I borrowed my moms phone, its a Kyocera Candid KX16, i jumped in shallow water with it on accident, and i got it to work, now it doesn't turn on. I tried blowdrying it and it still doesn't work. Can Someone please help me? this is the second time this happened!

take the battery out right away, let it sit out for a couple days.

Keep away from the water, or go skinny dipping. On the serious side, your mom's gonna be really mad. There's nothing you can do. I got a 60 Gig MP3 player wet, and the only way to get it working again is to get a new hard drive for it. You will have to do the same thing. Chances are you will send in the phone minus the battey and battery cover, and they will send you a new phone. If, and I say IF you bring it in, and can get it to turn on, they can transfer all the info from the dying phone to a new one.

Don't mess with it... just remove batteries and let it dry out for a few days. if it worked for a little whle after it got wet and then died, then that's a little ominous because it probably got short circuited. well, it can't hurt to let it dry out for a few days. have you tried cooking it in the oven on 250 degrees for 1/2 hr? that sometimes works. This question gets asked a lot, you can search on yahoo answers and find lots of of info. I've answered this kind of question twice already myself. Good luck!

well my friend dropped her cell into the lake..and she thought it was done for, so she put it away in a cupboard about two days later it was okay..like it still worked. just give it time to dry up and try it again...like a day or two.

take the battery out and just let it dry for a couple days... DON'T TURN IT ON. but since u already did, you might already have screwed it up...sorry. My friend did the same thing but she didn't try turning it on at first. she just let it dry out.
