my phone has just had an unfortunate encounter with some lemonade. and not behaving normally (as you'd expect)
does anyone know of any companies that can get it back to normal? or will i just have to buy a new one?

Umm Lemonade!
:yes: Perhaps some hairdryer treatment.
I am a complete spaz, so I buy the gangbuster insurance on all my tech so that when I set my hair on fire with a candle lighter and eazycheese and it melts the keyboard of my sidekick, I can send it back in and they don't even bat an eye....
An no, I will never admit if that really happened or not... Cause you know, only freaks eat easycheese...
My_name?
Dosen't ring a bell, but you know, we don't use names at the Spastics Anonymous meetings...
We just reload on the full body bubble wrap and exchange emergency room stories and then head on back to our padded rooms.
That's right. If you're going to get it repaired, get it done quick. If it didn't go too deep (and that's how it sounds, because it still works), I'm guessing it should only need to be opened up and cleaned up with an alcohol based solvent.
cheers for the advice
What I did with old my keyboard when I spilt coke on it. Didn't get rid of the coke though. Scary thing was, the coke actually melted some of the plastic
Reminds me of a guy somewhere (Most likely USA) who stripped his PC down and put the motherboard and stuff through a wash (Might even have been a dishwasher) and then put it all back together after it had dried and worked perfectly well.
That's what I was gonna say as well, but you have to give the phone as many open spaces to allow the liquid to evaporate as possible, ie. remove the battery , any covers you can easily, etc
My dad once found an abandoned
portable TV that was soaking wet - he left it for 1 month to dry out before even daring to turn it on.
Ah, that explains what happened with my router and the apple tango...
That started worked again after a reinstall though...
