Hi guys, newbie here, but, I'm having problems with my P900. Spilt coke on it, and it started beeping, so I took the battery out to turn it off. Now when I try to turn on the phone, it vibrates for a split second, then I get a blank, black screen. What can I do about this??? Thanks in advance.

So do you know if theres any way to fix it? Or is it basically a paper weight now?

ive got water damage to phones in the past, and water and small electrical devices dont tend to mix.
at least you have a nice paper weight now....

I suggest using 'denatured/ethyl alcohol'. It evaporates faster than water and cleans a lot better. Hospitals and clinics use it to disinfect almost everything that they use, so you can get it at a drug store or pharmacist.

Ok here's what you do, dampen some tissue with water, clean off the Soda with it, so it's not sticky. Wrap it up in more tissue... and place in a drawer for a few days....
... The go to the shops and buy a new phone
