must have sweated into the earhole
 

I was sitting outside today talking on the phone and sweating my ass off. well anyhow when i got off the call i found that my touch screen was unresponsive and there was a big dark spot on the screen that looked like liquid. I took off the screen protector and tried to wipe it off but its in the screen. I must not be the first person to have this happen, the screen is still dead after a couple of hours. I tried a soft reset, hard reset, and even flashed back to stock thinking it might have something to do with the fresh rom I flashed earlier today. Has anyone had any luck getting something like this to work again or is time for an insurance claim?

It may be too late for this but...

Any time a phone has water damage, the battery should be promptly removed and the phone should be dried out for a couple of days. Some people say put it on rice, but we didn't notice a difference when we had a problem. The idea is to find a good desiccant. In any case, my wife used to use speakerphone and carry the phone under her bra strap. She decided to use this strategy when she was doing the breast cancer 5k. At the end of the walk, she noticed the phone wasn't working right, and saw that it was soaked. I don't know exactly when she took the battery out. However, after 2 days, it was working almost perfectly. One of the buttons or something isn't working right, but my wife says this problem isn't new. Unfortunately, now the water damage marker is smeared, so the only way to fix that would be to return it for insurance. But she is happy with it. So in any case just try and take the battery out and let it dry for a couple of days, unless you can't wait that long and just want to get a quick replacement for $100.
