leave the phone to dry out for a couple of days and try whats below. sadly water damage is often terminal.

there may be a chance that you can get the data via a data cable, but the phone may be completely dead.

you could ask a local phone shop to put it in an ultrasonic bath

Phone dry now and can receive calls I think but both screens have gone.... have data suite and data cable but can't get it to work.

are all the drivers installed?

if so it may be a bit of corrosion on the phones connector.

do you have a bluetooth usb stick?

if you can get the bluetooth to switch on, you may be able to get the data off it

Thanks will try that...................failing that ....any other ideas?

you could try opening it up (if you are brave enough!) and cleaning the lcd connector. when i opened up an e800, i found the flex ribbon difficult to get back into the slot. i have never opened an e530 up, so i dont know how easy it will be
