Thread: My Samsung SGH-D980 got wet this morning?

Please people help me!. This is a touch phone.I bought this phone for $480. And it drop directly on the screen on the road while it was raining. The screen has many scratches on it. But this morning later i turned it on and it worked fine. But then i turned it off and took out the battery, etc. So when i reach home it opens and vibrates the screen lights up but you dont see any picture. Now im living it in a cup of rice so it can absorb any water. Please tell me what to do..im crying, i love this phone! Dont tell me it wont work again.

ps. its raining and it cold so theres no sun and i dont have a vacuum. Huge points. !!!

it now shows the screen but when i touch the screen it doesnt do anything

You should try Silica Gel Packets to dry out your phone. There was a good article on associatedcontent.com that explains how to dry a wet cell phone, iPods, or any electronics. You need to take the battery out of your phone and place your cell phone and battery in a zip lock bag with Silica Gel Packets. Silica Gel will remove all the moisture from the phone and its components, something air drying will not do!

I did this after my husband's phone went through the wash and it worked like a charm.

Just Google "Silica Gel Packets" and you will find several companies selling these products. There is also a web site called: http://www.SilicaGelPackets.com that has them.
