NOKIA E72 water damage?!

Hi,
Some drops of rain water fell on my Nokia E72 today. As soon as I got back home..I wiped my phone clean..opened the back panel and wiped the battery and I blew-dry d entire fone too .
All functions seem to be ok except the headset jack which is placed at d top..it DOES recognize d headset n play music but won't detect when I detach the headphones. So to u se loud speaker again,I have to restart my phone.
2. USB port also seems affected,it got me connected to laptop and is acting very well as modem but won't charge.
For some time the speaker wasn't working properly either..d sound was coarse n volume level had come down considerably. but after dryin n playin music for some time,it is restored to original
Please suggest me how to solve the above two problems as I don't really want to go to customer care for these little problems. Thanks.

try removing the battery sim and sd card and leave in hot press over night or look here

  • Nokia N8 water damage?

    I have recently sent phone off to nokia as it lost power and would not come back on . To have it returned saying it is due to water damage. I have been told by salesman at carphone wharehouse that any use of phone in damp or wet conditions can cause this even when im in a hot climate and then going into air conditioned room can cause it to sweat having not been told that i can only use my phone when it is dry and not too humid when i purchased it and seeing all the other problems people seem to be having with their n8s. Do nokia not think that this phone is NOT FIT FOR PURPOSE as stated in consumer law and should be fixing problem and replacing peoples phones.

  • 5800 water damage?

    Yeah.. Rainy day here today, and of course i used my 5800 in the rain. I saw the keypad lights are off, no matter how many times i lock and open. I tried to restart, but after turning off, nothing happens. Now it booted up again, but now all the keypad lights are on, XpressMusic light etc even if i lock it. Reboot again, now they worked normal few times but then they turned off again, then reboot and again lights are all time on. Now it wont boot up again.. Did my 5800 get water damage.. Should i try to leave it without battery for sometime to dry it?
    Sometimes it boots up and sometimes not. Too bad there is no Nokia Care Center near my place, can i take it to an shop which sells electronics, phones computers etc, can they send my phone for Nokia and fix it if i pay for it? Too bad i cant disassemble it since one screw which has become a bad screw even i use T6 screwdriver, i cant get the phone open because of this one screw.. Should it dry even if it is in case?

    Thanks, Live Chat said and gave me information how i can send it for repair. I probably send it to repair, it wont boot up anymore... :/ I send it to repair instead of buying a other phone, 5800 will always be my favourite phone =)
    E: Now it booted up again, the light problem came back, works for while and then they keep off until reboot. Just weird that now the screen has 2 black stripes beneath the screen.
    I think i will leave it under radiator to warm up, maybe it starts working... Fingers crossed so my poor 45e 5800 would work again..

  • N900 Water Damage / Vibrate doesn't work

    My phone was exposed to water and I read an article to use white rice to soak up the water and hope it works.  Well, it works...but the vibrate feature when receiving messages, phone calls on silent, etc...doesn't work.  Anything I can do to make it work again?  Like a master reset?  Or is there nothing I can do in this instance?

    Accidents happen with phones and water but it doesn't always mean that all hope is lost. Below is a brief guide as to what you should do if your phone has been totally immersed in water.
    1. Take the phone out of the water as quickly as possible.
    2. Do not attempt to switch it on as this may cause further damage.
    3. Remove the battery as quickly as you can, also remove the memory and sim cards.
    4. If dropped in fresh water dry it off with a towel. If dropped in salt water rinse it thoroughly with fresh water. I know it sounds crazy getting it wet again but salt can cause a lot of internal damage such as corrosion. Again dry with a towel. You may also want to rinse it if you dropped it in a toilet.
    5. Place the phone, battery and it's wet accessories in a plastic container (like a lunch box) and completely cover it with uncooked rice, use plenty of it. Again this sounds crazy but rice has desiccating properties that help draw the water out of the phone. Do not place a lid on the container.
    6. Place the container somewhere very warm and dry for at least 3 days. An airing cupboard is often the ideal place.
    7. Do not use a hair dryer directly on the phone to speed up the process. Too much heat can cause even more damage.
    This isn't guaranteed to work but many people have successfully revived their phones and retrieved their data using this method.
    Keep in mind that your phone is on borrowed time after you do this. Make it your first priority to retrieve any data that you would like to keep. It may only work for a few minutes, days, weeks, months or it may even last years.
    You should monitor the phone carefully during charging. If it gets very hot the battery may be damaged and should be replaced.
    After any exposure to water you no longer have a warranty as water damage is not covered. Any insurance policies on the phone may also be voided unless you are covered for accidental damage.
    A more efficient alternative to rice is silica gel. You most likely won't have enough of the stuff to hand when the accident happens but it is good to use. Silica gel can be bought from electronic wholesalers like this example. Thank you to shuntfield for this information.
    Good luck!

