Okay...

Open it up, but they do take a weird kind of driver (not the typical screw driver). I found one at sears for like $5 once (cause they wanted like $20 for one in other places), or slide through the mall tomorrow and ask them to let you borrow one at them center spots where they sell replacable shells for cellys.

Get yourse;f some conpressed air (like the ones used to clean computers). A blow drier is not good Homie, trust me. The point is to get as much water out, not let it dry in there. Once you do that, get some Q-tips and alcohol and clean up the inside of your celly. Once you do that, let it dry on it's own (it'll evaporate as your doing it), so don't trip.

Trust me with that Homie, no lie.

if u got service w cingular and the lil dot is already changed color and if u dont have insurance then yea ur pretty much fucked, did u have the lg cu500? what u can do is call them make up sum bullshit how ur phone just stopped working they will transfer u to warrenty then they will send u out a refurb phone

but..... they see the liquid damage indicator is fucked up then they will charge you 115 buckz which will be on ur next bill so pretty much u got 2 options but a new phone at the no commitment pricing which is the highest ammount u will pay or just pay the 115

I fucked up and took my chocolate with me on one of those raptds rides at Kennywood, shit got soaked, Now every now and then it won't hold a charge, Took it to Verizon, and they sent me another battery, but it does the same shit. The sticker didn't turn color though, so I might be able to get it replaced...


How that helps you, I dunno, but I think you're fucked out of a phone.

it mostlikely has torx screws on it.. or maybe it has hex or phillips.. if you can get it opened.. take a picture of the mainboard and show it to me. i could tell whats wrong with it, ive restored ipods that were washed, dropped in pools, i fixed my other cellphone that i jumped in the pool with back in high school.

My LGVX8600 went through the wash. Opened it to dry for a few days, all I could get it to do was get it to the splash page. Made a call to a homie, got it replaced. Trust me, seen it a million times, it's toast.
