My KEYone experienced water damage. Is there anything I could do?
Hi,
So I should never have brought my K1, which I just got on Thursday afternoon, over to Acapulco. My phone was in my girlfriend's purse with a towel wrapped around it and this huge wave came out of nowhere, turned the purse over and made both our phones wet (hers much more than mine). Hers was completely dead, but mine still turned on but behaved weirdly. We put the phones in rice for almost 24 hours. Hers actually worked perfectly after that (a Sony Xperia X Compact) while mine is just stuck on this start-up loop every 3 seconds. I cannot make it turn on. I have this acquaintance coming over later today (I think) who is really good with electronics. He is going to try to open it up... I don't know what else to do. Warranty never covers water damage. I'm so gutted, because like many of you, I waited for this thing for like 7 months. I'm back to using my old Dtek50 now... It seems the K1 is extremely sensitive when it comes to water...
Tragicomically, right before we went down to the beach I was showing off my brand spanking new K1 to my friends who were very impressed. I thought about not bringing the phone down to the beach, but there were so many interesting things there to shoot with the camera (like the ruins of an enormous, abandoned drug-lord hotel etc...).
Any suggestion would be most welcomed.
Thanks
