**jfkjfk** · 12th April 2005

Hi, in water a few seconds and dried out. Now when ou put it on the radiator for 30 mins it works for about 1 hour, then the top left button seems to stick as goes to options then i have to exit and it does it again.

Before the raditor hardly any buttons worked, any help please?

Take it to a reputable fone shop and they will bath it in an ultrasonic bath.

Thats the only way to repair these properly m8.

Not worth the hassle m8,,, it is better to get water damage sorted properly,,, rather than bodging it up.

Also note that the fone MAY not work after being put into an ultrasonic bath. As the water may be shorting certain pins,,, once removed there is nothing there to conduct. This depends on how long the fone has been water damaged though.
