    thanks for the replys
    Is it still fine? My friend just dropped his cell in water & I'll probably tell him to do what you did.

    Don't drop your cellphone in salt water though. My friend did that last summer and well... let's just say it died.

    most nokia phones can work again if you dry it for a month or two.

    thanks
    did you try putting diff sim card to this phone?
    try that if you get a signal your old sim card have the damage.
    try putting your old sim card to diff phone, to see if you can get a signal.

    I use to be a cell tech and I had to repair alot of water damaged phones, usually if it is dropped in something that can create a film on the board , like soda, beer, dish water with soap, the best bet is to rinse the device, and use a hairdryer, make sure the batter is removed first, repeat this step at least several times to make sure any residue is removed, one time is not good enough in most cases, basically you want to rinse away the bad product that is on the device, that works about 1 in 5 times in my years of experience

    If you still intend on using your 6126 that was water damaged, try the ff steps.

    Take phone apart -> rinse PCB board in cold distilled water -> let it dry with either using a hairdryer, in an oven at low temperature, or on top of a tv or PC monitor vent -> leave it to dry for at least a week.

    There are other guides to water damaged phones on the net. Just use a search engine to find them.

    Sim Cards cannot be effected by water as there are no electronic parts on a sim card. I've washed my sim card in my jeans and put it in my phone with no problems. If the phone isn't working it's likely due to a phone problem.

    it seems like your phone is fine, the sim card tho.. might not be alright. metal can be wet while its off, drying it doesnt really change metal. but sim cards i think are made out of like.. plastic, or something that can be effected by water.

    if you drop your phone often, i would suggest you get some kind of case to protect it from scratches, 600 dollars is alot of money to be droped without protection
