[OT] Samsung Phone Goes through the Wash

Show all headers | View raw

My wife had a Samsung Galaxy A25G, purchased February, 2024.  It went through 
the wash in November, 2024, and wouldn't start up.  I suspect water got in 
through the charging port, one of the side buttons, or the SIM card slot.  It 
was replaced immediately, since it's essential that she has a phone.

I thought I'd try to resurrect the phone and I put it in a Tupperware 
container, and submerged it in dessicant silica gel beads, with the SIM card 
carrier removed.  (Dry Indicating Silica Gel Beads Desiccants (Industry 
Standard 3-5 mm) - Reusable Desiccant Beads Silica Beads(Blue to Pink) - 2 
lbs)

I let it sit for months, but no go.  It won't charge, and of course, it 
cannot be opened.

Before I chuck the phone, I thought I'd ask here if anyone has any 
suggestions.

Thanks.
