My blackberry bold fell in the toilet yesterday. I left it in rice overnight and have yet to go check on it. I’m in agony without it and don’t know how much longer I can leave it for…

My son tokk my Blackberry Bold and immersed it in a bucket of water. When I took it from him the srcreen was on and them it went blank but the power light remained on. I then took out the battery and dried it up and left it there. Will it work again if i put in the rice and assemble it after 2 days?

i have a white blackberry curve 9300, today i dropped it in a puddle while i was walking out to get the mail, i picked it up and i ran inside, and started to freak out, i watched a video on how to take it apart and i only got the piece at the bottom off underneath the keys, after this i sat it up on the side of a bowl and i put tons of rice on it, just before i put it in the rice i turned it on, the screen worked perfectly fine and the vibrate worked to, but it asked me to put in my password and i typed it in and it was saying wrong password, i came to realize that most of the keys work but some must not, any suggestions on what i should do????

I aca=identally knocked over some hot chocolate and some of it spilt on my friends bag. In her bag was her blackberry. She just wiped it and it was fine. About 5 minutes later the top of the screen went funny. Then she switched it off and on again and the screen went white. The message light was still on. We dried everything (the battery, the sim card… etc) but it still didnt work. But the thing is she tried phoning her mum and it still worked. so we think some hot chocolate is stuck behind the sceen. My friend phoned her as well and she could pick up and everything. I feel so guilty. What should we do?????? please help!

I would, Charlotte. Make sure to remove the battery. The damage to the BlackBerry comes from the water that gets into the circuit boards.

I’ve had my blackberry for exactly 3 weeks! I just dropped it in the toilet? Should i put it in the rice? The thing is it actually looks quite dry? Is it just that its wet underneath?

Mine just got wet.. I left it under my pillow for a week without the battery n it works but wen I went to the company i bought it from they opened it up n took a pic of how much water was in it.. I was rlly shocked. They said that it’ll work but I need to get it checked? Coz they can’t fix it because it was my fault not theirs.. It work n the scroll works but it doesn’t click… Some how i can use my ‘back’ button as the ‘click’ button but I’m just worried if it will stop working? I’ve had my bberry cube for about 8 months but I changed it twice n so I’ve had my current one for about 3 – 4 months.. If I use the rice technique wud it work? It’s been a month since I’ve used it..
I’ve heard of that technique before but apparently it does not always work? But im just wondering what should i do and it has been a month and I only just found out today that there was water in it, they said they removed as much as they could so would the rice technique work for me?
I know that this didn’t really make sense but please help me!!!
