Kay 3,709 Posted October 26, 2008 Report Share Posted October 26, 2008 Just take it apart & get the hair drier on it leave it in the airing cupboard for a week or so then try it Quote Link to post Share on other sites

maty j 6 Posted October 26, 2008 Report Share Posted October 26, 2008 Take the covers off, batt out and leave It to dry on a radiator. Even get the hair dryer on It If you like. I dropped mine down the council gritter and It worked fine after It was dried Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest ESS Posted October 26, 2008 Report Share Posted October 26, 2008 you may find its the detergent which will effect it ...take battery out rinse in clean tap water or disilled water then dry it out Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Kay 3,709 Posted October 26, 2008 Report Share Posted October 26, 2008 I have washed 3 phones this year & they all worked fine once dried out properly Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kristian 9 Posted October 26, 2008 Report Share Posted October 26, 2008 What needs to be done is battery straight out of it otherwise it shorts the circuit and kills the phone. If the battery is taken out quickly it can be dried and it should work again but otherwise it's time to get another i'm afraid Quote Link to post Share on other sites
