Tip of the day

Don't let your cellphone go through a FULL cycle in the 'ol washer machine.They tend not to work to well after that kind of trauma.

let it dry out completely before trying to turn it on.

it just MIGHT survive. (unless it went through the dryer)

Just the washer.I re-activated my old phone,good thing I hung onto that!

It actually now works.The only malfunction is that the only noise it will now make is static.Static doesn't make a great ringtone.

I dropped my first cell phone in the drink within the first week. REALLY not wanted to fess up that I ruined it in such short time (and while I was fishing) I proceeded to pull it apart and try drying it out in by sticking it in front of the heater in the car.....it took a while but it finally worked! I would imagine a hairdryer or something of the sort would work just as well if not better. Hey its worth a shot!!!


..oh and by the way, that phone and battery lasted me for about three more years!

Simplify.......
