Hermes and water :(

---

Hey guys , i need some help here..
I dropped my Jasjam in the water , and now i've got a lot of problems :

1 - My Keyboard backlight sensor ain't working anymore , the keyboard is lit all time , this is really annoying and eating my battery , a fix , software , anything ?

2 - The Keyboard keys r going crazy , ex. when i press v it writes dv , when i press e it writes eg , when i press "space" it writes "c " , this is very annoying too coz i can't use it to write and i hate touch writing.

Both r hardware probs , i know , but maybe there is a software fix or something for the first prob.
Is there a way around prob 2 without opening the phone coz i can't do that , is there a way i can dry the water beneath the keys or something

BTW : i've tried hardreset , different roms , keyboard layout , etc. nothing worked.

Help Plzzzzz

I hope, you took the battery out as soon as it was possible...
Take it out again, and let it dry for a couple of days. It's still wet inside.
You might also use a hairdryer, but carefully, don't fry it!

If this doesn't help, you'll have to go to a store equipped with an ultrasonic cleaner.

Sorry mate but you'll really want to open that phone, especially the plastic cover.

You just need to find a torx screw driver with sizes between 1-5 [I forgot the specific ones you'll need] and a tiny frearson screw driver [that the + shaped hole].

Considering the age of the TyTN, it's probably no longer under warranty anyway.


Air drying without opening it can take months, seriously

Thanks all ,

Sadly , i didn't remove the battery at all.
I don't know if it's still wet , i mean the phone is working fine just the keyboard light and crazy keys problem.
Sadly too , i can't seem to find this screwdriver here in Egypt
And yes of course , the warranty is no more.
I may try the hairdryer , hope it works...
BTW : what plastic cover do u mean ??

Again thnx 4 help guys ...

Ive fixed a few "wet" phones (even my own old tytn 1 that fell into a river) by turning it of as soon as possible, take everything apart(stylus, battery,sd-card etc) shake as until all visible water is gone and put it all into a bowl of rice. that has fixed 2 phones, the other 4(inluding my tytn 1) i had to disassamble totally(unscrew,take apart housing,disconnecting flatcables and so on) and then put all parts into a kitchentowel and then onto a plate and into my kitchenown on about 60 degrees celsius for few hours - assemble and voila =) truth be told, it dosnt always work but i just might.

good luck

remove your battery ASAP
Electric + water = corrosion

when this happened to me with mp3 player, I put it in the car for 3 days.
when parking in the outside, The car gets to 50-60 degree inside (Even more)
if your phone is in the car, it will dry, no damage will happen to it.
