Cellphone with waterdamage..need help

I recently had a mishap with my cell phone it took a dive with me in the pool and its back up , some buttons dont work but its up and running. The only problem is that it says " No service " ... anyone have any ideas about getting this fixed or any tricks ...
Dont want to buy another new cell phone...

Thanks

at least it's not another Iphone thread!

Electronics and water don't mix well. The worst thing you can do in this type of situation is to try and turn the phone on while it's still wet.

I've had surprisingly good luck with cell phones surviving water. I accidentally left a phone in a snow bank last year, when my gf found it in the spring it had dried out and worked perfectly.

Your best bet now would be to disassemble the phone and leave it that way for a while to let any residual moisture evaporate. If that fails you may be s.o.l.

Good luck

my old Samsung phone took a dive in a water tank.. never really recovered.. so it's 50/50 chance!

99% your phone is bricked.

Posted by mnemonic. on Feb-20-2009 21:53:

in all seriousness microwave it (if it's still in warranty)

The trick is to find or invent a time machine and kick your (past) self in the sack just seconds before the accident occurs.

However, most people find that a time machine is more expensive than a new phone, so they opt for buying a new phone instead.
