    I have a 8330 curve using Verizon. It got wet at a football game last weekend. now it will boot up, bring up the screen for a few seconds, and then go dark. I found out I could bring the screen back up by putting the USB charging cable in, or pulling it out. None of the buttons seem to work. Pressing a button will not light up the screen. Only pulling the battery out and putting back in, or pluging in the USB cable. The unit was dried out using a desicator, and the battery shows a charge for the brief period the screen is visible.

    Is there a way to do a hard re-boot if the buttons don't work? Any advice? Is there a reputable repair facility? Verizon doesn't seem to be of any assistance with replacement other than pay full price for a new unit.
