eek. I had long weekend, and I was half asleep. I stupidly left my cell phone in my pants pocket and proceeded to do laundry. For the record, I have never had cell insurance and never needed it. Not to mention I doubt Verizon has water damage coverage cuz most places don't.
I remembered about 5 minutes into the cycle & ran to the washer. The phone was...yes very wet.
I took the battery out & all of that. Blew out the water with a compressed air can and shook it & put a paper towel around it. I also put it in rice to suck out the water, cuz I hear that works... It's an LG 4500.
As of last night, the white dot near where the battery connects inside that indicates if there was water damage is still brightly white.
My boyfriend did try putting it together for me tonight, but the screen was just completely white (but lit up) & clearly still had moisture in it.
What are the odds it will recover? I realize the batter might be SOL, perhaps in the long-term. But I thought I would ask the wizards of tech, specifically phone tech.
