[QUOTE="silver, post: 61358, member: 1953"] We've brought drowned phones (saltwater) back to life by(very carefully) cleaning them in methylated spirits, I take the battery out first and clean it separately, then use the Metho to drench the phone and wash all the salt out of it(no smoking or flames with this), any stuck sand I remove with a safety pin. Let it all dry out thoroughly and only then replace the battery. Then put it on charge and see how it goes. I returned a high quality phone that went through the floods(freshwater) and was a couple of inches under the ground for six months. Fired it up and contacted the owner. And a salt water find that people had written of as lost, just the next day. Maybe worth a try(makes people happy to get their stuff back). [/QUOTE]
