Sending hugs and take care.x

I've washed my phone

So if I go quiet you know why. It will take a while to save for a new one x

Toni'sfriend

Aw, Hidden, tell me you didn't put it in the washing machine!!!!

Hiddenidenity

I did, it already had a broken screen so is definitely dead this time

I'm going to get one of the £10 ones for now so youngests nurse etc can contact me still.

Toni'sfriend

If it's any consolation I've done things like that. Money, my son's driving licence, the key to the safe at work (that was a laugh. It got stuck in the machine and we couldn't open up. Very embarrassing to have to explain that one when people were outside waiting for their pensions).
What are you using just now. Do you have a back up?

missymoo81

Ahhh Hidden in sorry you're having such a rough time at the moment

Hiddenidenity

No back up going to get the £10 one from the supermarket tomorrow but obviously it won't go online. I'm visiting mum's so using the computer while waiting for the smalls x

Toni'sfriend

I see. Wondered how you were managing to post. Don't suppose there's any chance of getting it fixed. As you can see I know absolutely nothing about technology, My son just got me an Iphone - I'm totally clueless. Maybe Uncanny Scot could give you some advice. He's good with these sort of things,

phones can be dried out sometimes.

the key is NEVER force dry, using heat, its time and room heat only.

i bought a bag of those small bags of silicone dessicant that you get in electronics, 100 of em for about £9 i think, 1 or 2 grammes each, and they can hold ten times their weight in moisture. and when they are full up, the oven on a low heat or a hair dryer can dry them out for re-use again and again.
similarly, i always keep a couple in my digital camera bag, because moisture and lens do not mix, and it a handy tip for anyone, if you come across any of these, keep em with a camera.

saved one phone and a sat nav.

rice can also work, but its 50 50, where as the silicone has saved things after the rice couldnt.
