AHHHHH!!! I AM AN IDIOT!!! I left my new cell phone in my pockets, and it was in the wash for about a minute before I took it out! Does anyone know what to do? It won't turn on, and it vibrates when I put the battery in!! Please, does anyone know what to do? A bad part is I haven't told my parents yet....

Thank you! That's what someone on TPR said also. I'll try that, but I already tried to put the battery in, but I don't think I'll put it in untill a few days just to be safe...I am such an idiot...

Do you think maybe this thing just broke. most the cell phone can't be work upon Check with your parents and see if they put Insurance from your service provider? also talk with there manger to see if there any warrenty. But if the unit look water -logged that another story.
good luck Darrel

^ Well, I don't think my parents payed for insurance because they told me to keep my old cell phone in a safe place in case anything happens to my new one. Also, I read the manual, and it said if the phone is exposed to dampness or it has had improper care, the warranty will not cover it. So, Unless it works again, I think I will be going back to my old phone... This morning I tried to turn on my phone...the same thing happened, and I'm pretty sure its dry by now. I think I'm going to blow dry it in a few minutes...

Lol, now I have my phone in my room with a blow dryer running on it. I'm gonna check it in about 20 minutes. It should be dry if it is still wet on the inside by then.
My phone worked yesterday afternoon for a few seconds! I forgot to say that, but it did. It turned on, and it was loading up, then it turned off...sigh...I also had a dream it worked last night! You can really tell how much this is on my mind!

Do you have a Voltage ohm meter? If so, check volts on the battery 8.0-10.0 volts is operational volts. If you can't find voltage try to recharge with charger. Radio Shack will test your battery if you don't have a VOM. Please let me know what you find and i can walk you thru other testing you can perform.

Well, I told my parents about it today, and my dad said he wishes he would have told me earlier because he said he could have saved it. He said if my new one doesn't work soon, I'm going to switch to my old one...*sigh*
Thanks for the help Darrel, but the battery works because the screen turned all blue and the phone vibrated and a few random lights came on.
