Answer 9

this is going to sound really funny but my dad has dropped his phone in the lake about 6 times and it will not work at all until he puts it in the toaster oven. He puts it on like 200 so it doesnt melt then he just checks on it every so often then it starts working perfectly again... also you can try to take the phone apart and blow dry it but this hasnt worked for us only the oven... i mean your warrenty is void now anyways

Answer 10

If it is a cell phone turn it off, and then take it apart...take the back off, and the sims card out (if it has one) put it in front of a fan and let it dry overnight. Try turning it back on the next day, it should work!

Answer 11

Answer 12

buy a new one.

Answer 13

try the blow drier idea then if that dont work and phone is completly dry take it in and say it just stoped working and u dont know why.  playing dumb if ask about signs of water damage.. also depends on how old the phone is and all.  remember u give the cell company lot of money try and get a lil back any time that u can

Answer 14

blow dry it with a blow dryer, take it part, like take out the sim card and battery, make sure its all dry...something similar happened to me and i blow dryed it and it was working good by the next day

Answer 15

I actually had this happen once!  I was a single mom and had no money and it was my only phone, so I HAD to get it working again!!  First, take out the battery.  Then allow the battery and phone to dry out completely (I used a hairdryer to speed the process up, but be careful about not getting the battery hot!).  If you elect to "air dry" the phone and battery I'd allow a few days.  After everything has completely dried, put it back together and it should work!!  (Mine was a cordless landline phone, if you're talking about a cell phone I don't know if it'll work or not).  Good luck to you!!

Answer 16

If your phone was on when it fell into the water your screwed and have to buy a new phone... If it was off, take it out of the water and take it apart and let it sit for a day to dry out. When you feel that it is completely dry then put it back togather click on and you should be good to go!

I have done this before with my phone and it was shut off when it plopped in the toilet. That was how I got mine working again! Well good luck to ya'

Answer 17

Answer 19
