Full cup of coffee spilled over switch Sad it's not salvageable is it?

This happened to us too. It did recover, once dried out, intermittent glitches though hope yours is ok.

Thanks for your reply. How long did you give it to dry out before trying it?

When I dropped my phone down the loo, I immediately wiped it down, took it apart as much as possible, wiped down again and then stuck it in a box of dry rice overnight.

Next morning, put it all back together and it worked fine. Just don't try and turn it back on until it has been fully dried out!

A couple of days I think, without turning it on. Left it somewhere gently warm. Good luck.

You could try putting it in a tub of rice. That worked for me with a phone I dropped down the loo.

You can also get dry out bags.

I've just charged it up and it's come back to life! The buttons are a little sticky but so far so good. Am amazed and just keeping fingers crossed it keeps working Smile
