Re: Dropped Phone In toilet

I dropped my phone once in muddy water around a plant in the yard. I had the phone in my shirt pocket and when I bend down to do something it came out of the pocket and into the water. I grabbed it in about 2 seconds or less and just took off the back cover and battery to dry off as much as I could. Worked fine for weeks but then started having problems. I'm not sure if it was old age and use or the water that got inside of it. No sure if repairing your phone is a good idea. New phone excuse? Good luck, tsp |

Re: Dropped Phone In toilet
Check to make sure you've got the LCD ribbon seated in there properly. If it is, then it's most likely the LCD screen. Just to be on the safe side, have you got a friend that you could borrow a working LCD from to test and make sure that's the issue before you go spending money on parts that might not be helpful?

Re: Dropped Phone In toilet
Thanks for all the reply, it has come back on it's own. I tore it down it's smallest component parts and dipped them in lab grade isopropyl alchohol and in back to normal. Crossing my fingers now!

Re: Dropped Phone In toilet
if it ends up not working.............
here are my instructions BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING BE SURE TO BACK UP YOUR PIM DATA AND TAKE YOUR SD CARD OUT OF YOUR PHONE 1. go directly to your kitchen 2. open your microwave 3. put said phone in microwave 4. set timer for precisely 3 THREE TRES TROIS (lmao) seconds. (any longer and you'll fry it, thus voiding warranty) 5. start said microwave 6. take the phone out of the microwave (IMPORTANT STEP) 7. drive to the nearest sprint store 8. go to the rep and say these words " So last night i turned my phone off for the night. when i left for work in the morning i still hadn't turned it on yet. when i finally turned it on at work it booted up normally, then suddenly it spazzed out and turned off!!!! the screen just stopped and dimmed out! so i tried to turn it on again and again and it wouldnt budge. i tried using one of my co-worker's battery in my phone, still wouldnt turn on. so as soon as i got out of work i came here." 9. theyll do thier stupid testing and it eventually determine that your phone doesnt work! durrrrrrrr. 10. if your in your warranty period, theyll either give you a refurb one or theyll be nice and give you a new one or theyll ship out for a refurb one....in which youll get it within 4-5 buisness days i have a summer job there boys, so i know hahaha Good Luck!!!
