    I assume it was a suggestion that some recycling places pay good money for top spec/new model phones even if they dont function?

    Erm, Wasn't my advice to just leave it to dry, and leave it some more, and basically don't give up hope for about a month?
    Something like that, surely.

    So, did it come back to life?

    yeah you said there isnt enough gubbins in the phone to be properly effected by the water and just keep drying it. so i did, and waited long past what i usually would have. and lo it eventually worked.

    side note. i took it to CEX in town first of all he valued it at £65, they turned it on, which was fine, then he took the battery off and said it has been water damaged and cant accept it.
    he pointed out a little white patch that turns pink when water touches it on the battery.

    so i scratched out the now pink panel and then doctored a small piece white mtb sticker to fit the gap. and posted it off. KA-CHINNNNGG! £84

    take that, the man!
