MDA(usa) unable to charge battery-I am using original charger

[roosterjen]

MDA got dropped (by a friend trying to be funny) about 18inches onto tile floor and into a small puddle. Caused small water spash into phone. Phone didn't work for 18hrs then T-Mobile store plugged in and it worked. Within 5 days the battery was fully dead 20 minutes after a supposedly full charge. I believe that the phone has not been charging the battery at all. --no lite comes on at all. At first a red light would come on but now nothing (same, new, original charger)I am willing to open phone to look for loose connection or do whatever else it takes. --just need to know how to proceed. Any help other than telling me to charge with original charger will be appreciated. I have read many threads here and none seem to mention this exact issue:(

I have read in this forums a way to jump start the battery by using a 9v battery. Just do a search and hopefully it helps you.

I am looking for someone who has taken apart the MDA to address this issue. I have a new battery, and charger and I think the phone has a loose connection, but I am a bit nervous to take apart the phone--I'm not as experienced as all the peeps on this forum

I have the Service Manual I can send it to you if interested.

I'm very interested in how to do this also since my wife has done almost the exact same thing to here MDA and now it won't charge. She also broke the button on top to power on/off the phone. Is there a replacement part I can purchase for this?