  • TA44551 My 1-year ipod nano locked up and would not start overnight. The on/off button will not work and stopped holding charge. No water damage, no fall, nothing unusual. I restored it (twice) but it will still not hold charge and on/off does not work.

    My 1-year ipod nano locked up and would not start overnight. The on/off button will not work and stopped holding charge. No water damage, no fall, nothing unusual. I restored it (twice) but it will still not hold charge and on/off does not work. I tried to restore it again and charged it in three different locations with different cables. etc but nothing. Suggestions?

    - After charging for 1/2 hour or so, does iTunes see the iPod?  If yes, restore the iPod from backup.
    - If no, se if placing the iPod in recovery mode will make it visible so you can restore the iPod.  For recovery mode see:

    Try keeping the new one dry.

  • Please help!! Computer dummy + water damage

    I know this is a very common, probably annoying, question asked in Apple forums but I can't find a recently updated discussion page to post this on. My Google searches aren't really coming up with a specific answer, just pages of forums from 2005-2008. I didn't see any with recent dates, and I really need someone to give advice asap. I am in graduate school and desperately need to get my computer running again or at the VERY least find out if the hard drive is still functional so I can access my important files and transfer them to a new computer.
    My Macbook was sitting on my bed, closed and unplugged. I am normally very careful with my Macbook, and I thought my Nalgene water bottle was tightly closed (it wasn't) and a safe distance from my laptop (wrong again). Since water bottles don't fly, I assume my cat knocked my water bottle off the bedside table and onto the bed....more specifically, onto my Macbook. I was in the bathroom getting ready for bed when this occurred. I came out of the bathroom to find a large puddle on the bed and an empty water bottle nearby. And just my luck, the Macbook was right in the middle of the puddle. It was about 15 ounces of water. The area surrounding the computer was soaked through the bedspread, all the way down to the sheets. I'm guessing the water was on the laptop for about 3-5 minutes while I was out of the room.
    Here is what I did upon finding this disaster:
    1) I immediately moved the Macbook to a dry area, and used a dry towel to blot up what I thought was all of the water. Some water had even gotten to the keyboard/screen, even though the laptop was closed.
    2) I was not thinking straight and I know nothing about internal workings of laptops, so I performed the panicky knee-jerk reaction.... "ok, I got most of the water, I should check see if it still works" and tried to turn it on. I realize now that was a dumb move, and I am very angry with myself. But anyway, it began to start up normally, but right after making the Apple noise that it usually makes upon restarting, it faded to a blue screen with the apple logo for a second, then went black. I know this is bad, but I didn't heard any abnormal noises like something was being fried, it just shut off.
    3) I removed the plastic Incase protective shell. Note to self: it is not watertight. Some water was trapped underneath the shell, but I didn't realize how much had gone inside the computer yet.
    4) I dried off the top and bottom of the laptop
    5) I removed the battery. Water came dripping out. Sad times.
    6) With another dry towel, I blotted everywhere I could to soak up as much water as possible, and placed the laptop on a towel on a desk in an upside down V shape. The battery is next to it.
    This all happened at 11pm on 2/2/2010. The Macbook has been sitting in the same position ever since, in a low-humidity room with an overhead fan. I do not have Apple Care but I know water damage isn't covered anyway. I've also read that Apple charges anywhere from $700-900 to repair water damage, so I might as well buy a new laptop if this damage is irreparable. Given my situation, my questions are:
    1) How much longer should I wait before trying to turn it back on? It has been almost 48 hours.
    2) Can anyone give me any advice (other than "be more careful next time") for what to do next? Does putting the laptop in a sealed box full of rice really help get the moisture out? How about a hair dryer?
    3) Should I follow the instructions on ifixit.com to take the computer apart to allow for more evaporation? Because if it is strongly recommended that I do this, I can have my fiance (who is very good with computers) do it for me....but I am very worried that taking it apart will damage it even further.
    3) If all else fails and the logic board is fried, can I still remove the hard drive and get my files off of it?
    Any responses will be greatly appreciated.

