ok so i took my cell phone in the shower with me... well not in the water, its was on the counter... and when i got out it wouldn't work.. cuz i think steam got in it or something. My friend told me to blowdry it but that didn't work, so i stuck it in the fridge. and that kinda fixed it but some of the keys don't work all the time... and when someone calls me they can kinda hear me... how do i fix it without getting a new one??

The only possible way to resolve this problem is
- imediatelu use ur hair dryer once its get wet.
Delay in doin so can only damage the internal elctronic system.
i hve faced wid this problem twice, once it got fixed up by using the hair dryer, second time, it didnt work. so it all luck!
So far there is no possible solution found to get it work once its get wet . so beter take care next time. cheerz!

sounds like water damage. take it to the place you bought it and tell them that you Will cancel your service if you don't get a new one. this usually works because cell phone company's make no money with phones. the make it with the plans. it will also help if you have insurance.

Hi XOX , Only time will tell if its gonna be ok. Since condensation got in , it will either dry up OR damage amy already be done. Give it a week , & if it doesn't start working properly , I doubt it will.
Good Luck!

Roast it in the oven at 375 degrees for about 45 minutes. Carefully remove it from the oven (remember... it will be hot!) and recharge the battery for at least an hour. It should be fine then.

LOL You really shouldn't take electronics ANYWHERE near moisture. If you love your phone as much as you say you do then take care of it... My suggestion don't take it in the shower anymore... But if you must put it in a plastic airtight bagy next time...

Take it into a shop and see if it can be fixed. You probably hosed it when you froze it.

leave it for a few days to make sure it is completely dry inside. then cross your fingers and hope.
