My phone got wet, anyone know a way to fix it?

Question

Is there anything i can do to fix it? I have an At@t palm smart-phone, and it just keeps trying to connect to an internet source, but it isn't working.

Answer 1

you'll have to replace the circuit boards, the screen and pretty much all the electronics.  it would be cheaper to just get a new one.

Answer 2

try blow drying it with a hair dryer, or let it dry out on it's own.

same thing happend to mine (a few times) and at first it didn't work, give it time - it will start working.

Answer 3

i have a palm to, sorry for what happened to you bro.

you should just get another one, it wont work properly because the internal system is fcuked up due to the water.

but, if your lucky, your phone may work if you give it 3 weeks to a month

Answer 4

First, take the battery out. Tap your phone lightly to get water out and then dry everything you can off the phone (without breaking the phone open or something) with a q tip or tissue. Then, lay all the separate parts (never force anything off, if it's just the battery, it's cover and the phone that's okay) in a big bowl of rice for about 2 to 3 days. Rice absorbs humidity & water.

Answer 5

well... i'd try opening it up and cleaning (with a Qtip) around the insides... if that doesn't work... i guess, get a new phone?

Answer 6

if it gets wet you should immediatly take out the battery and sim card and let dry. there is a strip you'll see when you take out the batter. if it has already turned black, it is no good anymore. if not, you may still have a chance

Answer 7

try and put it in a bag of minute rice...should draw the moisture out

Answer 8

most of the time you cant.  you should probably get ready to buy a new one.  especiallyif it says something like car kit.

Best way to get it fixed is. Sending to At&t only people can fix is them. Either, the manufacturers.

My grandma told me a trick when I dropped mine in the sink and it worked.

Take your phone apart (well the battery out ) and put it in a bowl of rice completly cover it over night and it will dry it out. I promise it works. In the morning I put my phone back together and it worked fine. Good luck.

Answer 20

Take out the battery and put a blower on it for 1 hour (both sides). Then leave it in your car with the windows up on the dash. This will let the phone dry out. If you didn't short it out it will come back to life. I have done this several times and it worked 4 out of 5.

Hope this works,

Answer 21

You dry it.

Answer 22

it might be to late but take the battery out and put it back in tomorrow

or you can try hitting it with a blow dryer

Answer 23

hate to say it but you probably need to buy a new phone. don't bother to pay to fix it because it will cost as much if you just bought a new one.  

Answer 24

fill a container with rice and out your phone in it. the rice will absorb the water. leave it there for maybe 3 or 4 days. it works for me everytime. good luck!
