This may be the funniest cellphone debilitating experiences you will ever read….I was on the phone and I was having a very intense emotional conversation…I was crying hard…after the phone call I noticed a little water damage on my screen. I wasn’t too concerned seeing that I have dropped it in the snow once and it already had a little. I fell asleep and woke up to my phone screen was not working but, I can hear me recieving texts, phone calls, and my morning alarms went off. The phone is working but the screen wont light up/show… Please help….

Putting it in an oven works. My phone turned on after I put it for 10 minutes at about 180 degrees. Then again, it melted so the screen is very damaged but still working, the camera lens’ busted and the battery doesn’t fit anymore. But hey, it worked, just make sure it doesn’t melt.

I soaked my phone in alcohol because it wasn’t working anyway so I figured I had nothing to lose. It has alcohol in the screen now but that might dry up later? It’s still drying so I’m still hoping for the best

Last night i my cell fell in the sink (fully submerged) i pulled out the battery and dried it with a cloth. i wasnt home so i couldnt stick it in rice or really do anything. 5 hours after the phone went for a swim i finally put it in rice overnight, then too the blow dryer to it (without battery) and its seems okay. screens a little smudgy, and the trackpad is a little off sometimes but its working okay now. im sure there is still water in there (from the look of the screen) should i risk doing anything else to it?
