Spilled soup ruined my phone

I was auto logged to a Twitter account with 1100 followers while my tablet is auto logged to an account with 58 followers. So I have no access to the phone account as I used different e-mail.

Last night I spilled some soup where my phone was that sat there all night now I cleaned it out but it has all those redmarks so it looks ruined but I hope it dries out and work again.

And DO NOT turn it on for a couple of days, leave it in the rice!

Might be too late for that, if you have run it for long with moisture in it.

The bad thing about soup, is that it has salt in it, bad mojo if it has been turned on.

Good luck!

in dry, uncooked rice.

Works great at absorbing unseen moisture. I've saved more than one phone for my kids that way.

Following your advice now it wouldn't turn on or charge so hoping this works.

...and of course a 14 yr old is NOT gonna stick her hand in the poopy toilet water to get it. We may have saved it if we got it out in time to put it in rice. Grandpa bought her a brand new one.
