Have you put your phone in danger by exposing it to water/liquid. Could be pee, could be a bottle of beer, could be both or you just finished having a warm bath and realised that while you danced shoki you were splashing water on your precious BlackBerry, well, too bad.But just before you start panicking here’s what you can do with no extra hand.
WARNING:

Whatever you do, DO NOT TRY TO TURN YOUR PHONE ON DURING THIS RECOVERY.

Step 1

Remove battery (and other removables) immediately and put it away for a few days.

Step 2

Using a soft towel/cloth put the phone gently face down onto it. The keyboard is the major source for water entry into the phone and is almost always the victim,so tap it gently and allow gravity to work.

Step 3

Go to a pharmacy/drug store and buy 100% rubbing alcohol(likely 91% might be the best you can find). Fill a bowl with enough alcohol(do not use liquor or monkey tail. Do not use anything with coloring. Take the phone, place gently in the bowl, and shake it lightly then remove from the bowl and repeat step 2. Don’t worry, alcohol evaporates so it won’t worsen your condition.

Step 4

This is where you wait.You wait till your name na waiter. Wait until you think it is dry, then wait some more. The alcohol that you rinsed your phone with displaced the water, now it must evaporate.There are some risks to long term alcohol exposure for your phone – it can break seals so we recommend waiting at least 4 days. We know you can’t live without your phone for that long….but you need to chill out because this saves your time of trying to get a technician and saves you some cash too.

Step 5

Drying location. The best location is NEXT to an air conditioning vent. Not on top, not directly in line. We don’t want any forced air action, but the passive effects are great. The Sun is not a bad idea too, but you know you can’t control the heat coming from the sun (which can even damage the device further), so be sure to monitor the temperature of your device – too hot is not too good.

Step 6

Put battery in. Watch closely to see if anything is different from before. Flashing, smoking, flames, and booms are all bad things. Normal is good. If it turns on completely, check EVERY button so you don’t have a surprise. Test out your salvaged phone. If it works, rejoice!

Others also advice you use a Hair-Dryer or simply open the device and put it in a bowl of uncooked rice as this will absorb all moisture.
Note:
Alcohol is particularly helpful when the liquid was NOT water. It removes the sticky residue from your phone. That sticky residue really kills your keyboard.Good Luck!

DISCLAIMER: YOUR PHONE MIGHT ALREADY BE GONE FOR GOOD. THIS IS JUST AN ATTEMPT TO GIVE YOU THE BEST ADVICE POSSIBLE TO FIX YOUR PHONE. IF THIS DOES NOT FIX YOUR PHONE, IT ISN’T FathomBerry’s FAULT. YOU’RE THE ONE WHO DROPPED IT IN THE FIRST PLACE.

I'm awake and so are a couple of NairaLanders.
Maybe you're up cause you have something to do or you're just awake for no reason. Why shouldn't we have our own thread??
We could share our thoughts, happenings and even imaginations.

Thread Opens : Midnight
Thread Closes : 5 AM (just before the rest of NL wakes up)

So those who are always awake from midnight with little or nothing to do should turn up here.

Warlord3000:
Is it just me or everyone talking gibberish..

Whatever happens to one time integration by just putting the code in your template with the HTML/JAVASCRIPT "gadget"

Or better yet add it into your template script.. Thats all...

No need of posting code ever again

Gbam!

My tutor once said "some take weeks to write hundred lines of code, while some can write just one line of code to perform the same function"

Please I don't know if this question has even been asked on this forum, but is it right (or wrong) to eat that 1st slice of bread or even the last one.
Most people I know serve it to their dogs.

I don graduate.

OBJ comes to mind tho :-x

It also serves as a chair, they don't have to stand for long.

Mellin:
have u dedicated? If no don't ask me anything cos I said it earlier if u r not under enki's protection u might hurt urself. Others dt did dedicate haven't complain about anything apart from headaches which Is normal.

I tire for ur matter shaaa.... Vibrate raum 40times make sure u roll the r.
Guy dey make research no d too d worry me. If the method u r using doesn't suit u use another. Apply sense in doing things and stop asking too much questions

I've been following this thread and since I'm a fan of meditations and all I just thot I should say:
Mellin, you opened this thread maybe to propagate your belief and 'help others'.
The way you reply people really bites me sometimes. These are new converts if I may call them that, you should treat them like babies, until they can stand on their feet proper. Don't cast them away telling them to go and do research just because that's how you came to the level you are. Act like a big brother and I'm sure these people will always be indebted to you.
This is no tirade, just a piece of my mind nwanne mmadu.

Still following.

Smd!

You're not ready to blog be that!
Electricity? Internet? Seriously

Shey he's a nigerian?
We no get negotiators to talk him out of it o.

Besides someone that wants to die won't even be saying it like this.
