No buttons work except for end button, and was dropped in the water.

Oh I did the same thing not too long ago! There is no way to fix it, but it will start working again eventually.

hey
since the phone is ringing and you are able to dial the mother board is intact. you dont need the display i will send the sequence of keys to be pressed which will lead to copying of the contacts to the sim.
then you can put the sim in a different phone and view them.


menu( center button in the joystick key)
up (in joystick key)
center button
center button
top left button( above the call key)
up (in joystick key)
center button
top left button( above the call key)
down(in joystick key)
center button
center button

now it will start copying all the contacts to your sim.
wait for a minute or two
and then you have the contacts copied to your sim.
b4 copying clear the sim so that it has enough memory to copy all your contacts


hope it helps

This is a device issue due to water damage. You will need to contact your service provider for replacement options!

your P850 needs to send for repair. call 1.800.235.6325 for repair

You can try to disassemble the front cover and clean the joystick.

The ultimate solution is to replace the joystick yourself or at a repair store, since samsung probably wont accept the phone for warranty effects

Good luck

take it to the company and they may trade it in for a new one and plus there is no possible way to fix water damage

you can take the battery and the back off the device and place in completely submerged in a bag of white rice and leave it in there for 1 to 2 days this will help absorb the moisture, this should fix it if the water did not damage the circut boards if the water damaged the circut boards then the device is fried

You should take the phone to a mobile service center and have them fully service the phone for you.

YOU NEED TO TAKE THE PHONE AND HAVE THE SUB-KEYBOARD REPLACED ON TEH PHONE ALSO HAVE THE PHONE FULLY SERVICE
