> 10. Attempt various drying operations, including hair dryer (all > unsuccessful).
1. Remove battery(ies) immediately. 2. If you can, take as much case / enclosure off as you can. 3. Good clean Christchurch tap water in copious quantities. Otherwise, rinse last with distilled water. 4. Dry at 30�C for several days; the more air flow through difficult to get at areas the better. I wouldn't expect a cell phone to dry in less than a few days unless it was partially disassembled. One of the bad things you can do is to power it up while it's still wet inside somewhere. That's what I'd do, no guarantees of course. The fact that the phone still rang under water indicates that the electronics weren't fried straight away when it was submerged with a battery inside it in nice conductive ion-rich water, so there's a chance.
