I emptied out the washing machine and I discovered I did something stupid. I washed my cellphone! Its an old flipphone so really no big loss but I cannot get a replacement right now. Is it possible to bring it back to life by carefully using a hairdryer or something? Or is it dead? The screen did power on for a moment, no text or pictures just blank, but no sound and the lcd itself looks damaged. Awards

Pour out/Blow out any water that is still sitting there with compressed air then leave it in a sealed container of rice overnight which should help to absorb the moisture coming off of it http://www.popularmechanics.com/technology/gadgets/how-to/a3419/4269047/ Blaze 1 Awards

Take can and turn upside down and dosh the phone... it will freeze and look broken even more but it will help displace any water. Once it unfreezes then toss in a bag of rice. This works great if you spill soda, OJ or cum on it as well.

Funny thing is, after thinking about it I was sure I had another one of these around that I didnt use anymore. But I cant find it. Awards
