well CRAAAP! water logged phone
Can anyone help? I dropped my phone in water and at first I thought it was going to be ok. It booted up and got to the animation screen then went black. I took the battery out and wiped everything down and used the blow dryer on it for a few minutes. Put battery back in and pressed power button. Screen came on until animation screen then went black. But here's the funny part, it continued to boot up because I heard the start up sound. I tried to connect it to my PC thinking the screen was just dead but no such luck. I've got it under the dryer right now so hopefully it will dry out some more. Anyone have any other suggestions? Other than go buy a new phone? :P can't afford a new one right now and I NEED this one. For starters I have no alarm clock... my phone gets me up for work and it's almost bedtime.

Put it in a container full of dry rice for a few days... then give it a shot.

At this point,best to take the battery out and place it on a low heat-generating piece of eqpt(e.g. TV or fridge) with the keyboard slid out for 3-7 days. If it dries well enough, you might get full function back. Good luck.

I'm sorry to hear about your phone as well, but stop using the hair dryer now, if you haven't already. This is a common mistake a lot of people make. Hair dryers can force the moisture further in and damage more components.

rice, rice baby.
it works... but at the same time, you should have kept the phone off until it was drier/fully dry. if all else fails, hopefully you have or can get insurance on it and file a claim. |

Ive made that same mistake once. Dropped my phone in the toilet, then tried to power it on with out having it fully dried. It was a POS Red Rrzr.
I've had the same exact problem with my Mogul. The freakin cat knocked a cup of water on it. I rushed to the bathroom and used my hair drier on it untill it was COMPLETELY dry. Everything. The keyboard, the battery, and the device. Powered it up and it worked just fine! |

I had a 6600 that I dropped in a creek. It was 3' under for about a full minute. I took the battery out and put it in the oven at the lowest setting for about 4 hours. I took it out and let it cool down and it worked perfectly.
