Question

Ok so it went through the washer machine but only for like five minutes ( i realized it was there)

I let it dry out all day in the sun foor two days but still nothing not even when i go to charge.

is there any hope for it!!!??? any other ways to dry that you know???

i just restarted my plan so i REALLY hope its not dead because i didnt buy insuraunce.

Answer 1

Put it back in the window for another day, the battery should be out and the case open.  Then charge the battery and try it again.  I've dropped mine in the lake, left it on the roof of the car in a snowstorm for 2 days and each time it worked once I dried it out.  This does not hold true for salt water or dropped from several feet to the floor.  

Answer 2

Yeah! Vest thing to solve that is to put your phone in a bowl full of rice and cover it!

Leave it for atleast 2 or 3 days! and your phone wil be fine again!

This will really help!! I have dont it too!

Good luck!

Answer 3

honestly i dont think there's anything thing to do except take it to your cell phone carrier, and have it fixed, or get a new one.

Answer 4

Take the battery out.  Put the phone in a bag of dry rice for a couple of days.  It will dry it out.  Reinstall the battery after a couple of days and see where it stands then.  There is definitely hope for it if you are getting something on the screen.  Another way I fixed one at one time after going through a complete wash cycle was bake it dry.  Put it in the oven (without the battery) at about 125 F for several hours.  Check on it to make sure you are not getting it too hot (similar to leaving it in a car on a hot day).  Once it cools down, put the battery back in and retry.  It might take several cycles of this.

Answer 5

Ohh, when this happened to my phone I couldn't do anything!

mine was from the rain though.

and it couldn't be fixed

I sent my phone off the the retailer, eg, son ericsson, samsung . . .

But they returned it and said there was nothing they could do, they ain't entitled to fix it as it was my fault not theirs.

I sold mine on ebay, its surprising, but people actually do buy broken phones!

I just made sure I took out insurance on my next phone.
