wasn't expecting to revive a dead phone - just water marks on pcbs so as they look nice when opening phone - and also the screen...aren't you meant to wipe it off with water afterwards or something though?

Oh no, don't do that or you'll undo all your good work! As the swabs are alcohol based, they evaporate, any moisture left by these swabs will evaorate within seconds. Water doesn't, which is why any water-based cleaning stuff is a definate no no (along with anything too abrasive, of course!
)

@sammy - cheers dude before i go and do that and then muck it up! - i was thinking about the stuff you use to soak inkjet printer cartridges in i think...your meant to wipe it afterwards with damp lint free cloth or something i think. thanks alot for the info. anyway - might be useful in future!

I dropped mine in my dogs water bowl (completely submerged) try this..
take out the memory card, battery and sim card. Wrap it in a cotton hankerchief/sock etc and put on top of the radiator. Leave it overnight. Mine's perfectly fine.
Good luck.
Ps don't try messing with the insides. The components are coated in a slightly waterproof substance. Should be ok.

The settings should be on the sim, whenever I swap my O2 sim between phones the text settings go with it.

i take it the red-dye stuff is to let a service centre know that the phone has been submerdged? - Is this what the white square part ontop of the k750i(etc) series battery is?!?!? - if you just open the phone up, it will create drying time alot faster than slower...remember longer time to dry out is better - and me + sammy boy were talking about cleaning phone pcbs and marks off...which could be need done, because any water that got inside the phone will almost certainly make a mark on the screen.

OK PHONE WORKS NOW thanks for all the help jus put the battery in it last night and tried it and it works fine, the screen has a line of lightness on it from where the water damaged it but the phone's back to normal,
thanks
also to save creating a new thread does anyone know what to do when the joystick is not as responsive and you have to press hard for it to move the icon on screen, maybe needs a clean?

turn your phone off.. then get a dyson hoover nozzle on the joystick, ear speaker and speaker on the back, then rotate the joystick in a circular motion about 20-30 times.
See how that works.
