Water damaged Blackberry

[janee]

My water bottle spilt all over my 2 day old Blackberry on way to Gym before I had chance to insure it! Anyone know any Brighton repair shops?

Have you dried it out properly? Try puting it in rice.

Take it apart. Put it in uncooked rice and place in an airing cupboard.

if its just water, should be fine once dried out.

Yeah, rice is apparently the best trick. Uncooked of course!

its f***ed ....all the thin copper inside will be corroding , sorry old boy.........speaking from experience here.

 

[janee]

Yep tried the drying out stuff and it's f*cked! Some repair sites claim 90% success! Anyone any experience?

 

[sydney]

buy another one , insure it.....claim on the damaged one , sell the other .........best i can do son , sorry.

I have dropped the same phone in the bath twice and managed to rescue it with the rice and airing cupboard trick both times so it's not always doom and gloom.
Also, check what bank account you have: most paid accounts have mobile phone insurance included. If not, check with your home contents insurer as most of them cover accidental damage outside the home.

Blessing in disguise. Bin it and buy an iPhone.

insure it over the phone, I doubt they will want proof its working. Wait 2 weeks, drop it in water again and claim

Gary leeds - did exactly that but they refused my claim stating that they could tell my sim wasnt in it when i claimed I'd damaged it!
