My cell phone was drowned in mineral water in a span of 5 minutes. It all happened inside my bag without me knowing it. I turned off my cell phone and used a blow drying to remove all the moisture outside and inside (battery compartment and memory card slot).
The cell phone turns on but with a purple screen and a faulty backlight. After leaving it alone for 5 hours, it starts working again.
So do I need to open it and blow dry the insides or am I in the safe zone?

I have a friend who dropped his cell phone in a cup of coffee. Eventually the screen went blank, and two months later the phone died. I'd remove the battery, and blow dry everywhere in it. See what your nearest electronic tech thinks, but I think it's just a matter of time before...............................Blueweeeeee!

you're probably alright, but I would consider backing up the numbers and info just in case. I have a nokia that I dropped in some water once and I was just careful to make sure it was totally dry before I turned it on. It still works to this day.

Usually if you can leave electronics to dry about 3 days they will be OK.
