My Razr was in my back pocket when i went to go to the bathroom. I pulled my pants down and it fell into the toilet. I dried it out immediately and let it sit for about a month now, but it still doesn't work. I don't wanna have to pay 200$ to buy a new phone... but i still want a razr...... any ideas on how to fix/ get a new phone??

Should be under one year warranty (and Razrs haven't even been out that long so even if you bought it when it first came out, it should still be covered). Take it back to the place where you bought it from and tell them you don't know what's wrong with it but that it just stopped working. If they don't buy it then you're SOL and you'll just have to suck it up and buy a new one. Buy a clip and clip it to your pants so that it doesn't happen again. And Razrs are cheaper now than they were when they first came out so you should be able to afford a new one.

sorry it happened but you could have put it in the freezer straight away then the water would have frozen when you get it out you hit it down wards so it any comes out it will come from the bottom open the back of it and pull the phone apart as much as you can for it to dry out more leave it for a day or two.... it's not good to leave the battery in as irt short circuts the phone.......

Smoothe move prune juice!!!!!!! that's a total waste of a Razr phone you wanted so bad! and i bet you you can't get it replaced because even though there might be some kind of warranty, it doesn't cover camode (toilet) casulties. i don't know what to tell you

You could take it to a local generic cellular store that does repairs. Warranty will not help you in this matter even if you did have it. There are colored sensors or strips inside the phones that detect if the phone was exposed to water.

There has been MANY defects about the RAZR. Call your provider (Verizon, Cingular,Tmobile) and tell them the phone only holds the charge for 1 HOUR at MAX. They will say "Yes, it is a defect" and boom! they will send you a new phone.
Hope it works.

The same **** happened to me today. I have taken it apart, dried it and all that happens is the keys light up. I went to www.Craigslist.org and found one used in perfect condition for $100.00. Good luck

well, you could try taking out the sim card, or open the back to let it dry out fully, you may have water in the battery and if thats the case, youll have to buy a new cell! im sorry that happened! you have my sympathy!!

I've broken my phone before, so what i did was take it to the store that i bought it from and explain to them what happened and ask them to exchange it if you are lucky they will say yes!

anytime someone i comprehend drops a telephone in liquid they stick it in a field complete of raw rice in one day. The rice can help take in ambient moisture out of the phone. truly one of my acquaintances rescued her workstation that way.
