- a lot less than drowning it will do lmao
the drying out method is perfectly safe when we're talking an electric fan oven which maintains the temp exactly at 40C and with the phone submerged inside a bowl of rice....its hotter inside my pants
its amazing how some people think theyre experts yet blatently know nothing.Jake Storm likes this.09-15-11 10:00 PMLike 1 - oops....it went down the pan...literally
was in its pouch, so I grabbed it back quickly, removed any surface water, all was ok, then the call hang up key started producing mnmnmn when pressed, so Ive switched it off, put face down in a bowl of rice in the oven at 40C for a few hours......Jake Storm likes this.09-15-11 10:20 PMLike 1 - The problem here is that you didn't pull out the battery as soon as you pulled it out of the water. Instead, you waited to see if anything was wrong with the phone first. Water takes a little time to seep into the phone, and any short circuits will not happen right away. That's why it's important to remove the battery and cut off all the current before too much water covers the circuit board. Your phone might be toast, otherwise.09-15-11 11:31 PMLike 0
- 40C or 104F is still higher than what MOST electronic sensors, capacitors, ICs and resistors can stand. So, it WILL cook some of the silicon and other bi-metals that melts or deform around or under that temperature. Most electronics are only designed to work at max temp of 35C or less for more than 1 hour under that condition. In other words if you keep your phone at constant 40C for an hour or so, the phone will most likely break or bake LOL
Just because of silicon melting point is 1410 �C doesn't mean you have pure silicon in the phone. The impurities have much lower melting temps.
Seriously though...you need to go back and reread - or take a course on electronic components, particularly on the myths /fallacies and so-called expert opinions surrounding them...because from your post, I'd gather that cars, trucks and a million other things will not operate in these temps....without serious risk of failure.
104 degrees will "cook silicone"? Really? So...silicone hooters would cook in those temps too? Better let my G/F know, cuz she has an appt to get some nice silicone man-made's real soon! Wow...
Dude, you haven't got a clue...really.09-16-11 12:00 AMLike 0 - 40C or 104F is still higher than what MOST electronic sensors, capacitors, ICs and resistors can stand.

I'm working on moving someplace cooler btw. LOL!
If it gets to hot they have to close the airport since the tarmac gets sticky. We get some serious heat here.09-16-11 12:35 AMLike 0
