Samsung phones
« on: 13 September 2010, 22:12:29 »
My daughter has a phone like this ......



she's on holiday so I thought I'd have a quick at it after she got it wet.  :-?  :-?
I've failed at the first hurdle  :-? ........... how do you turn the bugger on?  :-[  ;D  ;D
I think I do know ...... I've had it on charge for 20 mins but I reckon the phone is now completely fubar'd.
It did partially start up for her last week but now does nowt.

My Samsung turns on & off by pressing & holding the right hand phone symbol (with the minus sign inside a circle underneath the phone symbol)HTH :y

Yours just has the minus sign under the phone symbol :y

Have you tried taking the battery out and leaving it in the airing cupboard for 48 hours before replacing the battery ??  Seems to work a surprising number of times !!  :)

Thanks Nige, but it's been battery-less for a fortnight or so now in the airing cupboard. It would appear it's now completely dead.  :'(

I'm afraid I think you're right. She removed the battery ASAP after it got wet. She only splashed it too, & it appears it was enough to kill it. The irony was, that when at Glasonbury, she heard a phone ringing in the toilets, it was actually down a pan - still ringing!!  :o  ;)

Andy, you said you only charged it for 20 min,it could do with some power going through it for longer.Also the battery terminals may be dirty.just a thought :y
