    Hey guys. Please give advice. My Nokia E5 fell into the sink whilst i was filling the kettle.
    I immediately dried it off with a towel and took out the battery.
    It turned back on but the keypad wouldn't work. Over the last couple of days i have left it on the radiator and also used a blowdryer on low settings.
    The keypad has worked a couple of times. Then after a while stops working????
    NO problems with anything else, screen, battery etc...
    Using the rice absorption method at the mo!

    WHAT CAN I DO NEXT TO SAVE IT???:confused:

    Just for future reference, you're not supposed to try and turn electronics on until it's spent a couple of days in a hot press, or in a bag of rice or something. Remove the battery asap, dry it off with a towel as much as possible. Take it apart as much as possible and leave in a hot press.

    Take the covers off and give it a couple of days in the hot-press.
