Cell phone resurrection

Oh, by the way ...
Life is funny.  From our adventure on Sunday you know that Mother Superior put her cell phone in the wash and could not possibly go to the Florida nudist camp on Monday without one so we jumped through hoops to get her a new one and then she had to cancel the trip anyway because of stomach irregularities but at least had a cell phone to cancel the reservation.

The old cell phone came back to life yesterday morning.

STG, the following is TMI, but wholly truthful. I blame your blog for jinxing me.
Despite Casca's remark regarding how the water is always clean, yesterday my Razor cell fell out the pocket and into the pre-courtesy flush. I followed the take apart rule with no hope 'cause Razors seem too techie. BUT, she's back on line today, blue tooth and all. Holy Shit never seemed more appropriate. Thank god for extra fluffy Charmin. STg

Jinxed? I think not. Instead of breaking into tears and putting the Razr into the Osterizer like most women wouod do, you were prepared to take quick and effective action. We saved you thousands of dollars Juice!

Hate to rain on the parade(s), but it won't last unless you take it completely apart - i.e. into as many pieces as you can without breaking anything - and drying it with a hairdryer or something. I'm talking removing screws, voiding warranties (likely voided when it got wet anyway), etc.

Otherwise, the innards will slowly corrode, vastly reducing the life of the phone, until one day parts of it just go kaput forever.

And yes, I speak from experience - my 2 year old dropped my wife's LG VX8100 into dishwater. We took off the battery and dried it as well as that allowed. The phone worked for another 6 months, albeit with some glitches on the screens. Then one day, the main screen went solid white, and there it stays to this day.

So yeah, they'll work. For a while. But if you need them to work long-term, better get out the microsurgery tools, take that sucker apart, and REALLY dry it.
