bill88 6 Posted November 7, 2007 Report Share Posted November 7, 2007 Had to go and see my bank manager this morning,and ended up coming out a bit richer after he agreed to pay back my bank charges However after coming home and changing into my work gear,i ask the wife where the trousers i'd just took off were,"i've just put them in the wash" she says,"did you take the money and stuff out of the pockets" i ask,"of course i did,its on the side" i looked there was my wallet and keys,but no phone Needless to say i popped a f*****g cork.Well the wife hasn't spoke to me since,and my phone is in the airing cupboard.I know phones aren't fond of water,but is there anything i can do to save it?

SNAP SHOT 194 Posted November 7, 2007 Report Share Posted November 7, 2007 just leave it in a warm place for about a week, don't even try to switch it on until then, as there may still be some moisture on the boards, and thenhope for the best when you turn it on.....if the covers come of it this would help speed up the drying time.

bill88 6 Posted November 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2007 Problem is chaps,it was on when it went in I took the battery cover off,and blew most of the water out with a mini compressor,i think i'll give it a few days in the airing cupboard,and keep my fingers crossed.

OldTrapCollector 377 Posted November 7, 2007 Report Share Posted November 7, 2007 My wife washed and tumble dried mine a fortnight ago and I left it for days to dry out properly in the vain hope that I could recover it but alas it had gone to Nokia heaven.
