my brilliant friend from far away lands who is the rescuer of all things electronic gave me advice on how to preserve my old (potty) phone long enough to get my data off of it. and he was gracious enough to let me share his insight with all of you.
to take the wet phone and absorb all the moisture from the inner workings w/o trying to take the whole thing apart and make an even bigger mess out of it.....simply remove the back and battery and place the phone in a tupperware container full of dry rice. leave for 8 hrs. flip over and leave for another 8 hrs. take out and put the battery back in and try it.
it totally worked for my phone and will likely work for yours, should this ever happen to any of you ("sas" et al). my friend says that adding a little tech nerd prayer right before you try to start it again might help, too. (something like "dear st. stewart, patron saint of gadgets, please have mercy on my stupid self for besmirching this here cell phone with water of the most unholy nature...").
so thanks, man. you're a lifesaver.
and if you're curious as to what i'm actually doing while i'm supposed to be studying for this upcoming internal medicine exam, i think that this is way more useful in the long run.
