The day the music died. Or got washed.

Ouch!

You may be able to save it by putting it in a plastic baggie with one or two of those small desiccant bags.

Let it dry out. I ahve heard of even placing it in the oven at the lowest temp. Do not turn it on for a few days. Make sure it is dry. You might get lucky. Someone with more experience should be able to help more… (you are not the first;)

I had the same thing happen to me last year, only it was my cell phone. I have a new one now, but I really miss the old one. I feel your pain.

Ha ha, this reminds me of one of my hoodie mishaps. I got home from work one day and had my phone inside the front pocket, the right side of this pocket was ripped, so nothing ever stayed in there. Stood up from using the restroom bent down to flush and with perfect timing my cell phone dropped out and into the toilet. Considering to reach down and grabbed it, I thought, Nah, there no way it will flush that phone…

1 second later I was proved wrong…

-- The trouble with doing something right the first time is that nobody appreciates how difficult it was.

flushin the phone bwahahaha!!!!! I dropped one of the straps of my overalls in the toilet once. right around lunch. really dont advise doing that either.

LOML did that to my phone about a year ago. I wish I had replaced it with a basic phone with no contract. We want OUT of AT&T… Their cell coverage by the house is pretty spotty.

Try running over your cell with a 27 horse zero turn mower!!!! Really doesn’t do it any good at all.

I am still using a cell phone that I dropped in the swimming pool last summer. It was only underwater for about 1 minute. I let it dry for a few hours and it worked as usual.

One option I’ve recently found, is if you can find two of the same models that are “broken” on (choose your favorite auction site or seller listing site) and cannibalize them into one working model. I did that recently with one of the first video generation Ipods when my wife’s hard drive failed on hers. Some people just aren’t handy enough to take the time and replace a couple dollar part so they pop them on there dirt cheap. Good luck, I know what it’s like when your MP3 player dies!

let it dry out it should be ok

The same happened to me. After laying on a shelve for a week, I put it on the charger, and low and behold, it works again. Now I have two because I immediately bought another one …

Give it a try, it just may work.

Puy it in a bag of rice. The rice pulls the moisture out slowly.

-- Okcut- When you come to the fork in the road--take it.

Put it in a bag of uncooked rice in the refrigerator. They both take out moisture slowly.

The battery definitely would have fried, but I’m with everyone else—you should try and dry it out and see if it still works before writing it off.

Funny (but sad) story nonetheless!
