So I guess I’m not the only loser whose cell phone ended up submerged in some form of liquid, beverage, pool, or puddle.  A few months ago one of my cats scared himself on the coffee table and skidded like they do on cartoons with paws flailing over paws.  He knocked my cell phone up in the air where it twirled in slow motion flipping over itself until it darted into a bowl of water on the floor.  Unfortunately the bowl of water was salt water, yup NaCl.  Nice.  Boring story compared to what other phones have gone through with their dunks into martinis, toilets, Gatorade, and washing machines.  Here’s a few tricks to reviving your phone.
