I got in the hot tub with my black berry pearl. i realized this, took it out, took it apart, dried it out, stuck it in rice. its been about a week since its been in rice. i made the mistake of turning it on before the rice and the screen flickered alot. i got scared and turned it off again. but now after the week in rice, the blackberry works 90%. the camera = gone forever, but the main screen is very very light. i need to tilt the phone forward to get all the colors to be visible. any way of fixing this?
The screen has been damaged internally. You also might have risked frying out the hardware with turning it on with the moisture still inside the phone. It also sounds like some of the moisture may still be stuck inside the phone which could cause the screen to have problems.
If you would like to try, you can take apart the phone to try and remove moisture that way. This guide http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NQxMmsrnwfU will help you out in doing so. Also understand by taking apart the phone it voids any warranty. Yet since you dropped the Pearl in the water, its already out of warranty since the little water sensitive strips (inside and outside) the phone have been turned red which destroys the warranty.
Your best option is to just get the phone replaced because a phone never works the same after water damage.
Hope this helps;
