It needs to sit in that rice for a good few days I believe.

agree rice it for a few days, a friend did this recently and she was very dubious, I think she did four days in rice.

I dropped mine in clean loo - popped it in rice and stuck it in airing cupboard - took about 36 hours and was fine .... Ds was fascinated about the rice turning blue from the blue loo cleaning stuff !!

Mine was fine after going down the loo too. In fact the rice did the most damage; a grain got into the hole where the headphones go and it took me ages to get it out.

I dropped mine in coffee. I left it in a bag of rice in the airing cupboard (removed SIM first) for five days and it's still working fine 8 m on

It's in a sealed box of rice on the radiator, fingers crossed it works, have decided wine might be safer than tea tonight Grin
