Water Damage - Phone works but white screen
It appears my phone has taken some water damage. It stopped working at a party as the screen started to fade...I was a little confused. I thought maybe it just died and needed to be recharged. I got home about 5 hours later and the phone would not work. I realized both sensors were pink and that it must of somehow taken on some water. I ran a fan on it all night, picked up rice in the morning and tried to dry it out.
The phone works thus far from what I can see. The screen is white but the voice activation works, music works, I can place calls, and I can sync it fine on my Mac.
I am wondering if it needs to be dried out more (3 days of drying so far). Am I SOL and need to get a new phone? What if I replace the LCD? I know I am pretty much screwed for warranty so I am trying to figure out my options.
Thanks for any help,
Robb
