Dropped your Mobile Phone or iPod in Water?04.22.08

Ever experienced something like this before? Luckily I haven’t but after reading this, I’m sure I’ll not worry too much as I know the solution of it. However, the doubt is still there. I guess, I need to do some experiment to prove that this is true! Should give it a try with my iPod Nano then. Kidding! ;)

What is the next step that you would take if your expensive mobile phone or iPod gets wet in the rain or your drop it in a wash basin?

Such accidents are not very uncommon. Adam Curry once dropped his iPhone in the toilet. Venadium went for a swim while the iPod was still in his pocket. Leo Laporte did something similar to his cell phone. Virgo soaked his iPod when a bottle of Diet Coke fell over his trousers.

Since the warranty for most electronics does not cover water damage, what can you do to revive that wet gadget ? The answer is in your kitchen.

Power off the device (if it’s not off already) and try to completely cover the iPod or iPhone in a bowl of rice. Rice being a natural desiccant will help absorb the excess moisture. Let it try for at least 24 hours and DO NOT try to charge the device.

This home-remedy is cheap and worth giving a try before you rush to the Apple store for a replacement.

Ernesto Londoño successfully managed to fix his wet BlackBerry phone after he left the device soaked overnight in a bowl of uncooked rice.

Try This If You Are BROKEN HEARTED…02.24.08

Written by Luke

What do normally people do when the are broken hearted? Let see now, fell in to depression, thinking about commit suicide, get wasted and turn to something else for comfort like drinking and drugs etc,etc,etc..

Why don’t you do this instead, try to find all your old friends and make new ones. Go out and be seen everyway. Don’t care about your ex-lover and what he/she may think. Do you know that going shopping when you are suffering from a broken heart really helps? No wonder the girls love doing it when they are sad or stress out. Getting something for yourself really does make you feel good. I know because I’ve done it when I had my heart broken. I bought myself new clothes and accessories myself with new watches and other stuff. Oh man! How good I feel with everything on. Now that you are single again, you would have more money to spend on yourself. So pamper yourself people..

I know it won’t be easy in the earlier stages because you still have the hearts for that person and you go wondering what went wrong and start blaming yourself for everything that has happened. Don’t worry about what went wrong and whose fault it was, it’s basically over. The more you try to patch things up, the more worse it’s going to be. So might as well just leave it like that, drop everything that you have put in to that relationship and start fresh.

There is this saying that goes like this, ‘don’t go trying to find the right one because you won’t find him/her, instead when the right one comes along, you will know it straight from your heart’. So cheer up and do yourself a big favor, you might never know that the next one is the ‘ONE’ for you!

 

Note : Thanks for the tips Luke, guess I should do the same too!!! I keep on blaming myself for things that happened. I shouldn’t have to and yup, it’s time to move on and take things as it is… ;)

    I went to the Tip of Borneo (or Simpang Mengayau as the locals call it)recently! It is one of the main attraction in Kudat where you can see the stunning view of the South China Sea. It's awesome...The above picture was taken using a Canon DSLR Rebel XT/350D with Tamron Zoom Telephoto AF 75-300mm f/4.0-5.6 lens... ^_^
