Just get a screwdriver and open it up, Plug in a hairdryer and turn it on full power, run it on full power on it for awhile and then it'll work.

Funny, related story:

A friend of mine managed to get Port into the microphone of her phone. The microphone stopped working, which led to one sided phone calls!

She would get SO stressed with people who carried on talking!

Just turn it off and leave it with the keypad facing down overnight. :smile:

put more water in it :eek: omg :confused: i won't trust that :eek:


Yeah, deionised water - doesn't conduct electricity so it displaces the 'normal' water that you drowned the phone in.

I wouldn't blast it with heat, especially a hairdryer - more likely to melt the plastic parts of the phone. It will need a long time to dry properly and it should be OK. Things like cameras, keypads, microphones and speakers are the most likely things to fail due to water short circuits.

If you keep using it whilst it's still damp inside, then it will die eventually.

Seperate the phone into the components and leave it in a warm dry place for around 2 weeks, it should then work again :smile:

The best thing you can do IMO is to turn it off and lead it by the radiator for a day. I bet once it has dried out properly it will then work again.
