Most cell phone components are certified to handle a minimum of 85oC or 200oF.

To resolve my "wet" cell phone, I immediately took the battery out, then when I returned home I put the phone in the oven set at the lowest temp (140oF) and left it there for 2 hrs.

Put the battery back in and it has continued working for the last 18 months.]]>Dec 12th 2008 2:01AMhttp://www.switched.com/2007/08/15/how-to-save-a-wet-cell-phone/http://www.switched.com/2007/08/15/how-to-save-a-wet-cell-phone/the first time i did, i took it apart and let it dry..
then it worked.
the SECOND time, i did the same thing..
and it worked but i couldnt hear anything but the ringing..
then i took it apart again and blow dried it and it didnt work for a couple hours..
then i tried it out and it worked :)
so basically take it apart and dry it .. and it'll be fine ! ]]>Dec 12th 2008 12:32PMhttp://www.switched.com/2007/08/15/how-to-save-a-wet-cell-phone/http://www.switched.com/2007/08/15/how-to-save-a-wet-cell-phone/Jul 14th 2010 8:55PMhttp://www.switched.com/2007/08/15/how-to-save-a-wet-cell-phone/http://www.switched.com/2007/08/15/how-to-save-a-wet-cell-phone/Dec 12th 2008 3:06PMhttp://www.switched.com/2007/08/15/how-to-save-a-wet-cell-phone/http://www.switched.com/2007/08/15/how-to-save-a-wet-cell-phone/Dec 12th 2008 3:26PMhttp://www.switched.com/2007/08/15/how-to-save-a-wet-cell-phone/http://www.switched.com/2007/08/15/how-to-save-a-wet-cell-phone/Dec 12th 2008 3:32PMhttp://www.switched.com/2007/08/15/how-to-save-a-wet-cell-phone/http://www.switched.com/2007/08/15/how-to-save-a-wet-cell-phone/Dec 12th 2008 6:56PMhttp://www.switched.com/2007/08/15/how-to-save-a-wet-cell-phone/http://www.switched.com/2007/08/15/how-to-save-a-wet-cell-phone/Dec 12th 2008 6:56PMhttp://www.switched.com/2007/08/15/how-to-save-a-wet-cell-phone/http://www.switched.com/2007/08/15/how-to-save-a-wet-cell-phone/
I reached in to retrieve it only to find it had melted. When I pulled my arm out of the frying grease I looked down and my hand was missing! So much for finger licking good!]]>Dec 16th 2008 6:40AMhttp://www.switched.com/2007/08/15/how-to-save-a-wet-cell-phone/http://www.switched.com/2007/08/15/how-to-save-a-wet-cell-phone/
All got absolutely soaked. I took them home, dumped the water out, stood the boards on end, turned the house AC down to "meat locker" cool and put a fan on the boards over night......The next day everything worked perfectly. The combination of the cooling (drying the air out) and the fan circulation did the trick.
