Water in phone

[Jay]

Right, got my phone wet last night, i didnt drop it in a bath etc so wasent wet for ages... Now all the buttons don't work, ive took it apart put on the radiator over night, and still no joy!

Any ideas?

just take it to a phone shop that dose repairs and they have some sort of heating system like a microwave for them




when i done it i just left it with out the battery in the airing cupboard for 2 days and it was ok

Take it apart as much as you can and leave it in the airing cupboard, you might not have left it to dry long enough and it might have frazzled the circuit for the keyboard though.

I saw a thing on the gadet show (iirc) where it said the best thing is to strip it down as far as you can and rinse it through with clean water, use a hoover or hairdryer to suck or blow as much of the water out as possible the again leave it in the airing cupboard and nine out of ten times you will get away with it!

I got home from clubbing (perfectly sober may I add) and thought I had put my phone in my phone holder by the side of my bed. I had fully submerged it in my beaker of water!!! Had only had it a week!

I took it back to the shop and tried to claim it had just stopped working and they sent it off. When they got it back they had a photo of the completely melted chipboard hahaha I didnt get a repair or replacement, Gutted!

Still fooked, looks like im going to find a phone on ebay in a min.

Sell it to environfone, they might give you a fiver for it and really easy to used.
They gave me 20 for my broken phone and sold all the accessories on ebay so actually only lost about 20 quid in the end

I can get £41 on mazoomamobile, all it needs to do is power up and thats it :)

mate try putting it in a glass of rice for 24hrs. the dry rice drags all the damp out the phone. Worth a try
