Re: Diamond dropped in water :(
I completely submerged my diamond a few weeks ago... I thought it was gone too...
I took it completely apart, tried to dry it the best I could, and put it back together.
Like you, I would turn it on, it would vibrate and give the appearance that it was working, that is, everything but the screen. The screen just showed lines and was very faint.
I tried everything, the rice trick, hair dryer, everything I could think of, and nothing appeared to work.
So I ended up buying another diamond 2 days later.
Before I unpacked the new one, I tried turning the old one on again... still the same thing, vibrate worked, incoming calls worked, but no display just faint lines.
So I plugged the USB to get all my stuff off the internal storage, and after about 10 mins, BOOM everything lit up again and it has been working ever since in every way.
I sold the new diamond for a small profit.
So bottomline, don't do anything just keep the battery out and wait 24 hours... Try it again, if it still doesn't work, try waiting another 24 hours, and then a final 24 hours. It should work.
Let us know what happens. It would be interesting to hear if it comes back to life.
