I recently learned that cellphones were not made to go in the washer. It’s bad for their internal operation, and it’s bad for the LCD screen… but it’s probably MOST bad for the battery, which starts to chemically expand and bind itself into the battery well.

I'm a Christ-follower, compelled by my faith toward reason, which points directly toward conservatism. This world's daily onslaught of lunacy offends my intellect and senses, so this is my venue to blow off steam.

My cellphone made it surprisingly well through the wash.
I put it on the charger for a couple of days afterwards to help dry it out. Everything works including the camera. There was a bit of vapor inside for a week or two but now everything has cleared up.
I guess they over-engineer those things. I heard a guy at work tell similar story.
I dunno… I get worried when the battery starts _expanding_! But if it works then who’s to say different? Who’s to say that merely looking at the magnetic media of a problematic floppy doesn’t impart some positive chi? Who’s to say that plugging in an un-keyed CPU 90 degrees off [insert arcing, smoking, and melting] will hamper proper operation at all!?
I’ve had a few cell phones go through the wash.. two made it. The blackjack from Samsung actually did really well.
You know you can wash your keyboard in the dish washer too? I got whipped cream all over my keyboard one day, (had one of those fancy whipped cream dispenser things, the ones with nitrous chargers! lol) and it kinda got messy.
Anyways, good luck next time maybe your cell phone will make it!
I have a few tips for washing a cell phone. First pull out the battery ofcourse, then put it in the water, soap it etc. Next take a hair dryer and make it 100% dry! now you have a clean cellphone again! hope u like it.

Wow, if I had a dollar for as many times that I’ve done this. I’d be mega rich by now lol! But yeh, those internals can get quite nasty if they get wet a girl in my town burned herself.
Unfortunately my friend washed and dried his cell phone. Doesn’t work anymore.
