Ways to Revive Your Phone

1. Turn off the phone immediately

Power off your phone, remove the SIM card and SD card and take out the battery if any.

2. Wipe clean the liquid on the screen

Use a tissue or soft cloth to thoroughly absorb the liquid from the surface of the phone.

3. Air-dry the phone

Place the phone screen up horizontally so that the liquid inside can flow out or get dry by air.

4. Send for inspection

Send your phone to the nearest OPPO Service Center for professional inspection and repair, in case the liquid will accelerate the damage to the phone.

Additional Helpful Steps

1. Remove Phone Case & Accessories

Take off any protective case, cover, or accessories that can trap moisture.

2. Use Silica Gel Packets (if available)

• Place the phone in a container with silica gel packets for 24–48 hours.

• Silica gel absorbs moisture more effectively than rice.

3. Check with Phone Manager Diagnostics (ColorOS 11 and above)

• Open [Phone Manager] > [Diagnostics] > [Hardware Check].

• Run a sensor and speaker test after drying to confirm proper functioning.

Note: Avoid using hot air, baking, microwave ovens, or repeatedly turning on and off your phone, which might cause more damage.
