Hi Guys
The Mrs decided her mobile phone needed a clean up so she put it thru the wash:eek::eek::eek::eek:

Ok I've settled down now, sorry bout that.

Maybe if you pull it all apart and dry the whole lot thoroughly there's a chance. Kind of depends a bit on how new and complex it is. It's a slim chance but you never know.

Don't try and turn it on. Take the battery off and use a hair dryer on low and give it a gentle blow. Leave it for a few days to really dry out and then give it a go.

Strip the phone down totally and lay its parts in the sun to dry. Then clean it up if it needs it with a toothbrush and head cleaning fluid or similar.

When a phone gets wet, the sooner you remove the battery the more likely it will survive is my experience.

So it might survive and it might not but you have nothing to lose by trying.

Short answer is NO.....

If you want to know why, I will post it if you want to know.

Ive lost 2 phones that way so now I use one of those wankey looking belt pouch things so it comes off with my belt.
