A real coincidence I know but after just removing the clothes from the washing machine I found my memorystick in one of my trouser pockets lol, not exactly the same but still water damaged electronics .

The thing is now to let it dry, although I can find no way to get it apart to help it dry faster since there are no screws that I can see anywhere on it, so I don't think I will be using it for the next week just to be really sure it is dry properly on the inside.

Hi everyone... I dropped my P990 in water yesterday by mistake... Before I could take the battery out it was already around 10-15 secs... The phone seemed switched off but the flash lite was on... I even opened it and left it to dry... Today afternoon I tried to switch it on, it only showed the SE logo and that's it... Nothing more... I will leave it to dry tommorrow as well and see it works then... Plz pray for my P990...

Memory cards shouldn't be quite so susceptible to moisture damage, my wife dropped a Micro SD card of mine into a glass or water, no idea how long it was in there - could have been a couple of minutes or overnight - but after leaving it to dry for a couple of days everything's fine with it. No data loss or problems, she lives another day!

Oh, sorry, by memorystick I meant my flash drive, hopefully still survives the same though

On holiday in France last year, I was with a bunch of family friends, and on of them had lost their mario kart DS game. We found it the next day at the bottom of the swimming pool lmao. Left it to dry and it worked fine

I've found the best place to dry electronic stuff is on the back of a CRT TV set, there's a warm up-current of very dry air for long periods of time, especially when the kids or Mrs is watching the Eastenders/Corrie Omnibus. I fell in the park pond with my old Phillips C12 Mobi, 3 days with it blu-tacked to the top of the telly and it was dry as a bone, and worked great. Well great as a C12 will work...
