I would say turn it off open it and try compressed air or something like that but make sure it is dried completely before you turn it back on because it can fry some stuff.

try using a hair dryer on low

EEEeee Gads! Don't open it it will void ur warranty. But I agree u can use blowdryer on low. Had water in my screen for a while used blowdryer an then wrapped in in towel an left it alone til seemed to b completely dry. Do not rush this it will fry ur BB. Good Luck

Don't open it up because it will void your warranty????

So washing the phone doesn't void the warranty?????????????

Dropped my pearl into the toilet right next to a turd and my friend's picture on Myspace was looking back up at me through the water. I grabbed it real quick and pulled the battery. The phone is sealed well enough that no water actually went inside. (The gaps around the phone's body didn't allow the air inside the phone out and so no water got in). But I thought it was pretty gross, so disassembled and washed the phone with soap and water, soaked in methanol for sterilization, and used compressed air then a 90 degree F forced air oven for drying. After which the LCD was still very foggy and dim like yours, but after being on for a few hours, the warmth of the LCD dried itself out. The phone is back 100%. I wish I had a photo.

Well well, arent you lucky! One other suggestion I have seen in a lot of threads is to leave the phone in a sack of rice for a couple days...that helps absorb all the moisture.

Judging by my mental image of that well-described "turd
" incident, im glad you dont!

I have heard the same about the rice. Try it and let us know if it works.

Turds = Bad
Rice = Good

OMG!!! There is NO Way I could use that phone again

[fumbduck]

Turds = TMI.

OMG...that is just so gross!!! I would sterilize it a second time!!! I think even if it worked, all I would picture every time I picked it up would be that "turd." LOL....More power to ya...not sure I could use it after that.
