praisefor3 Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 It is coming on and we have it charging now but is there anything that will help aid in drying it out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lynn Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 I've heard people just laying it out to dry for a couple of days before charging. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kate in VA Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 I dont think so.... I silly dh put his "razor" phone on the counter and we think it got knocked into the dishwasher by the cat.... So after it got a good washing we found out.... it turned on by after we let it dry it was no good...... We took it in but they said they couldn't do anything with it... so we were with out a phone..... Sorry this happened, i know it stinks but it may not work again.... (i hope I am wrong!) This all happened after I told him that he was a nut for spending $350 on a PHONE!!!!! oh well he learned! maybe put it my a heat vent..... not on it but close to it?

Stirsmommy Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 When I washed ds's phone (he should have taken it out of his pocket before it went in the laundry!) they told me to take it apart, air dry it and hope for the best. He need a new phone. Sorry that happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nancypants Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 It is coming on and we have it charging now but is there anything that will help aid in drying it out? fill a baggy full of uncooked rice and stuff it in there. But fwiw, I washed my phone last year and though it flickered and acted like it was "on," it never worked again. I have heard of them truly being resurrected though, so good luck! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momo4 Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 This is what we have done twice with success. Take it apart and gently dry it with a hair dryer. I move it back and forth often so that the phone doesn't get too hot. It is more likely to rust if you just let it air dry or so I have been told.:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diana in OR Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 It may be okay without doing anything. Ds had the same phone go through the washer and dryer *3* times before it finally didn't work. Each time, I just set it on the counter for a day and then charged it up.
