Erm.. I doubt it, but you could let it dry out and it may work again. I know somebody whos phone came back to life after being "drpped" in a bacardi and coke.

I feel your pain.. I'd be gutted!

Put it in a bowl of rice. (Dry). It dries it out. Don't ask me how, but it does!

Dry it slowly. Don't use a hairdryer or anything, that pushes the water deeper intot he phone.

I heard putting a wet phone in a box of rice is really good for drying it out.

i dropped my phone in water once and left it to dry and it worked.. but then it got all mucked up and all the buttons would take you to the wrong thing. it was so annoying.

:eek: I hope it comes back to life.

Someone told me to do that after my phone fell into a toilet but I never got to try it, I did wrap it in a towel and leave it on a radiator. It worked the next day but sometimes the buttons would do nothing until I took the battery out and put it back in.

Yeah it might just work now but it will die if you dont switch it off and dry it out properly.

Take the battery out and leave it a few days in the airing cupboard or in rice etc.

Happened to my daughter, she dropped it in the bath, put it in the airing cupboard overnight, switched it on the next day and it worked, I told her to switch it off and leave it to dry out properly. She didnt listen and it died totally two days later.

Oh and the really good thing is water ingress isnt covered by warrantee and some insurances dont cover it either. So now her shiny new I-phone 4 is a dead shiny new I-phone

Make sure you take the battery out. that way there is no power to any circuitry, sometimes alrms etc still have power when the phones off.
