right lads, yesterday my phone got wet...so now some of the keypad buttons don't work, of course the main ones that i need, never the ones i hardly need!
so, any ideas? its seems to be dry, not wet. i have ran out of ideas.

Take the battery, sim card out and take off all the covers you can, then just leave it some where warm and dry for an afternoon or something. As long as there is no power then you won't get a problem with things short circuiting in the wet. Really you need to do this as soon as you get it wet, otherwise you might make some permanent damage, but you might still be OK.

I hope you took the battery out first! :? because they're not suppose to be subjected to a high temperature. |

Yeah, that's it, leave it for 24 hours under a 60watt lightbulb (on obviously). Saw a great article on it on the gadget show once. |
