I spent so much to get the z10 and less than 3months, i have it soaked in water just cos I placed it on a tab and some leakage found its way into it through the ports despite having a case. Still don't know how cos it wasn't immersed.... :-(

Switch it off (if it isn't already) and immerse it in a packet of rice overnight, to let it dry out.

There's a chance (just a chance) it is salvageable

"Place it on a tab"

Huh?

"Tub". No z10, errors happen

Do the rice thing mentioned earlier. For a minimum of 24 hours. Make sure it's uncooked rice. Jus' sayin'.

[Vurhan]

Yeah, unplug battery immediately, do not try to power it, blot wet spots, leave it in rice for 3 nights at least to be safe.

If you have any silica packets kicking around you can pop them in with the rice for maximum dessiccation. Good luck.

That sucks. I agree, try the rice trick! It works wonders!

[ErinnM]

I hope you put it in rice by now!

The rice trick has saved me a number of times... dropped my 9800 in a mud puddle last spring... total submerged.... yanked the battery and sims.... dropped it in a bag of rice in a burlap sack ( increases obsorbtion ) for 2 days... she fired up.... have used the same trick with laptops... I found the trick is yank the battery immediately after retrieving the device.... good luck...

Tried that as well. Great call. Its one thing to use after soaking up a "bit" of moisture from a tub, its another when one forgets his Torch (& Bold) in the cargo pocket of your pants and t makes it thru the spin cycle! LoL. I save all my silica packets and containers for a "just in case" moment Just like this ...

[alysem]

wonder if he saved it

[soapydarren]

Thanks to you all......i got the rice and tried it. It's back on now and hasn't shown a trace of anything negative yet...mal though i must confess, I'm keeping both eyes opened and looking out for any slight trace of anything abnormal. i wanna say thank you all for the help. MUAH

Awesome.

I hope I wasn't too smart alecky with the comment about the rice being cooked. If I hadn't seen it happen once, I wouldn't have mentioned it.

[imcurved]

Whatever you do DON'T TURN IT ON. I was dumb but you don't have to be. DON'T USE A BLOWDRYER either. Remove the battery and place them in a container of rice. Leave them alone for at least ten days. Good luck.

Phew! Glad it worked out. And now I know what to do if it happens to my Z10.

Is it a good idea to put the compromised phone near a mild heat source like a radiator?
