Grrrrr phone and drink :(

[pooface]

Well pee'd off at the mo lol.

Last night, went to collect the washing from tumble dryer, and bought drink up for me and missus. Cup of tea for her and can of coke for me. Well, couldn't be bothered to go up and down the stairs, so put the can in me pocket (collected from garage when collecting washing from tumble, so was nice and cold), and carried the washing under the arm with the cup of tea in other arm.

Walking up the stairs, and trying to juggle passed the stair gate, and I bumped in to the stair gate.

Then, I think to myself "What's the cold feeling down my leg". Been years since I pissed myself, but I know it comes out warm, not ice cold Then, suddenly hits me it's the can... So, I take it out of my pocket, and to my dismay, there's my phone in there too!!! Right, quickly take out the battery, and try to soak up any remaining liquid in there. Shook out all excess liquid and cleaned out.

Now, it's waiting in a sealed tub of rice... Hoping all the liquid will be absorbed by it

But not in a good mood!!!

Hopefully it'll be ok. Don't fancy having to use the insurance again! Especially when the phone's only 2 weeks old!!!

if it was just water then drying out the board would be fine but the sugars in the coke will kill the phone

Thing is, I ain't opening up the sucker! Cus if I do, and need to claim on my phone insurance, the first thing they're gonna turn round and say is that I opened up the phone, and removed the warranty sticker, so they won't repair/replace it...

It did on my last claim for screen crack... So would have to check out regarding this claim if I do indeed need to claim. Hopefully will get away without needing to claim

most insurance policies wont cover any form of liquid damage unless it is stated. as for repairing liquid damage most of the time it's easy but the sugar in the coke will eat the coper tracks on the pcb like there going out of fashion. ( 15 years experience of unlocking / re-flashing and repairing mobile phones )

indeed but as he's not willing to open the phone for insurance reasons then it's a dead duck.

[silverfox0786]

well fingers crossed the rice sorts it out

[Larry-G]

i doubt it will as the sugars will still be there just dried onto the board. lets hope so but i wouldn't put money on it.
