My cell phone swam in the river with me this weekend and we have been drying it out for a few days now. We placed it in a bag of rice and my bf cleaned the insides (including the motherboard) with alcohol to remove further moisture. My phone turns on now but different parts of it works sometimes. At first I was able to connect to WiFi but wasn't able to get it to connect to Network (so no incoming/outgoing calls or texts). Now it turns on but tells me I have a "Whats App" error and need to update time / date (it is off now) but I can no longer swipe or select options to do a factory reset.
What else can we try? Or is the phone toast? My SD card works great and got all my fantastic pictures and videos from the weekend but haven't been able to do anything else. It becomes overheated when on so now I keep it off but plugged in to charge. Now that it is fully charged I took it apart again and put it back in the bag of rice.
