HTC621 - few water drops...

['Reen]

:( I had my phone out under a tarp when it was raining - but water found its way and had a few drops sitting on it. I couldnt use the up, down or the in between enter key. Now the down key is coming back - but not the other two options - and it is having small issues like not always shutting the backlight off, or scrolling when Im not trying to.
I took it all apart twice to make sure there wasn't any water in it - and other than some mild moisture - it seemed okay.
Am I out of luck with this phone getting back to normal?:eek:
Is there anything else I should try?

Take the battery out and, leaving the battery cover off, leave it in the airing-cupboard for a couple of days to SLOWLY dry out.

Rain water should be okay, there are usually too few dissolved minerals in it to crystallise on the board and bridge gaps between tracks but damp and volts don't really play together nicely. :(

Good luck.

In anoher forum people suggested to put the phone in a bowl of rice, being the rice absorbs the moister faster than just evaporating.

Agreed, my phone has been through gallons upon gallons of water, and have never had a problem xDD
