*sigh*
Love accidentally washed his $250 Samsung Caliber cell phone in with the laundry. He discovered it when he was putting the clothes into the dryer. We opened it up completely; unscrewed all the tiny screws and pried the damned back off – which was really hard!! – took the mircoSD card and battery out (no SIM card) and began a 20 minute low heat/low speed blow dry into all the little nooks followed by putting it in a bowl of uncooked rice to try and draw out any remaining water.
It was his birthday present in February. I can’t tell you how much I hope it’s salvageable. There’s simply no way we can afford to replace it. Not after $4,000 of car repairs last month!
Keep your fingers crossed please!
(And no, we didn’t opt for the insurance coverage on it. Never suspected he’d accidentally launder it. And the Samsung warranty doesn’t cover water damage.)
