Put the phone in some warm rice overnight, or for a few days. Don't try and turn it on, and make sure you keep the battery out of it.

Drying the insides with the warm rice (it "sucks" in the moisture from the phone) can get it working again.

Just remember not to try to switch it on for a few days as it can break the circuit.

If you're toilet is clean theres no problem because the water is clean

The plunger = dirty because its used to unblock stuff. You might as well fish it out with the toilet brush :joker:

Once I fell into a paddling pool at the seaside and my phone Mp3 broke... and I thought my phone broke but I left for a week or something. (Was hell, I couldn't contact anyone) but it worked after a week or so.

I got stuck in the pouring rain on our boat, and my phone got drenched, when I took the back off the water poured out!

I took it all apart, put the hair dryer on and just left it on a medium setting for about 15 mins, switched it on and its worked fine ever since :)
