    They already dried it out with a hair dryer and also it was like a week ago since it happened so I'm guessing it is as dry as it will get. As for fixing your problem, I'm pretty sure the phone is gone or atleast enough to not be able to make/receive calls, so you most likely will need to replace it. If you do have insurance, then you should just need to pay a deductible to get a new one. If you don't have insurance then you'll need to pay full price for a new one, or just go on Ebay and check around.

    welcome to cpf!

    i have a suggestion...why not try starting your own thread about whatever it is you're wanting to know!

    you'll probably find more responses when you're not 'piggy-backing' on someone else's thread.

    if you have any other questions, check out the FAQ section.

    i had a customer put his phone through the washer 3 TIMES! the phone worked fine after a couple days of drying completely out but there was still a little water that was trapped in the external display.

    i would give you phone another day or two to dry out. set it under a lamp or something. if that doesn't work im not sure what to tell you other than you'll obviously need to buy a new phone.

    later.

    The phone got stuck in the pipes for about a ay or two until i got it out. The i took it apart and dried it off with a hair dryer. I put it back together and let the battrery charge. it turns on now and the screen and everyting works fine. The only problem is it gets no service at all now. An ideas on why and how to fix this?
