Answer 1

If it still works on the charger then its a bludy strong phone but i say u should leave it out in the sun or maybe through it against the floor  

Answer 2

Ok, If You didnt turn it ON too Much, You Might Still Have A Chance,

Leave The cell Phone Off, For About 3 Days, Leave it in a Window Sill, Or Near Light, Let It Dry.

Than Try And Turn It On, If That Didnt Work Try Calling Your Phone Company For more Service, Or Try

Oh Also, If You Need to Get A new Phone, Slide The Battery Part Off And Get The Sim Card Out, You Might Be Able To Save Contacts, ANd Photos, And More! Gl

Answer 3

Get a bowl of rice and submerge your phone in the dry rice with the battery off, put it in a warm location and leave it there for two days, until you can no longer see the condensation in the windows. Then put the battery back in and turn it on, it worked for me when I dropped mine in the commode. The rice will soak the moisture from your phone and the electronic parts inside.

Answer 4

Did you take the sim card and everything out of it? I washed mine before.. it was only in there like 10 minutes and i took mine out and took everythign apart and 2 days later i put it in.. It worked but the screen was black, then one night i dropped my phone and i had a screen Again..  I would make sure it is completely dry.

Answer 5

Sorry honey, I now pronounce your cell phone dead. Once they get wet they won't work anymore, period... If you had insurance on it you should be able to get it replaced for free.

Answer 6

Stop trying to turn it on! Let it dry completely. Take the battery out and let it sit out for a while where it is warm and dry. When you turn it on it tries to send electricity through the water and can short it out. Since you have tuned it on and the charger works, that is a good sign. Let it dry completely even if you think you left it for to long. I dropped my in a lake and it works fine now.  

Answer 7

So i think somethings wrong with the INSIDE of your phone, because since its only working with the charger, its probably something wrong with the outlet part. You should surely check it out with your cellphone provider. Because then they can tell you whats wrong.

And most likely.. your gonna end up having to buy a new phone, but who knows? maybe your going to end up having the problem fixed in no time!

Answer 8

That Was A Bit Silly.

I'm Afraid You Have To Either Get It Checked...Or Buy A New.

Sorry.

Answer 9

OMG!!!!

i had left my mp3 player in my pants and my mom was so angry!

i know how you feel.

this is what i did.

every one told me that i should just throw it away but i didn't want to so my dad took it apart and let it dry out

my mp3 was doing the same thing where it would only turn in the charger

but once it was completly dried out, it would turn on and stuff but some times it like short out or something and i would have to turn it off then back on again.

but i got a new one after about two years.

just leave it out for a few days maybe even a week and just leave it alone then come back to it later. and make sure you take it apart so it can dry out EVERY where

and if it still doesn't work then i would say either start saving your money or convince your parents to get you a new phone.

btw

what was really funny was that there was bubbles in the screen and if you turned it they would move.

if you are kid that loves to use their cell phone all the time then try filling that time with playing outside or something.

Answer 10

take it off the charer i did tht to mine and its busted.

off the charger into the bowl of rice.

i NOW HAVE a horrible phone that sucks.

Answer 11

I have heard of this before all you need to do is take the charger out pull the phone apart as much as you can lay all the pieces on some paper towel and leave to dry (no hairdryer) naturally for about 3-4 days and it should work when you put it back together. Hope this helps my friend did it and it worked!

Answer 12

Try taking the battery completely out of your phone and let it sit dry for a day and see if it works.  I went on a water ride a year ago with my phone in my pocket and it got soaked, I did that for a day and it ended up working again.
