Ok, so my LG 8300 slipped out of my hand and into a pool. As soon as I noticed it I dived in, grabbed it, jumped out, and took out the battery. I let it dry for a few hours, then took a hair dryer to both the back of the phone and the battery, then I let it sit over a heating vent all night. I went to put the battery back in and try it, but it still wont work. I hold down the red button for the required 3 seconds, and I get the "Verizon Wireless" symbol like always. Then I get an error message saying "Use Genuine Battery. Power Off". Sometimes the screen is white, sometimes the screen is clear. Any help?
BTW, I dont have insurance on it and I have only had it for 6 months.
Answer:
Since you have Verizon, you should be able to go in and pay atleast $50 for the rep. to get a refurbished one sent to you. I%26#39;ve done it for several people who didn%26#39;t have insurance. well that suks... its possible that it will work again, but more than likely, its screwed. sucks to be you
i just lost my razor to the washer, nothing you can do The water in the pool could instantly cause a short circuit destroying an integrated circuit. You can try replacing the battery and see what happens. Try letting it dry overnight with the battery out. I dropped my cell phone in water and it took almost 24 hours for it to work again. The insides need to completely dry out. Check out this web site for some tips. By the way, even if you had insurance, it usually doesn%26#39;t cover water damage. You%26#39;re beat. The phone is shot. The corrosion the moisture causes instantly will ruin that phone. The chlorine in the water definitely wont help either!
