Hi,

during the last holiday we got into a thunderstorm with a lot of rain and hail..

I had only an umbrella that couldnt do nothing and I got completely wet, my galaxy i7500 too

But it didnt switch off.. It just went crazy, it was like all the buttons were being pushed one after each other, camera, menu to switch off, etc..

Then I managed to turn it off... I left it drying for some time and turn it again, it boots normally untill a new menu appears, "fastboot mode".. you get in there by pressing the green and red button (to open/hang out calls)

It always goes there when I turn it on.. I guess the keyboard went crazy, maybe a short circuit or something similar..

what do you suggest to do?
 
Ok, I managed to enter into the recovery mode

Ps: in this menu the keyboard seems to work properly!
I tried to check the filesystem and fix the packages permissions and then reboot, but it always shows the fastboot mode menu
