Question

I accidently washed my atampT cell phone today, let it in my jeans and went through the washer cycle.?
My cell phone wont turn on after it going through the washer cycle in my jeans? Is it savable or trashed?

Answer

If youve tried to turn it on, its probably trashed. Feel free to try the following though.brbrTake it apart. Take the battery back off, take the battery and SIM card out. Use a Hexbit driver to remove the inside metal covers and expose the inside circuit board. You can also remove them safely. Wash it gently OFF with cool clean water to remove and residue from soap, etc. Let it under a watt desk lamp for hours, taken apart. If you havnt tried to turn it on after washing it, this generally works to save the phone. Otherwise, hope you have insurance!
