Hi there-
Don't know if anyone can help but its worth a shot..
my new nokia slide phone has been water damaged and although it seems to charge up ok the buttons don't all work.. (when you press '8', '78' comes up instead).
I have sold damaged cameras on ebay before and heard that you can do the same with phones. I was just wondering in people have any suggestions as to how to get all the numbers off it. They are saved to the phone, not the sim. I would rather not sell it with all the numbers on there.. my friends may be pretty mad!
Anyone done this or have any suggestions?
Thanks!

How long since it was water damaged? It can take a long time for water to get out of confined places such as a membrane keypad. If you leave it in a warm airing cupboard for a few days, you may find that the keypad will work normally again.0

worth a go....somewhere warm with a bowl of rice (soaked up all the moisture) worked a treat for me..We all die. The goal isn't to live forever, the goal is to create something that will0 -
