I pulled the battery and let the phone sit for months after I got a new upgrade. When the upgrade died after I dropped it into a vat of soup, I got the old wine phone out, and it works fine.

The particular model you use may not be able to be saved after getting wet, but that doesn't mean every phone has the same deficiency.

IF your phone was dropped in anything but clean pure water, you need to RINSE the phone off with clean pure or better yet, distilled water.

If the liquid was a drink, beer, wine, muddy water, SALT water. You phone is probably toast anyway. Salt water especially is very corrosive. I dropped my Nextel into some soapy water in a sink, and immediately proceeded to completely rinse it off with clean flowing water. Of course turning it off and removing the battery is very important.

The tricky items on the phone are the moving parts, keyboards, switches, contacts, and also the radio transmitter. The circuit boards and chips survive ok. However if the liquid is corrosive at all, it might dry out work for a while, but then die later. Hence the reason for a clean water rinse.]]>Nov 24th 2009 4:30PM
