My Jolla C fell into toilet
 

Luckily I had flushed before that happened :-D.

But full panic mode still. I had vacuum air in bottle, so I used that. And now I submerged it into a bowl of rice.

Now I guess I should pray to the almighty, or given the time of year, to the great santa?

So... anyone have experience how well Jolla C handles taking a dive into water?

Re: My Jolla C fell into toilet
 

A friend of mine had a Lumia 920 that fell on the toilet and tried the rice trick with no success
I disassembled the phone and place those litle silicone humidity bags for more than 24h
Assembled all together after that and for my surprise it turned on and is still working today :p

Re: My Jolla C fell into toilet
 

best is to put disassembled parts into rice.
and tell me please how vacuum air helped you :D

Re: My Jolla C fell into toilet
 

Just panic googled some instructions, and one of them said to use vacuum air. I guess it's to drive out the water. I don't really understand that instruction though, to me it would seem more likely to drive the water further inside the device.

Re: My Jolla C fell into toilet
 

best would be, for what i know, to put it in distilled water, then take it out and disassemble it and put into rice or something else able to absorb humidity.
distilled water to wash out salts cause they are culprits of water damages

Re: My Jolla C fell into toilet
 

Too bad I don't have distilled water in my apartment :).

Re: My Jolla C fell into toilet
 

ps: all this talking about sailfish, sailors and devices got broken (or hopefully not) for just a little water? XD

Re: My Jolla C fell into toilet
 

probably you can buy it easily in some shop. pharmacy should have it

Re: My Jolla C fell into toilet
 

You're right. If this Sailfish device breaks down just because it sailed in calm waters of toilet, it's definitely something that warranty must cover.

Re: My Jolla C fell into toilet
 

Or in a motor spares shop (some car batteries need topping up with distilled water).

Re: My Jolla C fell into toilet
 

For the past 2-3 decades, most commercial water for motoring purposes has been "deionized". Whilst distilling is one of many ways of purifying water, reverse osmosis or electrodeionization tends to be more common.

I am not sure if that makes any difference for practical purposes such as cleaning human-waste-soaked electronics :) If in doubt, use isopropyl alcohol instead.

Re: My Jolla C fell into toilet
 

always carrying 10 liters isopropyl alcohol canister with me :D

Re: My Jolla C fell into toilet
 

Lucky you. I keep only this old 15 ml container on my desk. Still 3/4 full.

I thought it was only teenage girls using the phone on toilet to show their body on X/Y/Z liveapp.....

Re: My Jolla C fell into toilet
 

You are watching Porn site when you are shiting?

Re: My Jolla C fell into toilet
 

Please, god, no, please, no.

Re: My Jolla C fell into toilet
 

If you must know, I'm sharing in social media pictures of my gigantic poos like any normal dude.

Re: My Jolla C fell into toilet
 

ahhhh, a new trend on social media. Food porn is getting boring. So people change to poo porn. Showing their best results on the net....
:eek::D

Re: My Jolla C fell into toilet
 

there's nothing new about that, ratemypoo exist for very looooooooooong time

Re: My Jolla C fell into toilet
 

I did not need to know that.

Re: My Jolla C fell into toilet
 

well, when you are old enough and have been using internet long enough than nothing is new :D

Re: My Jolla C fell into toilet
 

Praise the almighty, my Jolla C managed to boot after taking the dive into the unholy waters!

I'm cautiously optimistic, but I guess the next few days will show if there's any unapparent damage.

Re: My Jolla C fell into toilet
 

It (water) may take up to weeks/months to show its damage ...

Re: My Jolla C fell into toilet
 

This sounds like a doctor telling a cancer patient she might have weeks or few months to live.

I'll try to enjoy the time I have with my Jolla C, and hope that she pulls through. Pray for her? I christen her toilet-diver.

Re: My Jolla C fell into toilet
 

Oookayy. I did not need to read through all the pages in this topic, but for some reason I did. Time to log off now, I guess.

I do hope that Toilet-Diver pulls through and we get our christmass miracle.

Happy Xmas and Holidays to everyone!

Re: My Jolla C fell into toilet
 

Good news everyone. It seems like Toilet-Diver survived its diving adventure!

Glad to hear it. I hope it's in permanent remission from immersion effects.

Funny story: on Saturday my sister says to me, "Guess what happened to my phone . . ." and I respond, "It fell in the toilet?" and she asks, "How'd you guess?"

BTW, in regards to cleaning stuff with alcohol: In the US at least, the product sold in hardware stores as "denatured alcohol" is ethanol with little or no water mixed in (just a tiny bit of poison!!), whereas "isopropyl alcohol" (or rubbing alcohol) as it's sold in drug stores is mixed about 3:1 with H2O (and of course the poison, because taxes or morality . . .) for use as a sanitizer and wound cleaner. So for cleaning hardware instead of skin, denatured alcohol is preferable since it evaporates much more quickly. (And I see wikipedia tells me that in the UK, rubbing alcohol is more commonly known as "surgical spirit".)

Re: My Jolla C fell into toilet
 

In the UK, or at least the parts that I frequent, isopropyl alcohol is commonly known as "IPA" ;)

(Not to be confused with the other IPA.)
