I immediately pulled out the battery.  In my car, i pit the opened cell phone under the window defroster vent...turned on the heat and covered it with a towel.   This dried out the phone perfectly which had been satuated.<br>I put in the battery and the phone would not work , so as a last ditch effort I poured rubbung alcohol into the phone and soaked it with the battery out.  Then again onto the dashboard of my car with the heater defroster on and covered with a towel.  Phone was dried out perfectly.  Replaced the battery and it's been working fine for the last two years. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[al podgorski]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 17th 2009 6:18PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
