Maybe it's the warming, soon to be spring weather and maybe it's just people being people. Whatever the reason, I've seen an increase in wet cell phone repair requests. Over the past year, I've amassed quite the collection of corrosion damage photos. This corrosion is mostly from phones that got wet, then got tossed into rice. The more time that ticks by without actually trying to remove the water and subsequent corrosion, the worse the problem becomes. While the problem may have originated in dropping the phone in water, it is magnified many times over when you do something silly, like toss it in rice.
