My phone went swimming in some rice krispies and now it doesn't work :crying:
It looked like it was coming round earlier by flashing its lights but then it gave up the fight
GAH i haven't got a house phone!
so sad it was lovely and pink

Do what person above said and see what happens
oops...
One of my colleagues a few thousand miles away told him that we'd had a look at the handset and decided that the cause of the fault was that he'd had it in his pocket when he'd gone swimming :rolleyes:
Honestly ! :rolleyes: ...
Why the hate for the phone, clearly it didnt nosedive itself in the toilet, you threw it, i know the truth ! :razz:
*will give you my number again laters*
Or in hot chocolate. That is how one of my phones came to a sticky (quite literally!) end
lots of phone companies/phone shops can fix water damaged phones, but not ones in milk
maybe it`s because it dries hard? not sure, but thats what i`ve been told by someone who works in o2
Only if they replace the PCB. Water corrodes the tracks - at which point the board is scrap, and the phone is essentially rebuilt. If the phone is not powered on when wet, water damage will be far, far smaller. Even if it appears to work, turn it off, remove the battery, and get it dry.
Yes, I used to repair phones for Nokia.
