So I think it's salvageable. I hope so, I really love this phone and am only 7months into my contract, and I really like it.
It's just that, I was just told by a bartender friend (and I read online), people who swear by it, that this situation is caused by sugars/impurities hardening in the electrics etc. And that if you remove battery etc, rinse with 91%+ pure alcohol, and then leave for exactly 5 days somewhere warm (not a second sooner), it has a very high chance of dissolving impurities, evaporating, and being fine. And this friend has done it several times. Sounds wild to me, but I don't know... :S
I'll explore repairing options, if it seems expensive, might just get a new one, and then try this technique and get back to you.
It's really frustrating, like 15ml dripped onto it for like a split second before I removed the battery etc. Anyway.
Thanks for the replies so far guys!
