Have anyone ever dropped your cellphone in water? Did it ever work again?

Question

I dropped my cellphone in the toilet today and every button on it stopped working. I have no insurance on it. Some of the button starting working again after it dried out some but not all of them.

This is a razor phone. Only half the buttons work on it right now.I opened it,took battery out,blow dryed it,still no luck,the good thing is I can still receive calls just can't dial out the #'s 9,8,7,6,5&3 won't work.

Answer 1

There is a great possibility that it could still work, provided it wasn't left in the water for days. take out the battery and let it dry. use a blower on low heat(at a distance). I had a friend who dropped his cellphone in the pool but it worked. good luck and hope it would work:)

Answer 2

Yes, I did, take the battery out and let the phone dry out over night, I used my blow dryer, low, cool setting, hold the phone about a foot away from it. Leave it over night. My phone worked in the morning. It lasted for another 6 months.

Answer 3

My cell got wet when I had to rescue my 2 mo. old puppy from frigid whitewater in November, '05. That's another story, but the phone was in my pocket at the time. I took off the battery, unscrewed the antenna (basicaly removed everything I could easily,) and let everything dry in a warm sunny window for a couple days. It was fine, and still works.

Answer 4

Take out the battery and wait a few days. The phone should eventually start working again. My phone was washed twice, and it miraculously survived. If you don't take out the battery, the phone may short circuit.

Answer 5

i accidentally put mine through the wash, i took it apart took out battery took off screen etc. and let dry for like 3 days then i put it back together and it worked fine

I as quickly as washed my husbands laundry in heat water with laundry detergent for apprx. 40 minutes, no longer understanding that his cellular telephone replace into interior a jacket that replace into being washed. as quickly as dried (with the help of itself, i did no longer dry it myself) his cellular telephone labored like new. The show screen took a whilst to look regular besides the fact that if it did. (This replace into lengthy in the past, till now telephones had cameras). supply it an afternoon or 2. you would be marvel that no longer something happened.

Answer 7

I work in wireless. Sure it will work if you let it dry completly. If you don't the phone will short out and it'll never work again. :-)

Answer 8

I once left my phone in my pants and accidently washed them. Unfortunately, I could not even get it to switch on again, so be glad you got that far!
