    Ok, let me preface by admitting I did expose my phone to some water. I don't need lecturing, so save your breath. Anyway, I let my phone dry out, turned it back on, and it was working fine, all the buttons worked. So I charged it, and grabbed it this morning for work. I can turn it on by holding the red button, it turns on fine, and even takes incoming calls, but I can't answer them because the only button that works on my phone is that same red one. So in essensce I can only turn on my phone, and turn off my phone.

    I know the buttons physically work because they worked yesterday, so I assume it's some kind of software malfuction. I remember back when I was tweaking my phone that there was a keycombination, or something, that brought me to the 'bios' or 'system' screen of my phone, and from there I could reset it. I'm hoping to do the same here.

    If that doesn't work, I will replace the red sticker (exposed to water), with an old white one, and just say it's not working for me. There's no way I'm buying a new phone after being scammed out of my ass on a contract, they scam me, I scam them.

    EDIT: Two things to add. The buttons on the side to control volume and ringtone settings don't work either. And, could it be an issue with the battery?

    Well, i do have a problem with you trying to scam the manufacturers, they did not scam you, and i dont want to get into it really.

    However with liquid damage or exposure, you should remove battery immediately, and keep it off the electronic in question for a couple days, untill ALL moisture has been removed, and you may get a working unit again, if you threw the battery on after 12-24 hrs an powered up, its probably fubarred.

    Best course is if you dissasemble the unit an flush it with alcohol, and brush off surface oxidation off the soldier, but here its all too late it seems.

    Accidents happens man, but own up to it bro, you are financially responcible for this an NO ONE ELSE.

    Peace

    And to ruin your hopes of replacing the white sticker, you can try but they will know, something like a temper proof sticker with the VOID when you peel it off. Nice try though.

    How did you get to the BIOS of the V3?
