hi guys
my w550i fell in a glass of milk.. i know u mite b thinking how.. but i dunno it fell vertically and so accurately fitted the glass of milk.. i quickly removed it and wiped all the milk..
the mobile to started to work and i thought i had saved it.. but the mobile only worked till the battery lasted. now the battery wont charge.. thier are some things that i need to tell u b4 u help me that is,,,
1. the service center wont take it cuz its liquid damage. the mobi not under warranty or insurance. I hav to fix it myself.
2. I inserted a battery (k600i) in my w550i.. it works but even if the battery is full .. its says its 0 percent. stays on for some time and then switches off.
3. the display works perfetly fine. Only the battery is not charging. i thinkso thier is some probs in the battery cuz the w550i battery is not charging in the k600i battery..
4. i hav disassembled the fone my self. now i need to in the w550i the motherboard of the fone is attached to the screen or lets say.. The bottom of the fone.. the keypad pard is aatached to the top of the fone the screen part by some wires. and it has some clips.. but i dunno those are permanent clis or not .. i need to remove them cuz i hav to clean the display as the milk has dried their..
PLz guys after reading my boring story try to help me.. will post pics asap
** Its the Blue color clip that i want to open.. I am afraid if i open it once it wont fit back and the wires are very comples.. i just need help that if someone experienced can tell me how to open those clips.. i can handle the rest.. Clean the display and buy a new battery .. maybe even clean the charging circuit/connector in the mobiel.. i know that will help.. But help me out to open the clips.. their are 4 of them. their is a blue dot on one of them.

@saq - Looks like that was really close mate
With your story, it looks like the fone was salvaged. If the only thing that worries you now is the charging of the battery . . . I think you can OPT in getting a desktop charger so it can still be charged - 'outside'. Good Luck!

my old sagem myx2 went in the washing machine once... it wouldn't start, i ordered a new battery and then it worked fine. maybe it needs a proper w550 battery...?

Probably the charging circuit/connector that's been damaged. Try taking the phone apart as much as you dare, ensuring there's no moisture left, cleaning anything suspicious up with isopropyl alcohol (e.g. medical swabs) and see if it makes any difference.
I suspect the damage has been done though, best advice I can say is to buy a desktop charger and a spare battery, charge the batt in the desktop charger and use the other one

@saq - After having READ this post from our co-member who knows how to 'skin' a fone and resuscitate damaged ones . . . my suggestion was RIGHT after all
Unless, you will be encountering some problems if you have finally opened your fone . . . Good Luck!

ei no wories... now your phone is enriched with vitamins and amino acids... kidding! back then when CDMA phones are popular.. whenever these things happen... we just disassemble the phone and let it dry... after that.. its sol gud..
but i really dunno if this will also happen with these kinda phones.

I'm no expert I'm afraid, but give the best advice I can!
Most phones are the same, indeed electrical items when it comes to liquid damage. It's usually irreversible, but if you're quick in drying it out properly you can sometimes save it from damage.

i think the phone, after fixing the charging problem, can withstand falls and smashes... because it immersed itself in calcium...

Calcium = strong bones
I don't think that celfone frames have - bones . . . .
