white rice (or brown rice for that matter) do nothing more than air would.staika said:Yeah supposedly the white rice absorbs the fluid that the phone got when it was dropped in the lake. My cousin supposedly learned that trick from the internet and I was skeptical at first but it worked so I can't complain with the results.the spud said:White rice?...The fuck?staika said:When my cousin and I were out fishing he dropped his phone in the lake and he jumped in the lake and made a mad dive and he managed to grab his phone from under the water. he put it in white rice when we got home and the phone worked perfectly after that.
You win my friend. Cool story.Stammer said:lol that's awesome! Reminds me of something that happened to me once.
I was at my TV playing Final Fantasy XI, when I decided to move my TV table (with both my keyboard and a Goblet? full of iced cappuccino) away from me so I could get up. Unfortunately, the table got caught in the carpet and wobbled all over the place, spilling pretty much the entire contents of the Goblet? into the keyboard. It was literally dripping from the inside with the thick, sticky beverage.
So I took all of the keys off of the keyboard and ran it under a faucet with warm water, washed each individual key with soap and water, let it dry for an hour, and then replaced each key. It didn't work then. The next day it still didn't work.
BUT ON THE THIRD DAY IT ROSE AGAIN AND BEGAN WORKING MIRACULOUSLY. I call it the "Jesus Keyboard". XD

Thank you for the laugh, but my cousin is one of those moronic people who believe a lot of what he reads but hell he jumped into the lake to save his phone. He's just lucky that he got his information from an accredited source, and by that I mean yahoo answers.the spud said:staika said:Snippety snip snip.
Hey man, whatever works. That may be why they put rice in salt shakers, I don't know.
And if the internet told you it will fix it, then is probably legit. Just like this how to instructing you how to clean a disc scratch.
