My buddy swore a hair dryer could fix a wet phone, and I was desperate.

Phone fell in a sink full of water, and he said to put it in a bag of rice for a day, then hit it with low heat from a hair dryer for five minutes. It actually worked, the screen came back on. Is the hair dryer part safe, or did I just get lucky?

Glad it worked out lol, that's always such a relief. The hair dryer is a bit risky though, you probably got lucky it didn't fry anything.

That trick can melt the glue inside the phone.
