Several days ago, my husband accidentally sent his brand new phone through the wash. We got it for free with our “new every 2” -year program at Verizon Wireless.
Anyway, it went through the wash. It came out intermittantly buzzing. We took out the battery, and allowed it to air dry.
After reading up on what to do next on the Internet, we put it into a baggie with a silica bag that I was lucky enough to find. We read that we should leave it alone for 3 days and see what it did.
Today, we plugged in the battery and then the power cable, and there was a reaction. We got the phone to boot up.
So far, though, it’s saying that it can’t find the network, and the camera flash on the outside of the camera is always on. I suppose this would help us to always find it quickly, but we decided to take the battery out again and stuff it back in the baggie with the silica.
We’ll try it again Sunday night to see what happens.
