Not A Good Start To The Week...

Featured Replies

Well yesterday I decided to give the Volvo a thorough clean and as everything smelled of dog I used quite a lot of warm water. The result thereof was a puddle of water in the passenger's door pocket, which I forgot to mop up. When going out later that evening, what did I put in said pocket? My mobile phone. What is not working today? My mobile phone!

It's a Nokia 520 and I did take the battery out and let it sit last night to hopefully dry out, but even now although there is less visible water inside the screen it still doesn't display anything. The phone powers on and vibrates, beeps et cetera, plus the back lights illuminate but nothing displays.

What do you reckon it will work again tomorrow?

This has just been the final nail in the coffin after all the financial expenses of the past few days.

If it doesn't start working again I will contact Three and see if they can give me an early upgrade (contract expires in December this year), although I doubt it.

So, has anybody else given their smartphone a "bath" and did it start working again?



Put it in a bag of rice and into a warm cupboard for a few days, it 'might' work after it dries out

Could be worse, you could have fallen asleep in the garden today like i did, i could fry an egg on my chest at the minute!:angry: That is my actual colour!:lol:
