washed mobile phone

[IreneH]

I have just managed to put my daughter's mobile phone through the washer.

Has anyone done this and how did you get the phone to recover?

Erm, I'm afraid I don't think it will!

My neighbour's mobile tipped out of his shirt pocket, straight down the loo. He's a retired church minister, and even divine intervention couldn't resurrect his!

Irene I did the same
I blow dried it for a while then put it in the airing cupboard - tried it every day
gave up all hope on day four bought a cheap one and now 9 months later DH is still using the nice clean one that started working on day five

take it apart i.e battery sim card etc lay it in between a towel and leave for rest of day i have done this numerous times and always worked again .... unless its a touch screen then it prob wont

Try useing the hair dryer take the battery out and sim card out and dry. Hopefully will work again but doesnt always work

use the hairdryer on it and leave it near the heater, sometimes that works. xx

Ooops!

I think you'll have best chance with airing cupboard. A guy knocked a pint over mine in a pub once and it went off for ages. Put it in airing cupboard and after AGES it worked again...think it had a hangover x

OH poured coffee over mine at the W/E. He took it to bits and put the pieces on the radiator to dry out. It's working fine now!
