My LG Voyager got wet..?
I dropped it in the sink (full with water) about an hour ago. I blowdried it for about 15 seconds lightly and shook all the water out. I tried turning it on and the first time it kept vibrating till i took out the battery. The second third and fourth nothing happened. I took out the battery and shook it again and a couple more drops came out, i tried again and it turned on but the screens all funky. Right now my phone and its battery (not attached) are in rice. The screen is all messed up, and im not going to re turn it on becuase i know it might short circut.
Is there anything i can do to fix my phone!?!?

Keep it in the rice and dry it for another 15 minutes each day. There is no guarantee this will fix it but I have seen it work many many times. I had a friend jump in a lake with his phone in his pocket. After 4 days of rice and drying the phone works completely fine.
Try turning on the phone only once each day just to check progress. If it still doesn't work put it back in the rice. This can take any where up to a week. If it's still not working after a week and a half you might be out of luck. But hopefully it will work for you.

You need to try Silica Gel Packets. There was a good article on iphoneatlas.com that had lots of good reviews about how to dry a wet cell phones, iPods, etc. You need to place your cell phone in a zip lock bag with Silica Gel Packets. Silica Gel will remove all the moisture from the phone and its components, something air drying will not do!
Just Google "Silica Gel Packets" and you will find several companies selling these products. There is also a web site called: http://www.silicagelpackets.com/ that has them.

be sure that's grew to become off. Take out the battery and sim veeeeery intently. Tip the now empty telephone to get rid of any extra water. enable them to all dry evidently-blowdrying ought to wreck them. i could recommend leaving them for a minimum of 24 hours. while they're completely dry, reinsert the sim and battery and attempt turning it on. If no longer you're able to wish a sparkling telephone..my chum dropped hers in a river and it took us an hour to fish out with our ft. she tried to dry it yet no use-it replaced into ineffective. that's purely as little bit of rain nevertheless..it won't have the ability to be that undesirable astonishing? :)arms crossed xx

Water damage is not something you can reverse or fix. Hopefully you have insurance on your phone otherwise you're pretty much s.o.l...
