HELP! ='(06-27-09 11:27 AMLike 0 - Sith_ApprenticeMod Team Emeritusits likely your phone is dead. You should leave it without the battery in it for days in bags of dry rice if your device got wet. Wetting it again is not really a good idea unless you used distilled water06-27-09 11:31 AMLike 0
- You might have stood a chance if it was bottled water but due to the highly corrosive tendencies of seawater I'd say its probably a lost cause. Even if you are able to revive it that will most likely be only temporary.

You should have immediately taken the battery out and not put it back in for a least 5 days.
You should have immediately rinsed it with clear (preferably distilled) water to remove the salt.
You should NEVER blow dry it as this can push the water deeper.
You should have placed it in a sealed container of uncooked rice to help draw out the moisture.
Unfortunately by putting the battery back in so soon and with the salt still in it, you likely fried it beyond repair.06-27-09 12:06 PMLike 0
