hello
my lil brother accidently put my p900 in the washing machine and was there for like 30 minutes.
I unscrewed it and dried the inside and now there are some vapour marks in the lcd. It does turn on but the buttons arent working. Only the ON-OFF buttona and the scrolling button works and thats it!!
Can somebody help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Switch off, remove everything you can (battery, SIM, memcard), let dry thoroughly, pray, test, sell while works

i think the first thing you should do is slap your lil bro!

I'm sure you can get hold of a replacement screen, i've seen posts here about fitting new screens, wouldn't trust myself to do it though.
good luck.

Well it will die over time due to the corrosion that still takes place.

DON"T USE IT JUST YET!!!

Leave it to dry a little more. If you can, take it to anyone that can safely open it up and clean it a bit on the inside.

Again, do not be tempted to use it until you're perfectly sure it's dry, and then give it another overnight. You do not want to short circuit anything here.

As for the water and condensation in the screen, mine dried and disappeared in a couple of days after it was dry on the inside.

Oh, and pray!!

Yeah, dropped my old P900 in the bath (don't ask!). Take out the duo card and the battery and dry it out with a hair dryer. Make sure you blow into the duo card slot, that should do the trick. Did mine for about 10minutes and it's been working fine for the last 5 months.
