My Samsung SYNC got a little wet. Now it just says "download" on the display.

The phone powers up.....the keypad lights up......and the display says "download"......that's it..NOTHING MORE. Is this phone fried?

Samsung Sync

Its one of the most common problem in Samsung SGH-A707.It is mainly due to one reason i,e. your cell got wet.....!!!
But you can try following steps to get rid of it:

Takeout the battery of your phone.
Leave your cell in air for a day or two without attaching battery and battery cover to it.
Put the battery back,it should work.If still problem exists, then I'll recommend you to buy a new battery for your cell........and before you put that new battery in your cell,leave your cell in air for another two days with the same procedure.

Download Mode

You may be able to go on Ebay and find a replacement keypad for the A900. What has happened is etching and a form of electrolysis. When you got it wet, you must have left the battery in the phone. The power from the battery along with the water around you keypad, actually will cross migrate copper from one contact to another and short out the keypad permanently. Your contact that took the phone into download mode is shorted.
