a half.
|
||
|
|
That was a long week and a half.
|
||
|
|
I had already grown used to having the phone.
|
||
|
|
Most people buy these in buyers, not no $400.
|
||
|
|
But most people buy $400 phones, and do not realize that they're hand-held computers.
|
||
|
|
Or if they do realize that, that does not mean much because all they ever do if a desktop
|
||
|
|
is Facebook and solitary.
|
||
|
|
Anyway, so I was dying in the waiting, but it worked, and I am recording this episode
|
||
|
|
of HPR on it now, and it does not beep and buzz like crazy.
|
||
|
|
The battery does not drain in 5 hours, but last as long as I might expect it to normally.
|
||
|
|
I do use Juice Defender.
|
||
|
|
That was no help at all before I dunked the phone.
|
||
|
|
Okay, that is this episode of HPR.
|
||
|
|
I hope it was entertaining and helps you as much as it did me, truly.
