How do i fix my nextbook tablet when it has been dropped in water

Did you try the bag of rice trick?

Clean water, I hope, otherwise chances are much worse. DON'T turn it on. Pat it dry as much as possible, then completely bury it in a sealed jar of uncooked rice for maybe 3 days. After that, try turning it on. If nothing, try charging for several hours. If still nothing, sorry!

This is probably water damaged. You MIGHT get lucky with keeping it (powered off) in a bag of rice to wick the moisture out of the tablet and into the rice. Keep it there for a few days to keep it from getting damaged any further.

You damaged the display screen. It needs to be replaced with a new one. It will not be a cheap repair. Estimated cost to repair is around 175.00. It will be cheaper to buy a new nextbook tablet.

• Act fast. Assume your phone is going to be alright and take immediate action.
• Do not attempt to switch the phone on to see if it's still working. You risk doing further damage by shorting components.
• Remove the battery, SIM card and MicroSD card if you have one.
• Dry as much as you can by hand with a towel, and blow out water from all the crevasses with a can of compressed air. If you don't have a can handy, do it by mouth.
• Submerge your phone in a bowl of dry rice (this will absorb surrounding moisture), or if you have them, moisture absorbing crystals like the ones you get in satchels with electronic gadgets. No you can't use left over fried rice from last nights Chinese takeaway.
• Wait at least 24 hours before trying to boot the phone.
• There are no guarantees your phone will be resurrected.

Before you take it anywhere why not try this idea. I had an iphone that was dropped in the bath tub full of water. I tried to dry it with a hair dryer but it did not work. My oldest daughter told me to put it in a plastic bag of dry white rice and seal it closed. Let it stay in the bag for a few days to give the rice time to absorb the water that is in the phone. I did this and left it for four days and removed it from the rice and the phone started working right away. Its worth a try.

This is touchy first of all, DO NOT attempt to turn it on, if you have done so this may be too late.

Things you will need; Silica Gel Packs if you can get them, or a bag of rice.

Put the iPad into a seal able bag with the silica gel packs or the rice (the rice can be loose) for at least 72 hours. This should take all the moisture out of the tablet. You can use also a seal able tupperware box but you need to emerge the ipad inside the dry rice.

It goes without saying the rice should NOT be cooked rice. I hope this helps you. Have a great day

Put it in a large bowl. Then add rice. Rice has a habit of soaking up water. After a few days try your luck and turn it on.

first thing i got to ask..did you try using a hair dryer on low heat to dry your hair and tablet after u figured out eletronics and water dont mix?
next time try a ziplock bag to keep it dry..ahaah. just kidding.
here is a link i use to walk customers thru opening up a tablet..follow it close.. if open it up and use a soft cloth and gently dap any standing water..then let it AIr dry for 24hrs..then if still not working..plug in power for while to warm up..use a hair dryer on low to dry any hard to reach spots..if it still doent power up...use it for a soap holder and buy new one
good luck
chad man

let it sit and dry
