So I drank puregrain for the first time the other night (everclear, I think is what it's called) and after about 4 shots let's just say I was smashed.
went to the bathroom playing around on my phone and dropped it in the toilet. I immediately grabbed it and ripped the back off and battery out as fast as I could, thought being as drunk as I was it did take about 10 seconds. the phone was still on when the battery came out though, screen and all.
I then took it home that night and set it on a box fan with the fan pointing straight up and let it dry. I plugged it in the next day and it booted right up, though there was clearly condensation under the screen. It worked for about 2 hours, I went back to sleep for about 20 minutes, woke up and the red LED light was on and flashing. I did a battery pull and since then the phone has not shown any signs of life whatsoever.
So each day I've tried different drying methods (rice, fan, letting it sit in the sunlight through a window) and the only result so far is that when I plug it into the charger now the little white light is coming on indicating it is charging. this light did not come on until the 3rd day of trying to dry it out.
ALL the condensation under the screen is gone, it dried up fairly quickly but I am curious did I fry my phone? I remember dropping a blackberry in the pool a few years ago and it did something similar, but worked 6 months later when I randomly checked it. none of the drying methods worked on it either, but it worked perfectly later in the year when I tried it.
anyway, apparently droids are out of stock and asurion is not replacing droids with droids anymore. even if I could get an X as a replacement I much prefer my droid and am curious if anyone has any ideas? can I take it into a store if I can find one with droids in stock and do my insurance through the store? is there anything else I can try to get it to work or is it fried?