    hey, sorry to hear about your computer.
    i'll try to answer your questions, so here goes:
    1. you could try again to turn on the computer, but the only issue is that the parts of the computer are already fried and might not work. you could try though, it can't hurt to try. also, when doing this listen for beeps coming from the computer. if that happens, i can send a list of beep codes that might narrow down what might have been damaged.
    2. i have heard that rice does work since it absorbs a lot of moisture. i've never (thankfully) had to try it before, but other people says it works fine. you might try that before turning on the computer again. it'll just get rid of the excess moisture.
    3. taking apart the computer won't damage it if done correctly. ifixit is a good place to go for that kind of stuff. just know that if something does break, you'll be charged for a replacement part (though it looks like you'll have to pay for some replacements anyway). this might work for drying out, but i'd stick with the rice to be safe, just because it doesn't involve disassembling the computer.
    4. if your logic board is fried, you can possibly recover the data from the hard drive. the only possibility is that water entered the drive, rendering it useless. if you are going to attempt to salvage the hard drive, you'll need another laptop to put it in or get a drive reader. it plugs into another computer and reads the drive through the Disk Utility. i'm not quite sure where to get those, but i'm sure you can find on on Newegg.com or some reputable computer parts store.
    i'm not totally sure how much apple charges for water damage repairs, but it's worth going to a store and they can see whats wrong and come up with an estimate and then decide whether to get a new macbook or to forgo the cost of repairs.
    i'm really sorry to hear about your macbook, but i really hope something can be done. write back if you need more help.

  • I have a water damage iPhone 5s would like to change to new set with top up the money. But the staff told me it couldn't be done due to some of my minor parts are missing according to company policy. I need advise as I want to change it.

    Hi all,
    I have a water damage iPhone 5s was bring to service center to have new set change with top up the money. Well, the staff were told me that the phone can't be change due to some of minor parts are missing in the phone. He said this is due to company policy. I would like to check is that nothing can do with this missing minor parts? I really doubt the policy of the Apple as I was told as long as you bring to the service center, they will assists. As Apple is a well known brand top of the world, but the servicing is really make me so disappointed! I really doubt should I still continue to support the Apple product with helpless service!
    Would like to take this opportunity to seek the professional advise in order to get my phone change back.
    Appreciate very much!
    Thanks.

    Well, your service is handled by an Authorized Apple Service Center. If they refuse to handle the claim, that is well within their rights. Apple as well could void a claim under the same circumstances. I'm not saying that you did or did not modify the device, but you could try and talk to a supervisor there and make another request. You can also try and contact Apple by obtaining a number with this support document and describe your problem. http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57

  • Water Damaged Blackberry Storm 2 9520

    Hi, I got rugby tackled into a lake with my BB in my pocket a few weeks ago and the phone got wet. i took the battery out straight away and then dried the phone in a bowl of rice for a few days. when i put the battery back in the phone worked fine for about a week and then the screen started to stop working sporadically before packing up altogether. the little water damage indicator on the phone has turned red but the one on the battery hasn't. even then the red LED still came on when i put the battery in and the 4 little call, menu, back, and hang up lights came on too. about two weeks later i had the device charged in my bag when i went into an old wifi spot i used and i heard the phone recieving emails, bbms and facebook notifications so it all still worked. i was fiddling around with it the other day and i could see thep phone was trying to load up when i plugged it in although the screen was very dim as if the backlight wasnt working. after a long time (maybe and hour or so) i looked at it again and could make out that there were a list of specifications and numbers on the screen in tiny print and a small icon in the centre of the screen that said "reset" on it. i tried to click this but the touch screen wasnt working so it didnt work. i was wondering if anyone knew if theres any way of fixing the phone? 

    It is possible, though difficult, to replace the LCD and Capacitive screen on the 9520. For the cost, it really isn't worth it.
    If your Storm is powering up, I'd MAKE CERTAIN you backup using the BlackBerry Desktop Software, immediately, so at least your data is preserved.

  • If I'm already paying 149.99 to replace my water damaged Iphone 4 can I pay the Iphone 4s replacement price and get that instead? If No explain why please . Thank you

    I have a water damaged Iphone 4 I have had for only 8 months. Today I went to the apple store to see how much a replacement was and the girl told me 149.99 for my iphone. What I was wondering is can i pay the replacment cost of an Iphone 4s and get that instead . I dont see the problem since my phone is broken anyways . But I would like to hearf if any one has tried the same thing.
    Thanks

    The only exception would be if there were no like models available.  There was a short period when there were not sufficient supplies of the 3gs to effect warranty replacements.  In that case, they replaced the 3GS with a 4 at no additional charge.  But the warranty fine print specifies that they will repair or replace the device, at their discresion.
