Will my Blackberry still work if I dropped it in a hottub?

okay usually I’m not this stupid but I was under the influence of alcohal last night haha yeah well anyways we all went into the hot tub and I forgot my blackberry was in my bra and it went under water for about five to ten seconds. I let it dry off on the table and this morning when I put the battery back in my phone light was on but the screen was not working. Any advice?

Answer #1

You’re screwed.

Dropping it in water voids the warranty (yes, they can tell), and it’ll probably never work right again.

Time to go phone shopping…

Answer #2

Hm.. I don’t know.

My old cell phone went through the wash. I had forgot it in my pants pocket. I let it dry for a few days and it worked just the same.

I got a new cell phone for Christmas though. =D

Answer #3

Once they open it, they’ll know. No use in lying, or avoiding the truth. Mine got wet one time though, and it needed about a week to dry it and it worked.

Answer #4

Make sure it is really really dried out before writing it off as being totally broken. Stick it somewhere warm, like a Hot Water Cupboard for a few days, then try again. Sometimes electronics are like that - here’s hoping that turning it on when you did didn’t damage it, and that it just needs drying out more.

Answer #5

clever, take it apart and let it dry

Answer #6

gee, i wonder.
