My 2 year old sister threw my kyocera X-tc phone in the pool 3 days ago. The first thing I did was dry it off and take the battery out, I dried the battery and the phone again, and put the battery in. I turned on my phone and everything worked but the screen! I took the battery out and tried other things nothing worked everytime everything but the screen worked!

Once it has been in water, it is basically ruined - repair would cost way more than replacement.

first wah it with acetone solution , let it dry for 2 hours undr sunlight and then flash it ------enjoy

If it was not totally dried before turning it on again, probably it got damaged. you can try to completely dry the phone before trying to use again.
Here is the procedure to take out all moisture trapped in the phone: wrap each piece, phone and accessories, in newspaper. Place a few handfuls of rice into a plastic bag and then place the wrapped phone in the bag with rice. The newspaper wrapping avoids direct contact of rice with your phone because the dust from the rice can get into the small areas of the phone. The newspaper and rice will absorb moisture. Leave it there (with the bag open) at least 24 hrs. Hope this helps!

Hi, so long its is dry you can put it back but if its not dry still wait awhile..
cheers

MY NEPHEW THREW MINE IN THE POOL BUT I GOT IT OUT QUICK AND PUT IT IN A BOWL OF DRY RICE AND IT TOOK ALL THE WATER OUT OF THE PHONE AND IT STARTED WORKING AGAIN.

I droped my cell phone in the lake, opps. Took the batter out and left batter and open phone on hot dash of my vehicle for a couple of days. somehow this dried out the components and the phone still works. You maight give this window bake a try. Also a phone call to Kodak wont hurt, they seem pretty good about repairs and cutomer retention. Good luck.

soak in rubbing alcohol and let dry for a couple of days shake out excess alcohol and make sure(take out battery first)is completly dry before recharging!!!! Good Luck!!! had cell phone drop in lake did that and worked!!!

There is a possibility of it working again but water damage does alot of damaging things to phones. The best solution is to take the battery out and don't use it or try to charge it for a few days. Let it completely dry out and it might work but chances are slim. No matter what you hear or read do not place it in the oven, dry it with a hair dryer or even place it in rice. Those things will actually cause more damage to your phone.

First a comment - my 2 yr/old threw one of my Nokia phones into our pool a few years ago - I took the battery off and let it dry and it powered up just fine - I replaced the phone to be sure I had continued coverage but for the moment DON'T PANIC!

Log in to your service provider and print your most recent calls - you will likely remember who you called or who called you so you at least have some back up information.

I assume your phone service provider is AT&T - unfortunately your phone is not supported by their wireless backup program - a program that costs about $2.00 a month and auto syncs your contacts to a database on line. Make sure you select a phone that is compatible and subscribe to the wireless back up plan when you replace your phone - the $24 year is well worth the extra assurance!

ok, I had my k9- it was stashed in my filthy backpack, so I washed my backpack in the washer..forgot the phone for like..30 minutes..big screw-up- i pulled my soaking and newly cleaned k9 out of the washer and was like.i am screwed..I spoke to friend the next day and this is important advice..DO NOT TRY TO TURN IT ON! But Take out the battery, Then get uncooked rice-yes rice (no joke) get a air-tight zip lock -container -fill the container with rice and put the phone inside-seal-it-up...the rice will absorb all the excess moisture..if you leave it in..24-48 hours..no joke it worked for me..but if you try to turn it on before it is dry..you will fry the phone..disconnect battery.. put in dry-uncooked rice-air seal-wait 24-48-hours..wallla a dry -functioning phone..good luck--steve-o
