I Know Really Really Stupid. I Was Out This Evening And I Dropped My Blackberry Into A Half Full Cup Of Coffee. It Was In There For Over An Hour. When I Started To Look For It, It Realized What I Had Done. I Immediately Removed The Battery. And Wiped It Out.
Any Help On An Issue Like This?
Sorry to hear about that. I think all you can do now is wash it with some clean water (probably distilled would be best) and let it dry out. Pop the battery back it and hope for the best. Make sure it is fully dry - inside and out - before you turn it back on.
If it was turned off when it fell in the coffee (which it sounds like it wasn't) it may have a chance. If it was powered on and in coffee for that long, sadly it's probably done.

Yikes! Now you got yourself a nice shinny doorstop that use to get e-mail browse the web, play music and videos.
Hope you had insurance!
But really... had it been water..maybe a chance. Coffee? Can you say sticky?
My buddy dropped his in dr pepper and he thought it was done but he gave it to me for parts and I took it completely apart and cleaned it with rubbing alcohol and it turned back on the next day my brothers been using it for 3mos no problems.

I've been frustrated with this too! I've tried to post a couple links so far on the boards and it keeps telling me I need 10 posts. Another one down...
Cream and sugar? Good luck.I frequently put things in my shirt pocket and then bend over to flush! Not a good idea.
Could have happened to us all now I think of it.
