I dropped my phone down the loo!
 
And its now dead:sad:

Currently Ive removed the battery wrapped the phone and battery up ina sock and put it on the radiator.the lights are working and the sound but the screen is just black.Anyone ever dropped their phone in water before and have any tips on fixing it?

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.

You put your hand down the loo to get it? LOL!

I dropped my iPod in the bath and it broke for life :sad: *hugs new iPod nano* :lovedup:

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:

Hey Laura

Unlucky babe! That would be the end of my life! haha :laugh2:

Take the battery out and put them in the oven or the top of the radiator.
It probably still wont work though.

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.
