ESD or Electro-Static Discharge can damage sensitive circuitry so do not touch anything on circuit board, such as connectors and resistors, with your bare hands!
This process may not work if you attempted to turn on /charge your device after it was exposed to water.
Hardware damage is always a possibility, so this process is only to give your device the best chance of survival.
