Cell phone in the drink.... ^&$%@#*%#@*&%#@&%)#@&%

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I did that once. I thought my phone was dead. Then a week later it turned itself on and started ringing.
 
me and a buddy were in a canoe all drunk one morning and ended up tipping into the middle of the lake. We were swimming for a GOOD 30 minutes draggin the canoe and ourselves to shore. My cell phone didnt work for a week and a half then all of a sudden it worked again until 2 weeks ago. It was July when that happened so it paid off to wait for it to dry. I got a new razor for $260 bucks... One thing that will happen if it does work again is that the internals will start to rust away, thats what eventually happened to mine
 
thats crazy! razrs are so crappy i have one i know! lol but when my brother got his phone wet we used a blow dryer on low n not to hot to dry it out n it worked so maybe try that?
 
I tried the rice thing and the oven thing, first the oven then the rice, put the battery in and it turned on, I was even able to make a call, but while the call was going out, it told me that I had received 4 text messages (not uncommon), then it switched to speaker
phone and all the keys stopped working. And that's where I stand,

I'm hoping that when I go to the alltel store today that they can get the numbers off.
I have like 260-280 numbers and the last time I backed up my contacts was like 14 months ago when I got the phone.

ugh...
 
stick in a bag of rice for a week
 
the whole phone not just the battery

A week? Who can go without a phone for a week, I'm at college with no land line... LOL


I called the insurance, they cover water damage, stupid $95 deductible because it's a "high end" model, v3m... jerks. Won't have the new one until wednesday, I sure hope they can save my contacts............
 
sorry in a vegetable dryer also works.
