A Simple Guide For Fixing Wet Phones …

 

A Simple Guide for Fixing Wet Phones.

About 80% of the population today has cell phones, and they carry them around wherever they go. While they are incredibly high-tech and useful, they have one drawback, the worst enemy of nearly every electronic device: water. And it’s not just water, anything that gets your phone wet puts it at risk of shutting down, forever.

Nearly 30% of cell phone owners damage their phones by spilling drinks on them every year, and over 850,000 phones meet their end at the bottom of the toilet. However, just because your phone got wet or went for an unexpected swim, doesn’t mean it’s broken beyond repair. With this simple guide of do’s and don’ts, there is a good chance you can bring your phone back to life!

wet phoneThe first and most important thing you should do if your phone gets wet is to turn it off (if it’s still working). Do not try to turn it on “just to see if it works” as any water inside might cause a short circuit and damage vital parts of the phone. It’s better to first dry it off, using the following steps, and then see if it works once it’s safe to turn it on.
Another important thing is not to shake and move your phone too much. If any water has gotten inside, moving the phone around will just make the water flow into unaffected places that might still be dry. I know it’s hard not to panic, but acting in a slow and calm manner might save your phone.
wet phoneNow carefully take your wet phone and place it on a dry paper or cloth towel. Dry the outside of the phone as best as you can, and be gentle so you won’t force any more liquid inside.
wet phoneOnce you are done with the outside remove any cases, covers or shells the phone might have, and then remove the battery and the SIM card. Dry them using a dry towel the same way as you did the outside.
Now before we get to the next step on how to dry your phone, I want to go over some of the worst ways to do it. These are ways that might dry your mobile device, but destroy it at the same time. Never use any of these methods to dry your phone: Don’t blow on it with a hairdryer, place it on or under an oven, or put it in the microwave.
wet phone         wet phonewet phone
And now we get to how you should dry your phone, and the answer is very simple: the liquid absorbing power of rice. Use a big bowl or a bag and place the phone without its cover and battery inside. Fill the bowl with enough rice to completely cover the phone from all sides, simple white rice works best. Don’t be scrimpy, you need to have a good amount of rice around the phone to absorb all of the moisture.
The ideal time to leave your phone like this may change depending on how wet it got. The safest thing is to leave it in the rice overnight but in some cases even six hours will do. When you take the phone out gently clean it with a soft brush or a vacuum clear, put all the parts back together and turn it on.

While it might not always work if your phone was too wet, or was in the water for too long, it’s still the best and safest way to dry it. Be sure to open the case from time to time after you get it working again to check for any possible corrosion. If your phone still doesn’t work go to a repair lab and hope that the electronic parts that were damaged can be replaced.

Good luck!

” A Dramatic Goal in the last 20 Seconds ” … That is FIFA World Cup !!!

How Switzerland Scored The Most Dramatic Goal Of The World Cup

So Far !!!

CORK GAINES  IN Business Insider Au

 

In a sudden turn of events in the final seconds of their opening match, Switzerland took advantage of Ecuador’s own missed opportunity and scored the most improbable and dramatic goal of the World Cup so far, giving the Swiss the win with just 20 seconds remaining.

It looked like Switzerland and Ecuador were headed towards the first tie of the World Cup. But in the final minute of stoppage time, Ecuador took advantage of a bad pass by Switzerland and started what looked like a promising counter-attack.

Switzerland World Cup

Ecuador’s Antonio Valencia had a full head of steam and with four defenders back, it looked like he had a direct path to the goal and a chance for an open shot as the defenders were waiting for the cross.

As a defender closes in on Valencia he plays a perfect cross to an open teammate.

But instead of taking a one-timer or an immediate shot, the Ecuadorian player hesitated, allowing two Swiss players to converge on the ball and close off any shooting lanes.

A nice sliding tackle by one defender causes Ecuador to turn the ball over without even taking a shot.

Rather than defend the ball, three of the Ecuadorian players are now standing around and showing their disgust at the missed opportunity. This leaves Switzerland with an advantage on the attack.

Sensing the advantage, one player for Ecuador appeared to intentionally try to draw a foul so his team could reset.

Instead, the referee allowed the play to continue which allowed the attack to continue and effectively took another Ecuadorian player out of the play.

Switzerland World Cup

Amazingly, Ecuador has left themselves in a position where the Swiss have a 6-on-4 advantage in the final seconds of a tied match. A long cross to the other side sets up the final play.

However, the play almost never happened as a high bounce on the pass nearly sent the ball out of bounds. Instead, Ricardo Rodriguez manages to get a toe of his boot on the ball and keep it in bounds.

Rodriguez manages to control the ball and move towards the box. Meanwhile, Haris Seferovic, who delivered the pass to Rodriguez from the other side, is now sprinting past the defenders in the box.

A perfect pass from Rodriguez around the defender left a wide-open Seferovic with an easy shot into the top of the net.

The referee would blow the whistle 20 seconds later and the match was over and the celebration was on.

Especially for the Swiss Cheeseheads.

Message For the Day…” Try to Practice at least a Part of What You Learn… “

Today people tend to go by the letter of the scriptures. The words of the scriptures should be interpreted and understood in the context of the prevailing time and circumstances. Then their real meaning will be clear. Also no one adheres to what one says or preaches. More than listening to spiritual discourses, one must try to practise at least a part of what one learns. Vedanta is being expounded at many places, not to speak of the discourses on the Gita. But how many understand the real spirit of the Gita and act up to its message? It is because of this dichotomy between preaching and practice that spiritual teachings are being treated with little regard. Only when the feelings emanating from the heart, the words coming out of the mouth and the actions one performs are all in perfect harmony will one’s life be based on truth.

