Same trouble with my Curve a few months ago. You are likely going to have to get a replacement.

Once the damage is done, it's done. For future reference, the longer you can afford to let it dry out (a week or more even), the better chance it will work and keep working.

I dropped my phone in water... And it won't turn

It's an electronic device so it would be very difficult if it'll fell in water. first remove its shell and then get a hair dryer and turn it to low. carefully blow dry the insides of your phone. if you are using an iphone it would be best to consult a phone tech.

good luck!!

disassemble it as much as you can. leave it in a dry warm environment for about a week to dry out. put it back together in about a week. charge up the battery and power it up. cross your fingers it may work.

p.s. was it on when it fell in the water ?

My DS has fell into the tolit.

DO NOT try to turn it back on or charge it. Instead do the following:

- Shake out as much water as you can and dry it off as best you can.

- Get a tupperware or other sealing container at least three times the size of your DS and fill it about half-full with rice.

- Put the DS in the rice. Might be an idea to wrap it loosely in paper towel to avoid getting rice dust in it.

- Leave it for a few days to dry out. Every 12hr or so, remove the DS and shake the rice around a bit.

Works for cell phones and other gear too.

Fell in a toilet.

Quickly remove the battery and unplug the device, If possible, put it in a container or dry rice and let it set for a couple days. this should work, when it is dry remove from rice and see if it works... Do you have insurance?

Spilled water on BB Curve

After getting a phone wet, the best way to dry it out safely and quickly is to pull the battery and bury the phone in a bowl filled with (uncooked) rice for a day. The rice acts as a desiccant and remove any excess moisture.

If the phone still does not work correctly, it may be time to find a replacement.

BlackBerry 8310 red blinking led indicator (it fell in water)

If your BlackBerry gets covered in water, act fast and rationally, and you may be able to save your device.
1. DO NOT TRY TO TURN IT ON
2. Pull out the battery.
3. Please your device and battery into a bowl of uncooked rice to absorb any moisture.
4. Please it in a warm, dry place where it can receive direct sunlight.
5. Be patient. It is recommended that you leave it in there for at least 48 hours.
6. After 48 hours, put the battery back in and power on.

Ipon the ipods case up. then Put the ipod in a zip lock bag full of uncooked raw white rice. seal the bag and leave it in there for 2 days. rice absorbs water. it should dry it up.
dont try to plug the ipod in or it will fry the circuit and you will destroy it.
If you need to know how to open an ipod case go to my website.
