I recently came from the beach for new years and my bold got some water damage and it doesnt turn on. I tried taking the battery out and letting it dry but had no luck. So please if anyone can help me or give me some advice on how or where i can maybe can it repaired it would be greatly appreciated...Thanks

Sounds like the device is dead.. water + bold =

Ed: Yet, on the flip side, if there is no OBVIOUS marks of water damage (the sticker near the battery), then you could always claim "defective".. yet this only works in some occasions..

This is the case I use with my phone when I go near water.

After you got this figured out, you might want to invest in one for next time.

Remove the battery.
Pack the phone in a paper bag with dry un-cooked rice.
The rice will slowly absorb the water.
Leave in a warm, not hot place for a few days.
Reinstall the battery then turn on.
Good luck.

there's a thread lying around on the same issue.
use uncooked rice and leave it on the top of the radiator
since u cant get it replaced, this seems like the only viable option for now

give it a few days and try booting up the device

don't boot up now coz the battery might cause a short circuit

Some devices have a second water-sticker under all the screws and such. The first one is just to quickly see what the deal is, but then some people replace the sticker (scammers), but didn't know there was an inside one the tech will see anyway. I don't know if the bold has it or not.

Use the rice trick, and if all else fails, you'll get a new phone. If you're in canada, get the water protection from the source.

If you purchased insurance, put in a claim.

I would get this...but I don't think my arms are up to all the ladies I would have to beat off when I pull this sexy beast out at the beach.
