Thanks.....
Raheel.

Ok,
I just started the phone again, it is now starting well, the Signal light is also blinking and the keyboard sensor is also working.

but the screen is still WHITE.

It is giving me white screen still. please help me with this...i have read other posts people say that the white screen appears when the cable is damaged ,but my cable is not damaged at all, it was all working fine untill i dipped it into the water.

one more observation, when i keep the phone on for about 2 minutes, some part of the screen becomes Black , while the rest is white.

It may have been fine before the water bowl incident, but it does not take much to upset the connection between D/Pad and screen.

Just a little moisture on the d/pad or on the contacts of the d/pad connector is enough to create a poor connection and that dampness can also start oxidisation of contacts all over the place.

You might be lucky in that if you leave it lying around for long enough in a dry atmosphere , one day it might start working ok. Otherwise it will need dismantling and cleaning of the d/pad board and disconnection, cleaning and reconnection of the connector.

Well, I can give you some advise. Just Try returning the Hermes to Stock Firmware, or Windows Mobile 6. If that doesn't work, i recommend just buying a used unlocked Hermes off ebay. You can get one for no more than $200
