Hi All,

My girlfriend accidentally spill some water into her bag and inside her bag is the K750i. After that, I immediately took our hair dryer to dry the phone.

The phone works normally but when I insert the memory card into the phone slot, the white screen will just keep blinking.

Any ideas?

Sounds like there may be some damage/corrosion to the memory card reader pins, I suspect it will do this with any memory card, you can try taking the phone apart and spraying the contacts with WD-40 or contact cleaner, but try not to get any on the microphone, as this could break it.

visit a service asap and ask for a "sonic bath" for your fone, that might also help, hope its still not too late

I've faced this problem once with a friend's k750. I thought that flashing the phone would solve it, but the problem stayed. I tried my memory stick and it used to blink with it too.

They most likely wouldnt fix it under warranty anyway as its water damage, they will be able to tell as theres a colour changing sensor stuck inside the phone, it will turn red if its got wet & it most likely has in this case.

Unfortunately, once a phone got wet, the corrosion will keep going on over time.
