Nokia?

Fanfan

Hi All

I recently bought a Nokia 6230i but the other night it fell into the bath. I managed to get the phone out straight away and tried to dry it with a hairdryer but when i tried to turn phone back on it wont work. My sim card is ok as im currently using it now in a different phone. Its been four days since it happend and the phone still wont turn on......Has this happend anyone before? Just wondering if any has any recommendations of what i should do or on how I can fix it or even just were to get it fixed.

Thanks alot

leave it in the hot press for about a week but not directly on the boiler. then go out and buy a new one

Why would i bother leaving it in the hot dress if im going to have to buy a new one?

i wasn't being serious. the chances of it working again are pretty much zero after getting that much water in it

but if you can do without a phone for a week or two there's no harm putting it in the hot press. might work

Would you reckon i could even get it fixed anywere?

Sam Vimes

it might be possible but it'll cost a lot of money and will almost certainly not work. unless someone offers to do it on the cheap its best to just get a new one

I've heard storys of phones coming back to life a few weeks later .. they'll work as new for a few weeks and then fall over and die again.

Buy a new one as Vimes says - see if you can trade the old one in (don't tell them it fell in the bath!)
