water damaged D500 - What can i do

drahcir_2

the battery is almost certainly losing charge quick because the phone is shorting across the chips inside, which will also prob be the cause of no bluetooth etc.
i would still recommend an ultrasonic clean of the pcb
pm me if you cant find anyone local to do it

how much is an ultrasonic clean likely to cost would you imagine?

a repair shop would prob charge about £25
there is no guarentees with this type of work as it depends on the damage that is already done
check your pms

Right, well the only thing im concerned about is whether i could have done some damage to it by using it afterwards. Ive had it on as normal plugged into the charger.

drahcir - check your PMs

As said earlier, advice for anybody in this situation -

don't try it out to see if it works, and hope; the very first thing to do is to remove the battery to prevent short circuits and electrolytic corrosion, then start taking steps to clean and dry it.
