[QUOTE="Visor57, post: 84525, member: 759"] If you're up for attempting to fix the phone yourself (what do you have to lose?), here's a trick a friend let me in on: strip your phone down as far as possible while still remaining confident that it can be reassembled. You may want to rinse any soap excess off at this point and pat dry. Then grab a Tupperware lunchbox container and fill it half way with rice. Insert the cleaned phone and bits and fill the container with rice making sure everything is properly covered, then seal the container. Leave this for a day or so (the longer the better) and the rice will absorb every bit of moisture, hopefully before any serious corrosion sets in. I fixed my wife's drowned Nokia in this fashion and it still works fine. I'd consider replacing the battery though just to be safe. [/QUOTE]
