Thread Name: BS: Drying a Cell phone
Subject: RE: BS: Drying a Cell phone
My son Tristan just dearly loves his cell phone. Last year at the lake we were able to coax him into the water past his knees. He was finally relaxing a bit after 20 miutes and having a pretty good time when it dawned on Karen that he probably had his cell phone in his pocket........and indeed he did.

Of course it wouldn't work at all and he was just completely distraught. Trying to explain that it was now junk was difficult enough but when the "Rain Man" syndrome kicks in things get really bad. A new one would not do, it had to be that one!!! So efforts were made to dry it out and after about 24 hours of distress, the damn thing turned on! Another 12 hours and it was almost functional AND 24 hours later it worked just fine!

Had this been my phone and it had been simply out on a humid day, it would have been fragged. Somehow there is a special law of nature which takes care of special people sometimes and Tris was so happy to have HIS phone back that even 6 months later he wouldn't accept a new one........still hasn't!

I do recommend LG brand phones..........
