Phone is working after disaster - thank god for this miracle

jmb2006
well today i was just sat on my bed having a bowl of cereal whilst watching tv, anyway the bowl spilled and the place directly under the bowl was my phone, it was covered in milk at first i thought it had seriously messed my phone up but after 10 minutes with a towel it worked fine, it still is working fine now, PHEW!!

Tip: always keep your phone away from liquids or anything harmful to your phone, even if you think ahh nvm it wont happen to me dont even take that chance.

Well thay make protective skins for keyboards that save the day when you spill liquids on them.
Do they make skins for phones tongue.gif ? Sounds like you could use one. Just thought I would ask.

Well im glad to hear that you phone is still working, it reminded me that my friend broke his $300 phone, the reason it broke was really funny. He decided to pick up a sock that he found on the ground, he put the phone in and the mechanism got caught and the phone snapped clean in half! All he can do is text, lol. Poor guy, but atleast yours works.

Many phones now are developed to withstand drops, knocks and having stuff spilt on them tongue.gif For example, my phone has a metal case, a scratch resistant screen and a rubber keypad to stop liquid affecting it. I managed to drop my mobile phone onto a concrete floor from about 6 feet and it still worked perfectly afterwards, and that was only made from plastic.

Yeah, my phone's got similar protection. In fact most electronics nowadays are protected against spills and drops. I saw on QVC a consumer HP camera that was totally weatherproof - they dipped it in a pool of water when it was on, and it still worked fine. I've dropped my digi camera and Pen drive numerous times, and fortunately, they haven't broken yet.

Geeeeee!

That's cool. I just would like to tell you that once I was enraged and took my Motorola cell phone and smashed it against the floor. It flew before my eyes into several pieces, jajajaja. I left it there and after chilling out, I took all the pieces and to my surprise I could put them all together and stills works as when I bought it, after three years. Some cell phones get broken by just beinf droped from short heights.

So, I'm sure Motorola is good. Or I'm lucky.

Most likely you are lucky. tongue.gif I have a Siemens A70 and I dropped it once. It still works. biggrin.gif

I thought your phone was in a hurricane or flood or something tongue.gif

Glad it working, even though it may smell like sour milk later.

hehe, yeah, alot of people seem to think electronics get effected by water damage alot faster/easier than they do it seems, alot of times if you drain them out and dry it out they'll work...Though you might wants to open yours up and sponge it down with a very, very small amount of water, though...that rotten milk smell... hehe.
And just to add this on since I'm too lazy to add it in above where it fits in more, did you know a car's electrical systems will work underwater for quite a while (can't remember how long) after it goes under?

I like the late colored models like the Nokia 3200. I've dropped mine a few times but still works fine. I've been using it for two years. XD

In your case, it should work again. My experience with that kind of disaster is a bit weird. I enjoyed the company of a phone and forgot that it was in pocket after I soaking in to the depths of a beach here. XXD

For almost a day of drying it under the sun, it worked fine like everything else. happy.gif

then one day i went to this china bazaar., and to my surprise , they had mobile screens for almost all models , i got it replaced, for almost Rs100 ($3). hmmmm the chinese are have solution for everthing isnt,???

now whenever i trace back to ths incident reminds me , of the techonology that has changed , now i dont think nokia even makes such phones. but it was one phone which i still have it as a sovenier.

I gave dad one of my old cell phones, he dropped it in the sea three times (always the same place, at the boat ramp) and we dried it out and works fine, on the third time we had to use electrical CRC ( a solution that repels water and protects most electrical components). and it came to life again

Not bad for a cheap $50 phone.

Cell phones these days can take one hell of a beating and still work fine.

Everyone has funny phone disaster stories, unfortunately not all of them turn out so well. One time, I was on a trip with my physics class to Six Flags (an amusement park). We went on a ride by the name of Nitro, and just a bit after going 80 miles per hour down 215 foot hill, I noticed something slipping out of my pocket. It turned out to be my cell phone. Before I could make an attempt to grab it, it shot out, flew between the space in the middle of my seat and the one adjacent, then just barely missed impaling my friend in the face, before falling onto either the water below or the solid concrete just before it.

I still think the toughest mobile phones r the old nokias, they can seem to withstand most stuff that comes their way, remember my nephew a few years ago trying to break his in temper, but he got more annoyed when it wouldn't break lol.

Except the Motorola SLVR series, those are...softies. Anyway, I dropped my Motorola ROKR E1 plenty of times now, it looks like a war veteran, but it still works perfectly. I haven't dropped my N80 and I don't plan to smile.gif
