Its an lg env2, and when I opened it........more water came out. To make things worse, there were some peppermints in my purse, and the water had melted them and everything was sticky! Wiped everything off, and figured it was a lost cause........
Luckily, we had insurance on it, but I got busy, and forgot about it for a couple of days. I had taken the battery out and laid it on the table in two pieces........
Yesterday, my husband calls me at school, (I was using his old ugly one) and the readout says "wifes phone"
He had put the battery back in, plugged it in and let it charge, and now it works like new!
Had I panicked and sent away for a replacement right away, I would have never known that just letting it dry completely would do the trick, and I would have been out $50......(deductible)
amazing what kind of abuse these things can take.....  |
Let me tell you a story...
I was carrying around a bottle of water, and didn't realize the lid wasn't on right.
Long story short, I open my bag, and notice the bottle is about completely empty. I pick it out of the bag (luckily the bag has water tight compartments as it's my laptop bag) and notice my phone was at the bottom of a pool of water. ARRRRGGGGG....
Mine is still dead though... Though, I might try it again....
