Buttons I accidentally dropped my phone in a jar of peppers and their juice...I grabbed it immediately and took out my battery and sim card. I let it dry for a couple of days but now when I put everything back in and turned it on the buttons don't work...

Oops. the next time something like this happens to any electronic device, immediately remove the battery and sim card if you can, and let the device dry in a warm dry place for several hours before you replace the battery and sim. Then retry. You will probably have to have it professionally repaired.

I’m happy to assist further over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/bill_f6ca18ca1db028ed

You should have turned it off immediately then removed the battery and put it in a dry warm place to dry out completely.
It looks like the cell phone is damaged and it may not be repairable. You could try a cell phone repairer, I suggest you get a quote as it may not be worth repairing.

Bring it to the nearest service center. In the meantime, don't put the battery on it. It may lead to more complicated problems.

Hello my friend,if the phone`s board is oxidized now there is nothing you can do anymore.You should immediately open your mobile unplug everything and try to dry everything with a hairdressers gun and leave the battery and the Sim card out for some hours when you dropped it into the water.Also make sure that Sim card and battery is completely dry before install it again.The only thing you can try is to go to your manufacture support site and download the latest firmware and reinstall it.

Sorry to tell you, but your phone is dead.
You can put the SIM card in your new phone.

your card is trashed. the wwtnees corruped all your files. it you put it in a computer and it never registers than its offically dead

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

I had the same problem!! This might help: 1. Take out the battery, SIM card, and memory card (if applicable). 2. Let the phone sit in the sun for a couple of days. 3. Put the SIM card back in the phone and plug the phone charger into the phone. 4. When prompted, insert the battery into the phone 5. When battery is fully charged, remove the charger and depress the call button simultaneously.

I tired this and the phone is now working!!! Also, I do not seem to have lost any of the features!

Good Luck!!!

If it is not ruined you could leave it in a jar of dry rice. This should take care of the moisure.
