To get liquid out of a charging port safely and effectively:
- Turn off the device immediately to prevent short circuits.
- Gently shake the device with the charging port facing downward to help push out excess water.
- Use a dry cloth or cotton swab to carefully dab and absorb any visible moisture, avoiding pushing water deeper.
- Let the device air dry in a well-ventilated area for several hours or overnight.
- If moisture remains, use compressed air or a blow dryer on low heat (held at a safe distance) to help evaporate remaining water.
- Avoid using direct heat or vigorous shaking as these can damage internal components.
- Using silica gel packs or placing the phone near a fan can speed up drying.
- Some recommend spraying pure (isopropyl) alcohol into the port as it evaporates quickly and flushes out moisture, but this should be done cautiously.
These steps reduce the risk of corrosion, short circuits, and charging problems caused by water in the port.
