I dropped my Pixel in the sink a few days ago. I shut it off immediately after dropping it. I dried it off the best I could and let it sit out overnight with the Sim card tray taken out. I put it in a bag full of silica gel the next morning. It’s been two days since I put it in. Is it safe to take it out and power it on? Is there anything I should do before turning it on? I tried taking it apart but my hair dryer doesn’t seem to get hot enough to loosen the adhesive. I tried using a pry tool but I ended up cracking the screen. Thanks.
Take it to a reputable phone repair shop that does liquid damage repairs for evaluation. The phone needs to be disaasembled to remove liquid and clean corrosion on the logic board components and connectors. Unfortunately on this model it requires removing the screen that has adhesive under it first.
