Motorola L6 Screen Problems

I have an L6 and when it bumps into something, it resets after about a minute. it just turns to blank screen and turns back on and says no service for about a sec then works fine again.

ok, its really long i know, but im trying to explain exactly what happened.

well, this monday, there was a rainstorm in new york, and i was caught in it. i went to my house, realized i left my keys at my girlfriends house, called her on my cellphone, which probably got really wet, (it was raining sideways) then went back to her house, and by the time i actually got home, my shirt was stuck to my back with water, and my pants and shoes were watterlogged.

tuesday morning, im looking for my phone, i call it to hear the ringing, and im surprised to find it in my pants. theyre still wet, and just thrown on the floor. i take the phone out, get shocked, and throw the phone. so after i pour the water out, i get a rubber glove and blow dry the phone out (i dont have an old tv to put it on top of) and let it sit while im at school. after school, i put it back to gether and turn it on. it makes the sound and all, i can make calls, but the screen just lights up and stays black, so i take it apart and leave it overnight again.

wednesday morning, 7:42 am, i put the phone back together, and throw it on the table. (see first paragraph.) now after about a minute, the screen shuts off, goes white, and now im like "wait, if i can get a white screen (instead of black) then why cant i get a color screen?" so of course, it goes back to normal. i look at the time and im like "cool, its 7:42 am i got time to get to my girlfriends house before school." i just put it in my pocket and go to my girlfriends house, and when i see her she looks at her watch and says its 8 o clock. im like, "ok it doesnt take that long for me to get here, let me see if your clock is wrong." so i pull out my phone, and what do you know, the screens black. so i throw it on a table, thinking i just have to keep throwing the phone untill i get a new one, and it stays black. im like "ok what the hell it worked before" and shes like, "are you ok?"

thursday morning; 7:42 am. some construction guy falls through my roof, smashes my phone on the way in, and the phone starts to work. i look to see what time he fell, incase i needed to sue him or something. 7:42 am. now im just creeped out. so i smash it on the table again, and it turns black.

ok, so my phone will only work at 7:42 am? what is wrong with it????????? i spent the whole day yesterday, smashing it, tryna see if it would work, only to accidentally find it only works at 7:42 am? can anyone tell me what i should do with it tomorow at 7:42 am? is there a way to make the time permantly 7:42 or trick the phone into thinking its 7:42 am. please help, thanks in advance people!

yes it is water damaged, the sticker is pink, thats why i didnt call cingular yet. besides the fact that i got the phone from a small store, and its unlocked.

as you can see, there is absolutely nothing with the screen itself, there is something wrong with the phone now wanting the screen to display an image until 7:42 AM.

It's an L6, they're cheap as hell from where I'm from, even retail.
