Take out battery and sim card, put it in a bowl of (uncooked) rice for a day or two, then reassemble and try to turn on. It's supposed to absob the water.

You wont get any arguments from me.

Mentok, that usually only works if the phone was switched off when it went in water.

I have walked into the ocean with my cell phone in my trunks pocket. I only realized it was there when it started vibrating and didn't stop.

I have ran my phones through the washer dropped them in water all kinds of stuff. Just take the battery out let it sit for a day or 2 to make sure there is NO water left inside it. And turn it back on. Should be good to go.

While it was on? When you pulled it out was the screen all grey and dotted?

Got a hair dryer? Do that, I did it on my W910i when it got wet in the rain, buttons started short circuitin.

Heh, a few weeks ago, my daughter was talking to her sister and decided to go and sit on the edge of the pool with her feet in the water. It was dark and she thought she knew where the step was, but completely missed it and took a dip with the phone :lol: Scared the poop out of my other daughter when she heard the splash and then the dead connection

Hey does anybody know if the white LCD is from water being in it and not dry?

 

[anhedonia]

I've had a phone dropped in water before too; I let it dry out and it was OK - just sometimes the screen would have like a "bubble" thing in it.

Putting it through the wash, though - that's pretty harsh .

Don't rub it in.
