Help me dry out my phone!

[gonzoy5]

HELP! I got caught in the rain at a football game. I had put it in a bag but it still got wet. Phone was acting all f'ed up for awhile, but everything is working again. I still have some condensation under the screen that I'm trying to get rid of. Any ideas? Anyone else had to do this? Blowdryer? Leave it out in the sun? Thanks!

I have always put my wet electronic devices in a bag of rice. Bob

Second that. Best possible thing is if you can find DampRid, no idea if they still make it though.

I would suggest taking it apart completely. I had mine for 2hours under heat lamp and condensation showed up under screen again. When I took it apart there was a lot of water under metal covers on the circuit board. It dried out very fast when opened up and I was able to clean all the "green" stuff. Phone still works!

Phone is working fine now. I left it for about a day under my elevated laptop. I used the heat it pumps out from the vents to dry it. No more condensation and everything is working as it should.
