Well I\'d like to share this story because it\'s amusing....
Last night I got home from the bar (I was actually out with a board member here..jon L)
Anyway i\'m about to go take a leak and my cell phone falls right in the toilet.
Now when I open it it\'s going nuts and all the features are all over the place...then the screen goes black
This has happened before and I was determined to fix this phone!
I took the battery out right away because I knew that would be the main reason it gets fried...
I dry it off as best I can, take it apart, dry it again with a hair drier..
Next, I soak the entire phone in rubbing alcohol to displace the rest of the water and help it dry out even more later
then, I dry it in the oven at 100 degrees for 3 hours today.
Long story short, I pop the battery back in and my phone turns right on as if nothing had ever happened....
Just call me Macguiver...
Usually I rarely post non-horror or mask posts but this is just too cool!
