Miss Vamps phone has been for a swim in the river :( long story... :-/ :-/
I have striped it down as far as I can, do they dry out ok or is it shot? It's a Samsung.

So not corrosive salt then :)
Take all the covers off and strip phone as far as possible down to the mother board and pop it in the airing cupboard. Leave it there over night, and hopefully should be ok :y

Tesco or Asda mate.
Put some string or wool around Elf's foot

H had similar, binned the battery, rinsed phone off under the tap, good shake off to get the drips out and left it in the airing cupboard to dry fully expecting a fubar phone, new battery and it was fine. Still going now a year later. Nokia though. :-/
-
As long as it has not been switched when wet, once dried fully, it should be ok. If it was on when it went in then I think a call to the insuracne is in order :(

Usually water kills it :-?

Don't think it is worth doing that ::) my excess would be more that the phone is worth, she is only 10 so just a cheepish one.... :y
-
Give it a couple of days in bits in the airing cupboard and try it.
May even be worth putting it in a bag of silica gel to draw the moisture out.

my lad fell off his bike into a river and gave my old nokia a dunking,dried it out in the airing cupboard and all was well,even the battery was ok

Well I got chucked in teh water once with a PDA in my pocket, thankfully turned off at the time. Stripped off all the battery, etc and put it on top of some radio battery charges for 48 hours. Reassembled and it still works 5 years on :y
-
my noika phone fell from my shirt pocket a lovely muddy trench, took back off, got the worse of the mud off and stood it up in living room, still working 12 months on, room temp should be fine, not point overheating it and frying its circuits.

A good result, all seems to be working fine... :y :y
A lucky Miss Vamps...... :D :D :D :D

Good news. Should this happen to anyone else, do as said & strip down as far as poss then put in in a bag of rice for 24 hrs, (uncooked, not the left over egg fried from the chinky!!). As the Cpn said this draws moisture out & you're more likely to have rice in the cupboard than silica stuff, although in John's case nothing would surprise me!
Pot noodles tend to kill 'em though. On a night out in my then ERF many years ago the phone rang & vibrated itself off the dash straight into my bombay bad boy.
Pot noodle:- one,
Nokia :- nil. ::)
