Did you let it dry out either in in a bag with some rice or with desiccant? Works quite well.
Otherwise, I have put the oven on low and put it in there (on something) or in a dehydrator. Just be sure to remove the battery first.
If there's any moisture still in it, it likely is shorting it out.
Are the water stickers red? You could always warranty it if not.

Just thought i would share a really hopefull story... my sister had a samsung jack windows mobile phone... she went swimming for 10 min before she realized it was in her pocket... hadnt taken it apart or turned it off or anything... got home and everything minus two keyboard buttons was functional... you could see water sloshing back and forth in the screen and it was fine... finally put it in rice and it dried out and still worked fine... another friend uses it now.... haha... there is still hope.. haha

i heard that puting phone in brass helps to remove water/moisture. give it a try.
Power it off and put it in a bag of rice. Wait a few days and power it back on.
There's a very slim chance that the short circuit damage down by the water isn't permanent.

Thanks guys i will give it a try

Even better than rice a air tight box with dehumidifier box inside (the plastic boxes they sell in the hardware stores, the ones with the granules absorbing the moisture) . Put all bits out and leave it for day or two.
Do not dry with hair drier!! Or leave in the sun - might do more harm than good.

Thanks i will go to hardware shop and ask for those by the way i am using my phone and screen moisture is getting off day by day but camera and vibrators are not working so i am waiting for moisture to get off so if camera and vibrator works fine otherwise i can go to service centre and ask them for the warranty bcz if i go now they will say warranty is void bcz of water..
Sent from my LG-P970 using Tapatalk
Indeed waranty is void by water damage and there is always ways to find out if that's the case for a technician who is not half asleep.
Luckily though many times they only have a quick look and write the phone off and give you w new one as long as there are no visible damage on the outside.

Completely dry it first before powering it on or use it. Short circuit will destroy that phone.

I went to service centre guy was very kind he covered motherboard under warranty, but told me to pay for display bcz water cannot be cleaned from it, so he cannot cover it under warranty.
Sent from my LG-P970 using Tapatalk
Well it is something at least. How much did the display change cost if its not a secret?
That's the only reason I was considering the Motorola Defy.
Oh well at least our OB has nice display

Well they are costing me 1700 rupees thats is something near 35.6$ for display.

Hello all.
I have a Cricket Kyocera Zio M600 phone and it fell into water today, I immediately took it out, wiped it down and did the stupid thing that you're NOT supposed to do after a phone gets wet and turned it back on and it was working fine for about 4 hours. My buttons started acting up on me so I turned the phone off however, when I turn it back on it automatically goes to a black screen and says "FOTA update modem...0............................100%" and flashes on and off with that same message. Is the phone broke or is there something I can do to fix it?
I recommend running the leaked cricket Zio 2.2.1 windows updater.

yes, but before doing that pull the battery and let the phone dry out for 48 hours, from what you described it seems like the water inside of it may be shorting out the buttons and is causing it to go into Modem download mode.
Yeah, definitely let that thing dry... get a Ziploc bag and put your phone in there with enough rice so that the phone is buried in the rice. It will draw most of the moisture out of the phone within about a day.

I recommend using silica crystals, it's used as the good kinds of kitty litter (think PetCo), and the same exact sold at high-end phone stores for exactly this kind of thing, albiet for 5x more.

The vivid is just too legit to quit. My brother threw his in a friend's pool in a drunken rage (women can be a trip) a few weeks back and it ended up sitting in there overnight. Fast forward to today and he decides to see if it works...totally does lol

Amazing!
I went to go see if my vivids screen could be repaired. The guy was telling me probably not because htc hard glues almost the entire phone together so maybe that's why it didn't get wet but for that long of a period I'd be extremely happy

Mine saw the inside of a glass of iced tea. It wad dead for 3 days, but I dried it in rice and it came back to life. All that's left is a small water stain on the screen at the bottom.

The screens CAN be replaced, but it's slow steady work requiring a few special (but cheap) tools.

So I missplaced my ace, and found it in a small pool of water ringing... First thing, got the battery out, wiped it, unscrew it, luckly no waterinside, just on the charging port, wiped the water, left it for a day, then tried it, every thing working, but not charging, the charger port was opened so water entered the port, now i tried to wipe the port with parfume and it charges, but some times doesn't charge, should i wipe with more parfume? or wait afther the holidays to find a working service gsm? Can parfume harm it? I used it for the alcohool to clean it...
I'm waiting for your answers, thank you who ever want's to help.
Now it works fine, it charges every time i plug it it, is the problem solved, or should i go with it at the gsm services?
It takes some time for water to evaporate completly. It is very likely that your problem is already solved
put in rice ... it sucks the moisture

If u found it in the woods wet then chances are it's fried already since it was wet for along time and I'm sure more than water went in damaging the circuits.
