Common Mobile Phone Repair Myths – The Bowl Of Rice

Everyone’s heard of this one. The story goes that if you drop your cell phone in some kind of liquid, you can place it in a bowl of uncooked rice overnight, which will act as a desiccant and suck out all of the moisture.

Does It Work?: Sadly, no. While rice can reduce the moisture in a mobile phone, it’s usually not enough to make it functional. Rice can also leave a corrosive residue of sugar and starch that can corrode a phone’s motherboard.
