my beloved mobile fone?


It was the dead of night and KalamityKel was happily swimming around in her lovely luxurious bath... the time came to grab a towel and climb out (or rather pulling the plug and waiting for the water to drain before opening the door - yes I have a posh bath!) and in doing so somehow managed to knock fone AND book into the bath. Upon rescuing both objects (surprisingly the book didnt get too wet) my little fone suffered a fair drowning. I stripped it of all its important bits - battery, sim etc, towelled it off and left it to dry by the side for a while before attempting cpr...

After a while I thought I'd check out the damage. Inserted various bits back into it. I tell you it was trying to speak to me - the flash kept flashing and the vibrating motor kept well, vibrating. Then, sadly all light and life went out of it. No, aside from me cursing the loss of some very important info on the thing I decided to be sensible about all of this. It was obviously too soon to turn it off... I'd try again later...


Left it a few hours (I couldnt sleep through the worry!) tried it again and ooooo it came back to life... altho some of the buttons were slow to respond. Mind at rest I went to sleep.

This morning brings a different story. :( the keypad now refuses to respond to my touch (I know theres always a first!).


Is this the end?

Is there anyway I can rescue the information stored on it? It a Samsung D600 with loads of leads and stuff used for downloading and such but can I plug in various bits wivout have to use the keypad for navigation?


I'm so heart broken here :(

Another suggestion or two for getting outthe last bits of moisture is to put it on a radiator or in an airing cupboard.


although, time is of the essence ith these methods. However, you have nothing to lose.


I have dropped five phones down the toilet (don't ask what I was doing), and one in a pint, and they have surviived thanks to these methods.

Ive had a similar problem but not quite the same level of drowning I fear but I took it apart and used a hairdryer which got rid of any last moisture.. It then worked for quite a while but I did end up having to replace it but it gave me a chance to get all of my important stuff of it..
Dropped one of mine in a pub loo last year (don't ask) and after about a week of problems it eventually died a slow and probably very painful death. I took it back to the shop and they managed to save all my data. I take it you're on contract and insured? If so just get an upgrade and it won't cost you a penny.

The cistern is the ledgy bit at the top where you put the crocheted lady with the extra toilet role up her bum.

    • Nothing to do with the tories overspending whatsoever eh! Blame the last 10/11 years of blatant mismanagement, incompetence and willful deceit on the poor bastards that were left with the fall out of a complete car crash tory government.   One PM after another falling on their sword. Open corruption and piss taking throughout covid and a legacy of huge debt and destruction yet in your view it will be labour's 4 years in power that bankrupts us in 2029.  Another one that must think people are blind and stupid.  Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃
    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
