btw...

if u want to imerse it in water/alcohol or dry it in a microwave oven..

remember to take out the LCD screen...

the screen will be dead if water enters it

same goes to heat

but it should be able to stand the heat of a hairdryer though...hehe...

When it happened, my keypad cannot be used. only the on/off button works.I remove the battery for 24 hours, and it's back to normal,hehe..now my phone is immune to the water

FYI on the E398,the num pad/menu key/call key are on a diff circuit board than the off/red key...

so if the num pad/green/menu key short at least u can turn on ur phone lol...

the off kley is also important coz the off key is one of the keys to get the phone into bootloader mode...

in other words,the place where u wanna go if u wanna flash ur phone... lol...

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?

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...
