Electronics are especially vulnerable to any kind of water damage or liquid spills. If your cellphone or laptop is water damaged, it can either malfunction, suffer from quality deterioration or be rendered useless and broken.

Quick action is needed when it comes to saving laptops and mobile phones from further water damage. Here are some helpful tips on how to prevent these equipment from being damaged further.

If your cellphone is water damaged:

* Remove it from the source of water and shake off excess water. Grab your cellphone quickly because if you leave it lying around in the source of water for more than 20 seconds, the water will seep inside.

* Do not put it inside a microwave or dry it with a hair dryer. People often commit this big no-no when they are faced with this situation. Exposing your cellphone to direct heat will damage it more and might cause it to short circuit.

* Turn off your water damaged cellphone and remove its batteries immediately.

* Dry your phone using a towel or paper towel. Let the phone sit on absorbent towels or paper. Replace the towel or paper every 4 to 6 hours. Remember that all traces of moisture and humidity should be expelled.

* Wait for one day of drying after testing your phone.

* If the water damage is extensive. Place it inside a zip lock bag and bring it to a cellphone repair professional in order to have it assessed. The professional will evaluate the extent of the damage and suggest tips on how to solve the problem.

On the other hand, if your laptop is water damaged:

* If water or any other liquid spilled on your laptop, shut it down quickly, remove its batteries and unplug it from the electricity source. If the water reaches the electrical circuits inside the laptop, it might short circuit.

* Turn your laptop upside down to prevent the water from reaching more internal parts.

* Use paper towels to remove excess water from the laptop.

* Examine your keyboard; tilt it on one side to get rid of any liquid that might be trapped.

* Use a clean, slightly damp piece of cloth to clean the screen.

* If you know how to disassemble your laptop, then do it. You can inspect the internal parts in order to assess the extent of the water damage. Take out the hard drive and remove as many drives as you can. If you do not know how to do this carefully, you can enlist the services of a professional to disassemble the laptop.

* If your laptop is damaged by a liquid other than water, you can use distilled water to rinse it. Using distilled water is more favorable than tap water because it will not leave any particle in the laptop that can cause more damage.

* Let your laptop dry. You can do this in two ways; you can either dry it naturally or dry it using light heat. If you want your laptop to dry naturally, you can prop it up and leave it for 24-48 hours in a dry place so that air can circulate for faster drying. If you want to use light heat in drying your laptop, you can place it in a shelf above your radiator. Do not place it under direct sunlight. You can also use a dehumidifier for faster drying.

Remember that cellphones and laptops are made with delicate materials so exercise caution in dealing with these equipment.

I have an LG phone with Verizon Wireless - lousy battery, horrible reception, and no extra features. I’m looking to trade up to Sprint PCS but don’t know which phone is best. Opinions are welcome, but please tell me WHY as well as which phone you prefer. Thanks!

Modern Technology has created many wonderful things, none more efficient and renowned though, it seems, than the cell phone. This small, compact device lets you stay in touch with anyone in the world, at any time. And there is so much more you can do nowadays with the cell phone than just talk, like send and receive e-mail, text message, browse the Web and download games and music, even pay your bill, not to mention the heavier side of communication with your cell phone like streaming video and other data applications as Microsdoft Powerpoint and Word. Cell phones can also be operated by voice command, using a virtual automated assistant, which will do the dialing for you.

The cell phone, or as referred to as a mobile, wireless, or cellular device, is a short-range, portable electronic device which is used for the transfer of voice or data over a network, for example a CDMA network. A Definition from Mobile Computing News: CDMA (code-division multiple access) refers to any of several protocols used in so-called second-generation (2G) and third-generation (3G) wireless communications. As the term implies, CDMA is a form of multiplexing, which allows numerous signals to occupy a single transmission channel, optimizing the use of available bandwidth. The technology is used in ultra-high-frequency (UHF) cellular telephone systems in the 800-MHz and 1.9-GHz bands.

In 2007, the total cell phone subscriptions around the world reached nearly 3.3 billion. It is a technology that has exploded beyond measure, an industrial revolution in its own right. This makes the cellphone a valuable commodity. So, with cell phone thefts rising every year, it would be a good idea to keep track of your cell phone at all times. Of course, if someone steals it and it is equipped with GPS technology, Global Position System, well just track it. GPS has a great history as to where it came from decades ago, and now, not just for military purposes, has become a part of civilian use in areas of navigation, getting directions, or making sure your kid goes to school in the morning. One of my friends has that, it alerts him when his son has entered the school, pretty ingenious!