Sathya Sai Baba

Joke of the Day…

A guy walking down a street one afternoon passes an old man sitting on the side of the road with a large sack.
The younger guy says to the old man, “Watcha got in the sack?”
The old man responds, “I got some monkeys in that there sack.”
The younger man asks, “If I guess how many monkeys you got in the sack, can I keep one?”
The old man replies, “Son, if you guess how many monkeys I got in this sack, I’ll give you both of ’em!”

An Awareness Video …. ” Global Warming menu ” …

 

Shocking! So Hot That This Chef Fried Eggs on the Sidewalk

Courtesy: WWF

Paraguay’s capital, Asuncion, was recently named one of the hottest in the world. In Asuncion it’s hot enough to cook a meal over hot asphalt road and serve a table full of people.

To raise awareness about the perils and impact of global warming, the WWF International released a two minute video- ‘Global Warming menu’ shot in this Paraguayan city.

Dozens of people circled a restaurant to watch local chefs cook mouth-watering  dishes on the sidewalk. Like us, we are sure none of them believed that the chefs would succeed. But they did. And that is what is worrying. There is no sunny side to this story.

This shocking video will definitely send chills down your spine, watch:

” Why Are we Blaming Others ” ? …

 

 

 

In a bold and shocking social experiment, Varun and his team tried to recreate the post-rape scenes of the infamous Delhi gang-rape incident. An accident hit person bleeding profusely literally begged for help, but in vain.

The video doesn’t talk about what one should do on witnessing a similar situation. Here’s what you can do:
1. Call the police. Dial 100.
2. Call an ambulance. Dial 101.
3. Offer a lift to the nearest Police station/Hospital

Have You Asked Your Father ” Dad …How are You ” ? …

 

 

It’s only when you grow up and step back from him – or leave him for your own home – it’s only then that you can measure his greatness and fully appreciate it. ~Margaret Truman

When a father gives to his child, both laugh; when a child gives to his/her father, both cry. Kudos to the team at EmotionalFulls for this wonderful tribute to fathers everywhere.

Have you asked your father, “Dad…How Are You?”

“எனது பாதை நேரானது நெரிசலற்றது…” மோடியின் கவிதை வரிகள் !!!

 

பிரதமர் நரேந்திர மோடிக்கு கவிதை எழுத வரும். சிறுகதைகளும் கட்டுரைகளும் எழுதியிருக்கிறார். இங்கே அவருடைய இரு கவிதைகள்.

நமது

மாலை மயங்கும் நேரம்

தனிமையில் களிக்கிறோம் நாம்

என் உடலும் உள்ளமும் பொங்குகின்றது

“தரணேதர்’ திருவிழா.

எவரிடமும் கொடுக்க – வாங்க

பரிமாறிக்கொள்ள எதுவுமில்லை

எனது உனது என்பதும் இருந்ததில்லை

இவ்வுலகில் இருப்பவை யாவையுமே என்னை

மனம் நிறைந்து அகமகிழச் செய்கின்றன.

 

எனது பாதை நேரானது நெரிசலற்றது

குறுக்கு நெடுக்குகள் கொண்டதுமில்லை

மாலை மயங்கும் நேரம்

தனிமையில் களிக்கிறோம் நாம்

 

ஒரு மதமுமில்லை;

சம்பிரதாயமுமில்லை மனிதன் மனிதன்தான்

வெளிச்சத்தில் வேற்றுமையும் உண்டோ?

லாந்தலானால் என்ன அகலானால் என்ன?

நிலைத்த இடத்தில் தொங்கும் சரவிளக்கல்லவே

மாலை மயங்கும் நேரம்

தனிமையில் களிக்கிறோம் நாம்.

இப்படிப்பட்ட மனிதர்கள்

 

பேச வேண்டிய இடத்தில் பேசமாட்டார்

பேச வேண்டா இடத்தில் பேசுவர்

இப்படிப்பட்ட மனிதர்கள்

எடை வைக்கோல் ஒத்ததே.

 

குரலின் கண்களைத் திற

சொல்ல வேண்டியதை சொல்லிவிடு

கபட மௌனத்தின் ஆடம்பரத்தை

வட்டோடு சுட்டுவிடு.

 

ஒருபொழுதும் முகஸ்துதியின்

மடியில் அமரவேண்டாம்

பேச வேண்டிய இடத்தில் பேசமாட்டார்

பேச வேண்டாத இடத்தில் பேசுவர்

எவருடைய நிந்தனை சொற்களையும்

கேட்டு வாய் திறவாமல் அமர்வதும் பாபமாகும்.

 

உண்மை பேசி ஏற்றுக்கொள்பவன்

எல்லா தவறுகளிலிருந்தும் விடுபடுகிறான்.

 

காற்றின் அலைகளில் மரத்தின் கௌரவம்

இணைந்து ஆடுகிறது.

 

பண்டுகாலந்தொட்டு இயற்கையில் எதுவுமே

பொய் பேசியதில்லை.

 

தமிழாக்கம்: ராஜலக்ஷ்மி சீனுவாசன்

திசை எட்டும்’ மொழிபெயர்ப்பு காலாண்டிதழ் வெளியிட்ட குஜராத்தி சிறப்பிதழிலிருந்து…
