I Dropped My Phone In CHOCOLATE MILK!?


Question


I Dropped My Phone In CHOCOLATE MILK!?
so i was sitting watching tv and my phone just plopped right off my leg into my milk and it was like almost gone but it still got a little wet and just my luck it was on the side of the phone with the battery, its an enV and it turns on, i know its not good to turn it on after its gotten wet but it wasnt totally wet, but like some things are wierd now like the whole front of the phone pretty much before you flip it open all of the numbers instead of just pushing like when you push it puts ABC in the number thing and if you have the phone open and you close it like seconds later it just turns off


Answer


I hear this a lot. Many people have tried placing their phones in bowls of rice and I hear that works. You can even take the phone and battery apart and lay them out to dry for a couple of days. Do you have insurance? You know filing an insurance claim will cost you to get it replaced. Since this is a newer phone, youll more than likely get a brand new phone with a new yr warranty on it. However if you have no insurance, youll be required to purchase another phone at retail value.brbrbrTo the guy below me, Daman, anytime you purchase something and have a warranty on it, if YOU do something to make it stop working, they wont cover it under warranty. brbrThe only time you can get it under warranty is if the phone stopped working, with no damage to it. That is considered a malfunction. You didnt do anything for it to stop working so thats when they should be held liable to replace it.brbrShouldnt matter what rice you put it in.brbrWhat you can do is take the phone apart. On the back of your phone there is a white dot. If its not white, then its like a purple or pink color. Color will indicate phone has been exposed to liquid. If its still white, you can just try to get all the liquid out that you possibly can, take it to the store and just tell them its not working.brbrSorry to have typed so much.brbrAlso, if youre within the first days of getting your phone, you can see about adding the insurance to your account in order to get a replacement.

IMMEDIATELY REMOVE THE BATTERY. VERY VERY IMPORTANT!br As soon as possible preferably within minutes. dissassemble the phone using Torx T screwdriver.

Blow dry the phone. Make sure your battery and sim card are out of the phone.br Put your phone in rice for hours w battery and sim outbr You can also leave the battery and sim out. Leave your phone out in the sun. Let it dry.br Reassemble the phonebr Put back togetherbr Only now its safe to put the battery back in.brbrIf those steps do not work you can try a new battery in your phone. That most likely will get the phone working properly again.

Well you should have not turned it on, it might be fried now. Also did you have insurance on the phone?? If you did you might be able to get a new one for !! Anyways here is what you do take the battery and memory card out and get a bowl of regular uncooked rice not instant and put your phone in the bowl of rice and just leave it your phone sit in the bowl of rice for a week and then buy a new cell phone battery and put it in and see if your phone works. The rice should draw the water from the inside of your phone!! Dont put the old battery or memory card back in. If it works great if not your phone is fried and you will need to get a new one!!

I dropped my cell phone in water almost hrs ago and it still wont turn on...any advice???


Question


I dropped my cell phone in water almost hrs ago and it still wont turn on...any advice???
It was only in the water for about seconds but I didnt dry it off immediatly bc I had somewhere to be so it sat for about one hour after dropping it. When I got home I dryed it with a towel then hrs later I took a blow dryer to it. I also kept it on the charger all night


Answer


open it up as much as you can and put it under a light bulb about foot from it overnight. You shouldnt have charged it until the morning. You might have fried it already, im sorry to say. brbrAdded note. Do not listen to those who say you definately need a new phone. I was pushed into a pool twice with my cell in my pocket. Got out and it was all waterlogged. Both times i did what i suggested said above, the only difference is that I didnt even attempt to charge it or turn it on for at least hours

I dropped my cell phone in a bucket of water. will it work again?


Question


I dropped my cell phone in a bucket of water. will it work again?


Answer


Believe it or not, Ive actually had this happen to me a couple of times. The first time I dropped it in a lake and had to swim down feet or so to retrieve it. The second time I was fishing for striped bass on Block Island, and was in the water up to my waist. I forgot that I had my cell phone attached to my belt.brbrIn both cases yes, even with the salt water from the ocean I was able to salvage the phone. The first thing to do is remove the battery from the phone. Also, remove the antenna, as water can be trapped in there as well. Then wipe all parts of the phone with a dry cloth. Now lay the parts out with the phone upright so that water can drain out of it. After a few days of drying, reassemble the phone, and it should work.brbrBest of luck.
