Guys it's just happened to me.
Has anybody else done it and if so, did you manage to fix it?
Somebody help me out and offer some tips for what to do. It's now on the boiler to try and dry out.

I heard that you should put it in a freezer to freeze the moisture in side?
I Have washed money
No, but I walked into a swimming pool with my phone in my pocket
That was a big 'D'oh'
i did it once (H)
gave it back and got a new one for free
Ok ok guys I need to know fixing tips.
Anybody got asecond opinion on BL!NKEY's idea?
I think you are also supposed to take the battery out
u should search google
Thanks alot for the advice mate.
+rep
Remove the Electrical bits first? That would be a start xD
Battery & Open wires are a big remove.
I got these two tips from a website:
'I did this once. I placed the phone in a ziplock bag with uncooked rice, and placed the bag under an incandescent bulb. The rice absorbed the moisture. The phone worked, after about a day of drying.
Of course, YMMV. You might also want to try a desiccant, swiped from a closet somewhere.
Good luck.'
'Hopefully you have not turned it on. DO NOT turn it on. As funkbrain said, use a bunch of desiccants, and let it dry for a good week. If you have hard water, and depending on what you use to clean your close you might be SOL. The chemicals could have caused corrosion to the delicates inside the phone. I'd give the desiccant and time a try at least before spending whatever it costs to replace a phone.'
Btater and covers are now off.
Phone is on top of the boiler.
i washed mine 16 times its fine lol i got the rubber nokia fone tho :P
Lmao well that's no good, the damn thing's water resistant :p.
i no lol
No, but I've ruined £40 in notes before. >.>
Nope. I've washed my wallet with £50+ in it before though :9
i've washed my Parents credit card... Not allowed to do washing again till i got my own place.
That's not as bad as washing money though. ;PQuote:

I did it once and I went to the O2 shop and said ''My phone just stopped working and I don't know why'' and they gave me a brand new one. ^-^
Put a tenner in before now. My dads phone fell in the sink once (it was full of water[the sink not the phone]), and he took it apart and left it to dry, then put it together again and it worked ;)
they check it i took mine to a phone shop but not an official 1 like in a market and they fix it 4 u for like a tenner
Nah.Quote:

My advice is that if you would get a new phone easliy...without spending money....try to fix it b4 telling your parents/gaurdians/whoever that you need a new phone...they will feel pleased with you for being responsible and TRYING to fix it 1st and perhaps buy you a new phone :)
I put my phone in the wash once. It wasn't a good idea...It never worked after that....It gave me an excuse to get the new phone I wanted though :) hehe
My mum dropped her sim card in a glass of wine once.
