Darn me, Washed Cell phone

Glad you got your phone working, if you ever have to do what I post make sure it is an AT&T go phone.

Yes, I have an AT&T phone.

Have a question for anyone. Can I download all my contacts from my phone to my computer?

Put your cell phone in a pillow case, go out on the front yard, swing it over your head and scream like a chicken.  Don't know if it will fix it, but the neighbors will be amused, and you will be paying homage to Dick VanDyke.

  Dang, I followed instructions right up the chicken part.

Another trick you can use (IDK if it's been mentioned) is take the battery out and put everything in a Bag of rice.  We've done this several times and it works.

Glad to know the oven works too!

Welp, it worked at first. I even made a call. However on the second attempt it didn't. So it's back in the oven. LOL

Okay, got it working again and just for good measure I put it in some rice my mom gave me. (Crosses Fingers)

I know someone who dropped their blackberry into muddy water (like saturated with mud  ) and it worked later. (Don't know what he did to get it to work.)

Remove the battery and put it on a cookie sheet in your oven on the absolute lowest setting for four hours.

better yet the microwave jk dont do that.

lol  You actually went with the oven option and it worked?  I thought the suggestion was just a joke.  Careful you don't melt anything.

  What did I have to lose. I turned it down to 170 degrees. Last night I set in a bag of rice. It seems to working now.

Bag O Rice does the trick

A few years back, mine (Alltell) went thru a complete cycle in the washing machine one time.  Put it in the car with the windows rolled up w/o the battery for a day, and it mostly worked fine after that.

Rice = Wunder-drying agent.  I've used it for everything from soaked electronics to a damp corner of the room. (from a roof leak)  Something with the molecular compounds in it make it suck up ALL the moisture around it, with the quickness.

If you come down here the first thing you will notice in the restaurants is that the salt shaker is comprised of 3/4 salt, 1/4 rice.  It is so humid here that it is the only way to keep the salt from getting all gummed up in the shakers.
