Whip the battery out, phone and battery into gruesome hot press, nip to chemist and get yourself a bottle of isopropyl alcohol,

Dismantle said phone,

Wipe down pcbs with said alcohol,

Leave in hotpress for about 3 days,

Re assemble phone and you should be working again....


I have had to soak pcbs in alcohol for.24hrs or so before but it works....

Or go to kitchen draw and get old phone out and swap sim card .

I did the same but took the phone apart and left it to dry out for 3 days. Put it back together. And it worked! .....apart from the fact it stopped making any noise or vibration when it rang!

I now have a waterproof phone which does the job well

Should have the same functionality as usual then...

Obviously the woman's fault!

They should always check the pockets before washing.

A good right hook, followed by some lovin' and problem resolved.

Take battery and sim out, fill a food bag with rice, completely bury phone in the rice. Do food bag up, and make sure you squeeze out any excess air.

Leave for 24/48hrs. Works a charm, even on my iphone!
