Help me save my style!!
- All right, long story short, I put my BB through the wash. *****, yes, I know.
It gets worse.
After letting it dry overnight, I tried to put the battery in. I've never gotten a phone wet before, so I just assumed after it dried out you were supposed to, yanno, see if it worked. The thing is, my phone was dead when I put it through the wash. So, after letting it dry for a few more hours, I tried plugging it in.
*****.
At first I was happy because my phone was resetting, but I paniced because I didn't want to mess up my phone. Now it's sitting in a bowl of rice waiting for me to figure out what to do next.
Here's the thing.
After about 5 hours in rice I got impatient and plugged it in. It loaded, got a signal, told me I had a thousand messages, and when I went to check them....
The keyboard no work.
It lights up and everything! Is it dead? Is it over? What is a guy to do? I love the Style and my carrier doesn't carry it anymore. Would a new keypad work?07-12-11 06:36 AMLike 0 - I suspect it may be dead. I have always heard to IMMEDIATELY pull the battery, dry it off as best you can, and put in the rice (like you now did) and leave it FOR A COUPLE DAYS (not hours). At this point, I would leave it in the rice and go on line to price replacements. Hope you recently synced and backed up. Wish I had a magical cure; I feel your pain.
HeHe.... just caught your user name. Kinda describes your BB right now. :-)
