Ok so...EVO fell into a cup of water

[donnatn]

So I was driving to Florida and the EVO FEEL IN A CUP IF WATER!

I dried it out on the dashboard but there is still a water stain on the upper left corner. Any ideas on how to get rid of it?

[garyrr]

take the back off and take the battery out and put it in a bowl of regular rice

I understand that sticking the phone in a bowl of rice for 24 hours or so may help dehydrate the phone. If the stain is actually water under the glass, this may help. I've never had this problem and am not entirely sure your stain is water, but thought I'd throw it out there.

Gary beat me to it yeah, I forgot about the battery part. Take that out.

I had water under my EVO screen a few weeks back. I removed the battery and did rice for a while, silica gel packs for a while, and had it outside in the heat (not in direct sunlight) for a while. It took two days, but all blemishes under screen went away.

yea my wife ran her crack berry threw a 60 min wash cycle and I put it in some rice for a few days and now it works just as bad as it did before

I have 2 evos that took a salt water bath in the ocean Saturday night. Still waiting for TEP replacements (will prob be 2 weeks), but neither have come back to life...

Take out battery take off cover put it in the oven at the lowest possible setting about 170 degree's for about 2 hours. Let cool overnight then try it. I work on electronics for a living and I wash and bake circuit boards with soap and water all the time. Just be sure to bake out and let cool leaving the cover off allows the water to evaporate. DO NOT BAKE ANY HIGHER THAN 170.
