Sidekick 2 Help! Please!

Hey guys..Nice forum here first off.. Imma get straight to the point. Sidekick fell into a toilet. I fished it out and it performed a shutdown on its own. Waited 10 min and attempted to turn it back on. It turned on fine however, it started tweaking out. It vibrated unctrollably and it shut off. I decided to let the phone sit in and dry up on its own. Its been 2 days and I'm assuming its dry. Placed it on the charger, and nothing. Tried turning it on and nothing. If anyones had this problem please give me some advice on what to do! I've only had it for a month! Thanks Guys!

probably fried something when you tried to turn it on before it completely dried. ur best bet is to tell tmobile, theyll charge you 100 and send you a refurbrished one.

yeah best bet is to use the 1 year warrenty.. don't tell them you dropped it in the toilet lol.. just let the know your phone ain't working and stuff and they'll do the trade it. it might cost u some though, but im not sure, only 1 month you've had it so...

They'll know he dropped it in the toilet when he returns it, and that would be fraud if he didn't tell the truth.

I think we're saying to tell T-Mo it got wet, but perhaps in a more dignified manner such as a hot tub full of Perrier

Yes, but the thing is I'm pretty sure the warranty doesn't cover water damage to phones. I remember hearing that.

ohhh water damage... a warrantys best enemy..

right, it isnt covered by warranty but like i said, tell tmobile it got wet, theyll send you a refurbrished one and theyll charge you 100, trust me it happend to me. now im jus buying dead/old sidekicks and screwing with them (painting, etc) its a hobby now
