mobile in washing machine

[pollyp00]

i've just washed my daughters jacket to find her mobile was in the pocket, have taken the battery and sim card out, will it dry out ok or is that ready for the bin?dont she will be too happy

try putting it in the airing cupboard, i did the same to mine and it dried ok, but dont hold your breath! good luck

[pollyp00]

thanks for that, will try it,

Sounds daft but put it in a bag of rice it will
absorb the water hope this works

the problem is the power and the washing powder

you've removed the power .... if the rinse cycle is efficient you could well be ok

don't be tempted to keep trying .... let it get good and dry first

I did similar (dropped it down the loo!!) and I am afraid it never worked again. However I was able to put the sim card into a new phone and managed to retrieve most of my numbers - good luck!!

And if she moans too much just say you wont do any more of her washing!!

A batty woman I know successfully salvaged her phone after washing it in the machine. Likewise her cat. In both cases she was alerted to something banging on spin!!!!!

No. I only wash money!

It took my Nokia 4 days to dry out after dropping it in the loo. Took it apart as much as poss, & put it somewhere dry & warm. That was 31/2 yrs ago & it still works fine.

You may get lucky pollyp00

I sure did. I dropped my phone in the Church Graveyard, found it three days later; it had been in the frost, rain and severe cold. Charged it for twenty-four hours and it has been working ever since.

However, severe cold reduces the life expectancy of any battery pack, so I am expecting to have to replace it sooner than normally would be expected.

Best of British Luck!
