I did the stupidest thing possible yesterday and dropped my desire into a cup of tea.
Only had my phone 3 weeks, can't believe it. Only the bottom quarter of the phone was submerged and I took it out in seconds.
I shook most of the tea out and attempted to dry it with a hair dryer on cool setting. However most of the liquid went inside the area which you can't get at unless you unscrew it (which will completely void the warranty).
Ive been drying it out the best I can in an airing cupboard, but have done the stupid thing and attempted to turn my phone on as I needed it urgently to make a call.
The phone worked but got really hot and the power button no longer works. I quickly shut the phone down.. but I now realise I never should have turned it on at all. This morning I can't even get it past the HTC screen.
The 2 water damage stickers on the battery and phone which I can find are both still white, so Im unsure as to whether I could attempt to return it to Phones for You as they have a 28 days returns policy, and claim the phone is faulty.
I haven't got phone insurance.
Any advice?
