How can I get my phone working after water ingress

Help..... My phone just went into the toilet basin...
It didn't get very wet because of the cover I use, but it still had a dunking..
Right, when I re-set the phone using on/off key top, I get the blackberry name and a white screen, after about 20 seconds this then fades away to leave just the white screen.
Now the red led is flashing and the blackberry name appears for maybe 2 seconds then goes again...
Is there anything I can do to help my phone work again.
How can I dry the phone out so that it will work again?
Any help appreciated. Thanks...
Solved!

My suggestion read a book when you go instead. ;-)

  • I'm getting "Unknown Error 6" when trying to upgrade my iPhone 4S to iOS 8.1.  The phone is then stuck on the red iTunes logo + USB screen.  How can I get the phone working again?

    I've tried upgrading my iPhone 4S using iTunes 12.01.26 on 4 different computers at home and at the office:
    Macbook Air - OS X version 10.7.5
    Macbook Pro - OS X Yosemite
    2 PCs running Windows 7 Professional
    iTunes downloaded the installer and the installation process seemed to get 90% complete before showing the error, "The iPhone, "iPhone" could not be updated. An unknown error occurred (6)."
    The phone is now stuck on the red iTunes logo screen:
    How can I get it out of this mode?
    I've tried holding the power button and home buttons down for ten seconds, then letting go of the power button, but keeping the home button down for another 10 seconds.  I've also tried Reiboot, Wondershare Dr. Fone in desperation to try to get the phone out of this mode.  Nothing seems to fix it.
    If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know.

    i do that but it keeps getting stuck on the 'preparing to restore i phone' screen for a few mins before coming up with 'unknown error 1603'.
    Just doublechecking. Have you worked through the 1603-specific instructions from the following document?

    Reading the User Guide will tell you how to restore your phone.  There's a bookmark to it in your Safari app, or you can download it as a free iBook from the iTunes store.

  • My phone is frozen....this is the second phone that has done this.  How can I get my phone working without going into a store spending countless hours only for them to minimize the problem.

    My phone froze this morning while I was replying to an email.  Is there anything I can do to get it working and to avoid going into Apple?

    Assuming it is charged and did not shutdown due to low battery, have you tried an power off/on?  Or a reset by holding the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears and it restarts?

  • I recently transferred my ipnone service from at&t to another carrier the phone worked fine until i tried to up it with itunes i now have a frozen itunes logo and a plug on the screens my phone is a iphone 3g how can i get my phone to work again?

    my ipone 3g is frozen with aitunes logo and plug after i tried to update it from apple. the phone worked fine even thou i changed carriers from at&t to Simple celleur. How can i get my phone to work?

    As AT&T has not officially unlocked your phone it must have been hacked to use another carrier.  So when you updated it has relocked itself to AT&T. There is no official unlock so this will happen anytime you update.

  • My Microsoft Office 2004 stopped working after upgrading to MT.  How can I get it to work, or, how can I uninstall MT?

    My Microsoft Office 2004 stopped working after upgrading to Mountain Lion.  How can I get it to work again, or, how can I uninstall MT?

    Office 2004 Applications Won't Work in Lion
    You must have Office 2004 which is a PPC-only suite and will not work in Lion. You need to upgrade to Office 2011 - Mactopia - or you can try the freeware suite, Libre Office, that is functionally similar to Office 2007 for Windows except it works on Lion.
    You may want to consider as well:
    These two suites are similar to Libre Office but not as current or as well-supported:
    NeoOffice
    Open Office
    And, then there is Apple's iWork suite:
    Pages - word processing and layout
    Keynote - presentation
    Numbers - spreadsheet
    Each can open and save Office compatible files. They may be purchased separately via the Mac App Store for $19.99 each.
    (Access to the Mac App Store requires Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or higher and an Apple ID.)

    How can I get my ringtones back after I've updated my phone

    Do you have copies of them in the Tones section of your computer's iTunes library or on your backup of your downloads/library so that you can sync them back to your phone? If you haven't then you could try contacting iTunes Support and see if they will grant you a redownload

  • After connecting to itune to down load and update my 3gs iphone it is now telling me "no sim card" How can I get round this?, after connecting to itune to down load and update my 3gs iphone it is now telling me "no sim card" How can I get round this?

    After connecting my 3gs phone to itune last night to download items and to get new updates my phone will not work, it says to add a sims card to phone but the sims is already in it.  How can I get my phone to work?

    Sounds like your iPhone was previously hacked/modified/jailbroken
    and the update has relocked it to the original wireless carrier. If that
    is the case, only the wireless carrier to which the iPhone is now locked
    can unlock it.
    Does the app Cydia appear on your iPhone?
    What does it say when you look at Settings=>General=>Carrier?
    What wireless provider do you normally use?

  • How can i get hotmail to work in mail?

    So in hotmail it finally lets me select if I use POP to download Hotmail messages to another program, that program could make it so I can't read my messages on Hotmail. (For example, this might happen if you use Mac Mail or Mozilla Thunderbird).
    I have the "Do what my other program says-if it says to delete messages, then delete them." box selected.
    however my mail on my it mac says
    "There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Verify the settings for account “[email protected] ” or try again. The server returned the error: The connection to the server “pop” on port 110 timed out."
    yet it works on my itouch with mail and hotmail. what is going on? how can i get mail to work with hotmail on my mac?

    By doing a Google search for their phone number and their support website.

  • I am using Numbers on my iPhone5 and cannot get the app to do a simple (SUM) calculation.  It shows the formula correctly in the cell, but all I get for my long list of numbers to add is 0.  How can I get this to work?

    I am using Numbers on my iPhone5 and cannot get the app to do a simple (SUM) calculation.  It shows the formula correctly in the cell, but all I get for my long list of numbers to add is 0.  How can I get this to work?

    Oaky, at least we got that far.  Next step is to determine if all those "numbers" are really numbers.  Changing the format to "number" doesn't necessarily change the string to a number. The string has to be in the form of a number.  Some may appear to you and me as numbers but will not turn into "numbers" when you change the formatting from Text to Number. Unless you've manually formatted the cells to be right justified, one way to tell if it is text or a number is the justification. Text will be justified to the left, numbers will be justified to the right.
    Here are some that will remain as strings:
    +123
    123 with a space after it.
    .123
