Diamond flooded:(

---

Was geting out of the car today, and dropped the phone in to the water.

There is mist under the screen . And now touch screen not working.

Please help, is there any cure for this?

First, be very greatfull you still have a semi-working device!

Second, install MS Voice Command - this should give you some functionality

Third, if you search on the forums for the service manual and and get one of these.

I'm told its a very tricky job but as its a touch phone and you have lost your touch, its got to be worth a try!

usually, when electronic devices get wet, you should immediately remove the battery and let it totally dry before turning it on.

And then send it for repair or diagnostics to make sure it's still functioning. At this point, I think your best bet is to send it for repairs.

Good luck, hope it's still repairable.

turn it off and leave it somewhere warm for a day or two.
then turn it back on.
if it is still not working right you need it repaired.

Take the battery out, and then pack your diamond tight, submerged, in a bowl of uncooked rice.

Trust me I've seen this work miracles before. The rice draws out all the moisture, it's amazing. Then cross your fingers and hope you got that battery out in time...

You'll need to leave it in the rice for at least 24 hours.

Good luck

p.s. Put the battery in the rice also.

Before you do this use a hairdryer ( worked for me on my s710)

You can cause problems when you cut corners like that... Static electricity is one.

Ok, so far everithing in working (GPS,camera,g-sen,phone,), and the touch screen works again, but the bloody screen... lots of watermarks on it.

I wouldn't worry about that, that's good so far. A mate of mine dropped his i-mate in a pool and he brought it back to life (with the rice trick) and his screen had those watermarks for a week. In fact it looked really cool, the background had this awesome colour to it, and the LCD had this strange depth to it (no pun intended) it was quite funny really, he was upset it went back to normal in one week!

this is probably the same "stuff" you would get on a window. I suspect that you may need to open it up and clear this away from the underside of the screen. Guess you could try some pressurised air BUT this may be too strong for a delicate phone.....
