*Help* Cell Phone Got Washed!
#21
i dropped mine in the toilet, never worked again after 2 weeks of drying...
I dont know if warrenties cover stuff like that, because they may take apart the phone and check out what might have been wrong and just replace the part.. but anywho, good luck trying!

Back to the blow dryer, I cant clean the internal parts without voiding warrenty, since the phone is dead might as well use HOT with the blow dryer. Thanks for the tip 94EG6HB

warranty doesnt cover water damage.
best thing to do is take it to pac mall and get it fixed ASAP.
cuz once the water settles then the **** will turn into rust and then ur fucked.
SO go and quickly fix it.

Its already dead, going in for warrenty so I was thinking blow drying it in cool wouldn't harm anymore because phone = goner.

they'll see more damage in the phone and decide it was the victim of neglate and they'll laugh harder when they bill you for a new phone.... but my words tend to fall on deaf ears....

Well I didn't, my loss in knowledge.
They lent me a loaner phone, the almighty Ericsson A1287D
Is there a reason why the signal bars are full and never to get less than full. Im sorry with two GSM and 1 TDMA, they never seem to get full signal in the house or outside (nearby the area).

as for signal bars... well those don't really tell the user anything... and they don't tell the customer service reps anything useful...and the technicans never care about them... if you don't have them there you have no service if you have them there you have service thats all... RF strength measurements are more accurately done on our switch (they are great for tracking) and is the only useful rf measurement.

I wouldn't recommend a blow drier the heat can damage components...

your phone is done. I used to fix cell phone as my job before this one.
The water screwed up the lcd so that will not work like it did before. The blow drier fried many little chips in that phone. My recommendation is to go return it and say it fell in a puddle.

just curious since it's been a little while since this event took place... are you doing your own laundry now?

I still don't do laundry and there no need for me to.
Yea I used to work for a Nokia Authorized Service Centre, I had no access to clean the internal components, lets just hope oxidation does not occur! Beside that phone sucked ****, worse than the 3360. Man my 8260 was the best, when I was working I would customize it to the max, White Lights, Battery, Keypad (This was a year ago when it was rare to see such thing)
