...yep, that's me.
Last night my poor mobile phone took a dive into an 'almost' empty coffee cup.
I say 'almost' because there was certainly enough coffee in the cup to give the phone a good soaking.
I then proceeded to spend until almost 2am trying to get the thing dry and working properly - I lost count of the times that I took the thing apart in order to hold the main body infront of my fan heater in the hope that it would dry.
First the PIN was throwing a wobbly and adding numbers (* symbols) at a rate of knots...boy did the battery come out super quick as I didn't want the thing to lock and bar my access.
Then I got the PIN to behave but the date kept sticking.
Horror of horrors when I got past that stage it started to re-dial last called numbers - at almost midnight I could imagine how popular I was going to be...out with the battery again; double quick.
At just before 2am I finally managed to get it working and everything behaving itself.
I really don't know how I managed to drop the phone in the first place but I can tell you this much - I'll be keeping it well away from anything that is even a tad on the damp side...I ain't going through that again...................................

Glad to read that you managed to get your phone back to life! :)
Oh no! Glad you got it working, I've read that if you put your phone in rice, that dries it out :) .... Maybe next time lol
Oh you poor thing - I know from hubby spilling a full cup of coffee onto a laptop an age ago that tech and drinks don't go! Hope the phone is still behaving itself!
Oh no, I live in dread of doing something like that!! Sounds like you had quite a traumatic time with it, glad it seems to have recovered! I wonder if the tip about sticking wet phones in rice to dry out is worth trying in these situations???

LOL... sorry Toni, but you did make me laugh with the calling numbers at midnight!! I seem to remember something about putting them in uncooked rice to dry them out but it may just have been something I dreamt!! :) Glad you got it working again!!
