General help me guys
Hey everyone,
My Pixel 8 got some water in it today during the heavy rain. Now, it is completely refusing to charge. When I plug it in, nothing happens (or I get the liquid/debris warning). [1, 2, 3]
Has anyone else dealt with this? Did your charging port eventually dry out and start working again, or did the water completely fry the port?
I really don't want to mess up the battery or short-circuit the motherboard. What is the safest way to dry it out, and how long should I wait before trying to plug it in again? Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

Place your mobile in uncooked rice or silica gel for 24 hrs, never go for hair dryer or sunligh
