MyTouch Damaged Question

[Taiken]

I recently got rained on and my phone's touch pad stopped working. I also always get force close when I try to open up my contacts (with the trackball).

However after a day part of the touch screen started working again. I believe that it is water damage. I called Tmobile and told them that it just stopped working since the water damage label is still white.

Would anyone know if they will charge me the new phone replacement if they open up the phone and see that it has been water damaged even if the label did not turn color? Thank you.

I'm sure they *could* detect moisture in there, but most likely, they're just look at the label. I dont see them going into that much detail if the label has not changed color.

I guess if its raining and not sunny outside thats the best option, or you could just come to Cali where am at, set your phone outside in the sun with the back door and battery apart and let the sun dry it out.

But then again I herd rice OR salt helps but I'm not sure which was was the correct one to use.

Put it in a bowl of rice.

rice grains or fully cooked rice?

Rice grains. The moisture in the phone and the heat of the battery might make it fully cooked rice if you leave it long enough. lol

I think I saw a chef do that at benihana's

uncooked rice!

not salt, do not put it in salt. water and salt is very corrosive to electronics. bad idea. I repeat do not put in salt

So now you should fully appreciated your phone/rice cooker.

they will replace your phone for a shipping fee & all you have to do is give them your phone! but you do have to wait at least 3days to get the phone b/c its still under factory warranty you don't have to pay a deductible! just go to a t-mobile store & they take care of it for you basically!
