Cell phone overboard August 27, 2004
|
I have a Motorola V60 that was immersed in water while it was turned on. After getting it out of the water, I turned it off, removed the battery, and let it dry for a couple of days. What are the chances that it will work normally?

Unfortunately, not so good--most of the time, water ruins the cell phone's internal circuits. However, there is a possibility that it will work for a while longer. In the meantime, if you have insurance, you might want to take advantage of it. You could get a new model or, better yet, check with your carrier to see if there are better deals on a newer phone.
