My cell took a dip in the washing machine, I thought I had saved all the contacts in the chip it turns out I saved them in the cell phone so I lost all your #s so please call me or pm me if you don't have my number. Tony :dontknow:

maybe if you dry it out real good before you turn it on maybe it will work? it worked for a laptop but that just got wet from a open window and not washed.

water does not ruin electronics, turning them on when they are wet is what does it

he is correct. if it is dry when you turn it on it will work fine, but it has to be really really dry, not a spec of water in it.

Put it in a baggie with rice for a day. The rice will absorb the water. I did the same to mine. It took a few days to get the water under the screen to go away but it still would work fine.:beer:

Did as told and it works again, all the numbers are intact and I even made a call to make sure it was ok. I put it back in the rice for a couple more days to make sure all the moisture is gone. Thanks

El Camino Central members come through again!
