5800 WM LCD Dead! Please Help.

Background:
I had it strapped to my arm while running... but didn't want the digitizer facing the sun, so it was facing my arm (but wasn't in contact with my skin, the strap was).  Anyway, it was a warm and very humid afternoon, I sweat a lot .... buy the time I finished my run, I realised the LCD was all black!  The music was still ok though, so I thought it's just the heat... so I switched it off and try to turn it back on... I haven't been abled to turn the phone back on since.  I don't see anything in the LCD!  It is completely back.  I do see lights in the power button, but that just about it.
I didn't submerge the phone in water of course, but did ran through a mist of water spray (you know how it is when you run and see that mist, it's almost heaven).  So the mist and my sweat would make it as if I had dropped it in salt water?  I don't know?
I have also read the post by psychomania in Top Solution > Pool Of Knowlegde >  [Dropped your phone in water? - Here's what to do next] and I only followed (1) to (7) where appropriate.  No I didn't wash my phone in fresh water or rice/gel it up for 3 days or use a hairdryer.  I just did the sensible thing and hope that it's the battery...
I have also tested my battery on another 5800 XM and it works.  I also try turning my phone on with a battery from another 5800 XM, but no success.
I bought my phone on eBay so Nokia Care Centre here (Australia) won't have anything to do with me! 
So My Question Is:
Is the LCD dead since I don't see a thing when trying to turn my phone on.   I am tempted to buy an LCD for this phone and replace it myself since Nokia here won't even look at me.  What do you think?  Any advise/suggestion would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance...

Just reviving this post to get some response...

  • My Pearl is dead : Please Help

    Hi,
    Last week , my pearl (8100)started behaving abnormally. It reboots by itself , red light blinks and  shows hour glass for a minute or two and then reboots again.
    I have shown to a local cellphone repair dealer , who tried flushing the software and reloading...Nothing worked..he said it might have developed some hardware problem.
    But ,Now condition has deteriorated and when I plug it to power to charge the battery, it is not charging and no red light blinking....no rebooting...it seems completely dead.....
    Please help.

  • My ibook is "sort-of" dead" please help.

    after installing a third-party application, my computer started acting up, Parts of the picture would stop and just go black...things just got worse; Now the computer does turn on, but I dont hear the start up noise, all I hear is the fan running and the CD-Rom running as well. No picture. Im not sure if its a virus, or something worse. Ive tried resetting the pram and the pmu, I tried to boot up from the cd-rom ( which is now stuck in there ) Please help.
    iBook g4   Mac OS X (10.4.1)  

    After leaving my ipod hooked up to my computer for most of the day yesterday and resetting it a couple times, it actually turned on and started working. But the battery died almost immediately, so I am guessing it is the battery ... maybe?
    Any thoughts on how to go about getting a new battery? I am not great with technology and don't even see how to open the ipod so that the battery can be replaced.
    I appreciate any help!!
    Thanks!

  • Logic Midi Note Dead, Please Help!!!

    I am mixing some cues for a indi production. Today I merged two midi regions (region1, and region 2). However the last note of region one now won't play correctly. I need it to be a held not but no matter what I do I only get like a eigth beat staccato note and then silence. This only happens on any notes placed in that particular beat of that particular measure. No matter what not it is I ge the same effect. I've gone through my event list to see if any controllers are affecting it but none seem to be active on that beat. Please help. I really need that note to hold the entire beat.
    P.S. I'm on logic pro 9

    Thanks for the reply,
    I've already checked for multiple notes, nada. I can get no sound on the beat, just not a long sound.
    It looks right on the piano roll editor. Thats the problem. I can't use the piano roll to adjust the time of the note. I'm writing a song in the piano roll using the esX24 as my synthesizer. So its a pretty basic bare bones set up. I've tried copying other notes to that beat, no results either. Anynot I put on that partical beat, no matter what i is, will only play a short staccato.
    Is there any sort of catche for midi data that might have recorded an error?

  • My iBook is dead PLEASE HELP ME OUT!

PLEASE SOMEONE HELP!
    iBook G4   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    Hi Dead (kinda strange name, especially when you iBook is running again)
    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    Alright take a deep breath everything is going to be fine. First off what kind of smell? I have noticed over the years that all Macs, when they get hot have a scent. When you try to turn your computer on any vital signs? Sounds? Lights? Anything? You might want to take your computer to your local Apple Store to get an evaluation from a Mac Genius. Respond with specifics about everything, you get better responces. I wouldn't be surprised if you fried it. Maybe surge, but its hard to tell.
    I hope that helps,
    Jon
    PS Everything will be fine!

  • S video to LCD TV, PLEASE HELP!!

    I've been racking my brain and trying to figure this out but i cant. I bought the dynex mini dvi to s video and an am trying to hook it up to my LCD tv. I've connected everything and it doesn't quite seem to work. Currently i have a black and white horizontal/ vertical split of the screen. It will stay like this then loose signal and then return to the messed up screen. I haven't the foggiest idea of how to remedy this problem and was hoping someone would help! Thank in advance!!!

    Scroll down the list of resolution settings all the way to the bottom. Do any of them show the (NTSC) or (PAL) option? Try (NTSC) for North American, (PAL) for European TV equipment. Just a thought, not sure if that will work or not.
    Otherwise, maybe your adapter is bad, can you try with another TV or another device like a VCR? Does that adapter also have the RCA component video plug like the Apple mini-DVI to video adapter? Try the RCA plug, if you have one.

  • My account is dead-please help

    actually this is the first time i use this forum,I was living in lebanon and was using the lebanon store on itunes. when I moved to qatar I kept lebanon store and the same billing information but this time I registered the qatari bank Visa card instead of the lebanese one since I closed my bank account in lebanon and the qatari bank visa card was working fine untill this december it expired when I was doing a purchase, I renewed the card and tried to enter the new expiry date in the apple account but it gives an error that "the payment card you entered is not valid in lebanon" although it is the same card which was working before.the only difference is the bank generated a new expiry date.Aslo when I tried to change the location to qatar, I recieved another error which tells that " a purchase was opened and can not be closed" so I have to close this payment before I change the location and use the card.In this case what should I do? I am stuck, unable to do any application update.
    appreciate your help and advice

  • My Mac Pro is completely dead, please help

    I tried remove everything and nothing helps so I suspect power supply (or maybe motherboard?,) so what I can do now? I dont have any other mac, so can I use power supply from PC? local apple service told me, they cant do anything, because its old model (they dont have parts)
    so what I can do now? thank you and pardon me my english
