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

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?

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

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

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...

Dangit! You beat me too it! I read it on my engadget app today too!

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.

hi
i just read this am, there is a new device they have, for 12 bucks, they guarantee they will dry out any electrical device, spotless and to original condition, it was on news feeds on my new evo phone:) good luck with that

That's what we were talking about Japan for.

Well I took the battery out and put all of the pieces on the dash of the car...it is HOT here...

THe water mostly evaporated but I still had a water stain on the upper left-hand corner of the screen. That was on Thursday night. I just looked at it now on Sat morning and it looks fine. I hope I am not imaging things:) I wonder if the Zagg protected it any?

How can I check it to see if it is truly dried out? I powered off and back on so that the screen would be white. Any other ideas on how to see the screen better?

Thanks for all of the suggestions!

squint:)

If the water marks are gone and it has been several days, I would imagine you are fine. The only way to know if it is dry 100% is to open the case to find out. At this point if it powers on and the screen looks like normal I would try it like that. That is just my opinion though.
