My son dropped my cell phone in the sink. He says it was only in there a short time.

remove the battery and the housing, if possible even the keypad and let it totally dry first before trying to use it. when i got my cp wet, i used a blowdryer to make sure it was totally dry.

I'm assuming it is off now. If it is not, turn off and remove the battery. Let dry at least a day and it should work. Also if possible take to a service center to have them open it and clean it out since it got wet. They have a chemical they use that helps so the contacts don't corrode together and cause your phone to start doing wierd things.

I drop my cell phone in the toilet a couple weeks back you have to take the battery out and let it air dry probaly for a day but could be a couple of hours if you put it in front of the A/C or a fan.

I dropped mine in the washer, and then when it came out it worked, but the inside screen was blurry, the inside one had small water drops
the water drops evaporated from the outer screen, but the inner one went blank, so i have to get a new one....

Whatever you do, don't turn it on. You could short it out.
Take the battery out and let it dry for at least a couple of days. It should work again. My friend ran hers through the washer in her pants pocket, let it dry out and it worked fine.
Good luck!

Take the battery out, if you are too paranoid dry it for a week or wadever, and make sure the sync is properly positioned.

you can take off the battery and let it dry out, i think you can take a hair dryer and blow the keypad, but not on hot cause i think that might screw it up, and once you get it dry put the battery back in and it should work

one might not beleive in these, but, I tried and it worked!
remove battery. find something for your phone to fit in one end, and connect the other to a vacuum cleaner,s hose. keep vacuum cleaner 'on' for a while.
this method is better than to open the entire phone case, or the blow air method.
