[Q] returning to stock/returning to motorola?

[mikeandjaimie]

Okay I fell in the river not to long ago and killed my Telus Motorola Milestone. I went out and bought a new desire cause I had rooted the milestone and cause I had fell in the river... Now I'm thinking maybe I can re-flash it to stock and try to return it for warranty, but I was wondering a couple things..

1. Can it be completely returned to stock? I recently sent in a SE X10a and they only wanted the phone itself, not the backing/battery/sim/microSD.. if this is the case, maybe they cant tell?

2. I heard there was a piece of paper on it somewhere that is supposed to change color if it gets wet/damaged.. where is this, what does it look like Not wet, and after it gets wet..

The phone itself boots and seems to run semi-fine.. but the camera button kinda has Multiple Personality Disorder.. sometimes it's a camera button, sometimes it's volume up or down LOL

Also, does anyone know what would happen if I sent it in and they found out it was splashed? it was never really soaked, and I dried it off as soon as possible (even used canned air and the Rice in a baggy methods) Will they contact me to tell me how much to fix, Just bill me and return it, or just say F* me and send it back?

Kinda like to know if anyone has had this kinda experience

they have ways of knowing the water was in it... and its a little square that is white when dry and pink or red when wet...

if you send it they'll most likely bill you. they don't 'fix' phones

I had an ATT Tilt and when I took it apart I found not just the one by the battery buy a couple more inside the phone as well. Pretty sure most phones would have the same thing. They can be pretty sensitive too. Sometimes really high humidity will change the color.
