Hello. So my friend dropped his Samsung galaxy a10e in water and when making calls his microphone doesn’t work and when you are calling him on speaker all you hear is static. If anyone knows how to fix this please let me know. Cheers
first turn it off and remove the battery if possible. get a can of air and try to blow out all the openings on the phone. including the microphone. typically newer phones are pretty water resistant and you might just have water in there blocking sound. if that doesnt work while its still taken apart put it on a vent for like your heating and leave it for a day or two to dry out further. DONT NOT PUT IT IN RICE lol! the debris from the rice can get into places you dont want it.
Instead of rice, I’ve found, a zip lock bag, a couple cotton ball’s, and those moisture absorbing things inside pill/vitamin bottles and in premium beef jerky, a few of each preferably, work pretty good pretty quick. D.on’t short yourself on time to let it dry, dont want those kind of problems. If after letting. It dry adequately , you find it still has the same issue(s), the speaker/ear piece could need replaced, and possibly Other parts too.
Please keep in mind that, generally speaking, a water-damaged device can no longer be considered reliable, it could die on you at any moment because there’s a good chance there’s still humidity building up corrosion at the board components level over time. You’re advised to perform frequent backups so that not everything is lost when the inevitable happens. If you want to give your device a better chance of survival, put your motherboard (and other major components if possible) through an ultrasonic cleaning. That’ll get rid of any humidity that’s still lurking around.
