I left my phone in my pocket and it went through the wash!Any Hope?

Question

Its a Sony Ericsson W508i and it won't turn on at all. It was on when it was in the washer and it won't turn on now and when I put it on the charger it won't do anything either. Any Hope of suggestions?

Answer 1

yeah, get some uncooked rice (as in grains of rices) ASAP and leave it there for awhile.

take the battery out just like take it apart and just leave it in there

make sure to take out your sim.

don't put the sim in there

just the phone (open without battery), the battery and the battery lid.

in about 48 hour it SHOULD work.

Answer 2

You may luck out, as my nephew accidentally washed a very expensive micro camcorder once and once it dried out, it worked as good as ever.

My best suggestion would be to take it apart, or at least open it up and clean it as good as you can and then just let it dry out before you try it again.

Answer 3

it prob has water in it, and if it does u either hav 2 take it bak 2 watever phone store u got it at or watever brand like verison wireless and c if they can fix it, if not ur screwed and need a new phone, the same thing happened 2 me except mine accidently fell in a bowl of soup

Answer 4

You need to dry the phone out very well! If anyone else you know has the same phone, try their battery in your phone. My mom has washed her phone b4, and it killed her battery. If the phone doesn't work or you don't know anyone w/ the same phone, take it to a store and get it looked at.

Answer 5

I've had experience with that.

Its best to let your phone sit and dry out.

Take the battery and sim card out (if you have one)

and set it all on a towel. The only thing you can

do it wait until it dries out completely and hope it will work.

I hope i could help :)

Answer 6

Sounds like it is gone, sorry.  and getting it wet voids the warranty, so it probably won't be replaced gratis.  You will need to buy a new phone and switch the sim card.  Call your carrier to find out the information.

Answer 7

I've heard about the rice thing and sometimes it doesn't work so be careful with that.

From personal experience and friends, just take apart all the pieces you can and let it completely dry for a few days. Do not attempt to turn it on until it is for sure completely dry or you'll risk shorting it or ruining it more.

Good luck!
