6670 having taken a nice long bath

    My antique 6670 engineers model (had it a good three months before it was released, don't ask) has just taken a nice long 40c bath. Went in on, came out off. I've dissasembled it totally, dried the surface water off it and not attempted to turn it on, and the SIM still works fine - in my even more archaic Sagem.

    Is there any chance of getting it dried out to a stage of getting my phone book/SMS archive off the internal mem card? Even if it comes up with the GSM unit, camera, etc totally dead I don't really care. Hairdrying likely to help?

    Hair drying might work but not hot. Maybe wrap in a towel if you can and put it somewhere dry and warm, hotpress perhaps.

    Don't dry it with a hair dryer! You should put it in the hot press or near, but not on, a radiator if you have them on at this time of year.
    This slowly dries out the phone which is what you want.

    Leave it for as many days as you can. I'd say it could take maybe 2 or 3 days to dry out thoroughly.
