Why didn't you let your phone dry out in rice first?

No. 1 rule of wet phone club...


...is you don't talk about wet phone club?

Just reading that book actually.

I don't think rice will get me out of this one. Phone works fine except speakers so guessing they've shirted out.

Worth a shot I suppose...

What's worse is I was about to get it replaced under warranty, still, could done it to a brand new phone which I suppose is worse.

Just into a container with rice all under over it etc, covered, seal container, leave phone in hot water cupboard overnight. If it's going to fix it, it will by the morning. If not, gg.

There are indication marks on the phone when it has been wet, they'll say no.

Ok ok I did that, I know there'll be no warranty now, it's just a little ironic. Works as crap as it did before I dropped it in water.  ie fixed. Yay?

Yep good old rice trick.

Only issue is pcb will still slowly oxidize over time so shit might suddenly stop worjibg.

Or it might go on working for ages..  Bit like roulette.

No I think he means the Russian kind.

Yes well, I don't mind, they're not built to last long anyway. Just need to find my own way to fix the top button and then I'm happy.

Why don't you just claim insurance because it got destroyed in the Auckland earthquake?

Sigh, looking for a place to live sucks camel dick.

I don't think I want to forever alone it, I want to live with someone I trust and who wont force me to defend my lifestyle choices - loving the shit out of video games and spending most of my time on my PC.

I don't think I could do it cold turkey after living with my GF for 4 years. I'd probably fall into a pit of depression if I didn't have some sort of human interaction to begin with.
