SkiD_PL8 0 #1 September 15, 2005 So here I am sitting at work when this girl I work with comes over to me with her cell phone dripping wet and asks me what she should do. I turned it off, took the battery out, sat it on a fan and told her to come back in an hour. She just came back I put it together and it works fine. She said "Thank you so much, some things are good wet but my cell phone isn't one of them." Greenie in training. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bolas 5 #4 September 15, 2005 Tell her to get a new phone. Even though it is working, the minute they hit water when they are on, they're dead. If she doesn't it will flake out on her in a few weeks. Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The above mentioned method has worked everytime for me. A friend of mine also tested it on a video camera in TF after he took it for a swim. As for her number I don't need it my girlfriend is hot.

Kris 0 #15 September 15, 2005 Quotehttp://www.markusleonhardt.de/en/oelrechner.html[/url] Not really, there is a picture of a computer sitting in a fish tank full of oil. Dielectric oil or Fluorinert is different from soda. The phone almost certainly won't have it's normal lifespan, and unless the phone was rinsed with distilled water, then alcohol, it'll probably start to oxidize / corrode its metals over the next few weeks to months.Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
