You're a winrar. Most important thing to do is take out the battery first.

that was nokia 3310..classic

3310 is a legend phone, I dropped it many times, even in water before. Still working.

yea the best phone good for call ,sms , self defence or protection , throw dogs ..lol alot more and yea DIVING hahahaha

hAha THROW DOGS..??

anyway,..why nokia now doesnt produce the good build quality like 3310..??

compared to the newest phone such as N96 and 3310..
i feel the quality of 3310 is still the best

yea quality wise 3310 win handsdown....really tahan lasak

3310 is really durable until some big business man stil using it now and i knew some of them buy several until before it discontinue.just in case they said..haha..

It's very suitable for young kids. Durable and long lasting.

if 3310 went in washing machine still can be saved?
is the circuit inside water resistant one?

i was driving this afternoon and rains pour heavily... my hp inside my pant's pocket..

after 1 hour i reached home, the screen getting getting foggy abit... my keypad (1,4,7) is not fuctioning.. i already take out the battery and let it dry...

should i wait 3 days to completely dry and try or should i should send to nokia service centre tomorrow morning? My hp is still under warranty by Sapura/Zitron.

i don't wanna lose my precious nokia... just bought 2 month ago..

OT..isnt this thread was pinned before?

warranty is void by water damage...

so good luck convincing the nokia care centre there...

there is a piece of paper inside the phone which changes colour if it comes in contact with a good amount of liquid, which is how phone shop knows if ure lying about water damage...

looks like someone decided to unpin it?

Happen to me before.. Few years back when I just bought my NK7610.

I suggest you guys to dry it with hair dryer.. Let it blown for 1 hour(min).
With cold air not hot air..

NOTE = Hot air will damage your circuit and LCD!

How about refrigerator? can ah? But I scared the Lcd ll become foggy, Hang near air con may b can ah.

why unpin it?
it will be useful to pin it for people in hurry to find solution to save the wet phone

hmm..maybe this thread is not as active as before...thats why its unpinned...

what a very useful info,should be one of the "moderator" for contributing some useful tips which could help to save some innocent phones.haha ..

hot air wont damage the circuit, but it might damage the LCD...

the circuit board can withstand pretty high temperatures, so if u wanna dry the phone, best is to dismantle and use hairdryer, with the LCD removed...

refrigerator useless...

the condition inside the refrigerator is damp, and water will still be there...

its better to put in hot air as water evaporates faster in hot air, but air con on the other hand shud be OK since the air blown out of the air con have a pretty low humidity levels...

or buy the phone below

Hi peeps! I know this is a very very old thread but I feel this thread is really useful as most of us, intentionally or unintentionally wet our mobile phone. And now with smartphones which are way more vulnerable to humidity/water than the classic nokia handphones, we need this piece of info even more.

Something new on solution for a wet mobile phone:
My friend studying in the States actually introduced some dry-your-phone kit to me once when I dropped my S3 in the toilet (not into the toilet bowl though, phew!), just onto the super wet, almost flooded bathroom floor. But I couldn't find it anywhere in Malaysia and waiting for it to arrive from US is just not practical. Luckily my S3 survived the swim but I keep on wondering if there's such dry-your-phone kit available. Just in case, you never know when your phone decides to take another swim in the water.

Anyway I forgot what is the brand of the kit that my friend introduced to me but these are some of the images that I can find online.






Any sifus in the forum can provide info? I'm interested to test them.
