Verizon Phone Fell Into Pool?

Question

Ok...I have a Samsung Glyde. I was pulled into the pool and my phone got wet. I was in the pool for less than five seconds. Now when I try to turn it on the screen is just white. The screen also fogs up when it is off. Can I fix my phone? I don't have insurance and I don't want to buy a new one.

Please help!

Answer 1

It depends on if the water damage thing is fully red and if it is your just pretty much screwed if none of that helps.. you just got to have a buy a new phone.

Answer 2

Take out the battery and place the phone near a fan or "dry" place and just let it set for a few days. It might work again, it might not. Some wet phones do come back so just keep your fingers crossed. I have also heard placing the phone in a bowl of uncooked rice will draw out the moisture. Good luck.

Answer 3

Take out the battery.  Use a hair dryer for about 5-10 minutes.  Then put the phone and battery in a bag of rice for about 3-5 days.  Just check on it from time to time.

My boyfriend jumped in a lake with his phone and his phone wouldn't turn on.  We used this method and slowly it started working again.  Day 2 it would turn on but with a white screen but phone still wouldn't work.  Day 3 he could make and recieve calls but screen was still white.  Day 4 works great...screen and everything.

wait until it completey dries.

i heard of some people putting it in the oven at a very low temp.  i wouldn't try it though.

don't have you phone by the pool!  

Answer 5

Never turn your phone on when it's wet.

G'Dog is correct, rice does draw moisture away.  A similar situation happened to me. I had the v365 and it got wet. Everything worked fine after I dried it out, except for the backlight.

I have Verizon, and you can purchase a phone online and then swap services if all else fails. I just did this 3 days ago.
