This article is really good for people to look over in case it happens to you. I haven't had to try this yet--who knows what the future holds.

See you guys thought I was joking.

Low-tech to save high-tech. You do what you gotta do. The part about pouring alcohol in sounds scary but I think it's probably right too.

FYI:

Next time you guys drop your phone in water.....DON'T!

Just kidding. Go get a cheap bag of plain white rice from the store. Put your phone and the battery in a big ziploc bag and pour the rice on top of it. The rice will draw all the water out of your phone and you should be good to go. Usual leave it in rice for a day or two. You may still have to go get a new battery though, as it will probably not charge anymore.

Did this when my wife's cousin phone fell in the tub and it worked no problem. She didnt even have to replace the battery.
