Verizon replacing wet cell phones??

I accidentally left my mobile (a chocolate) in my pant pocket and it went into the washer. Yesterday, the screen was goggy, but when i charged my phone, illumination came on the touch pad. Now, nothings happening.

What can i dry it with?? will it work after i dry it??

Most importantly, will verizon replace my phone?? What if I said that I dont know what happened to it and it just stopped working?

I know thats low, but I already had a phone once that went into the washer. This is my second time!!! I cant have my parents pay for it again!! They most liable wont. Delight help!!!!
OKAY, i see the red dot, is there anyway for me to get it white? Are there supposed to be x’s on it??? If so, how??

I want to be sure to get this right

ummm. u can try putting it into a bag of rice…. but i dropped mine in a puddle or like 1 and it broke forgood. unless… do u have the insurance for like 5 dollars amonth? if u don’t well…. um too terrible. and no it won’t doubtless work.you can see if there is water hurt if u look on the battery or the inside of the phone everywhere the battery is and there should be a dot if it is pink then hteres water hurt but if no then replace battery. it. if not go to a verizon center and question but u proably won’t get a free fone… u’ll have to get a new cell phone at full retal price which is expensive. sorry about ur fone… u can also try a hair dryer. omg its ur second time. i’d also suggest u get a case and wear it on ur belt loop OH Well. sorry bout ur fone and u having to spend LOTS of cash.

If you have insurance on the phone, verizon will replace it if you pay your deductible.

As for making something up, there is only one way your tale would glide. Take off your battery and you should see a tiny sticker dot on the phone everywhere you battery used to be. If it’s pink, then they will know it has water hurt and will not replace it. If it’s white with small x’s, then your tale might work.

The rice should work.

Time is a factor there though.

No, the won’t replace it. In fact if you look around the FCC sticker on the inside of your phone under the battery you’ll now see a red dot (It used to be white) that lets them know it was water hurt. Even if you had the insurance it would be voided due to that small red dot.

Just let it dry (COMPLETELY) whatever you do don’t plug it in in anticipation of it is completely dry or you might small-circuit it. Place it in a bowl of rice to make it dry quicker. No phone warranties take in water hurt.

What globe said is really incorrect.

Verizon technically can only replace phones if there is a manufacture defect with the phone. If you hurt your phone in some way, the only way to get it replaced is through insurance.

Insurance covers if your phone is lost , stolen, hurt, or gets wet. They will charge you a $ 50 deductable, and ship you a replacement phone.

In your situation, thats the only way to get another phone. As far as repairing it, electronics and water simply dont mix. There really isnt a special way to tell you how to fix it, it may work if it dries out completly, but chances are, doubtless not.

Just contact verizon for the insurance phone digit, and you’ll be all set.

Give your answer to this question below!

I can hear noises from most electronics. You name it. It’s nearly like I just feel it because it so high pitched. It gives me headaches sometimes if the noise is lower pitched than the higher ones.
Set alight bulbs.
My laptop.
My cell phone.
My cell phone charger.
Televisions.
Monitors.
iPod/iPad charger.
iPad.

The noise is very high pitched. No one in my family can hear these noises. I am nearly 17 being ancient and my younger sisters (who are teenagers) do not hear these noises so I don’t reckon it is an age issue (although my parents don’t hear them).
I can especially hear a television when it is not on a channel at all (like a blue screen before you turn on dvd player, xbox, etc) One time I tracked down a tv that was on in my elementary school because I could hear a high pitched noise coming from the blank screen (that was turned on).
I also can hear my iPad when I wake it from sleep mode. When the screen turns on I hear that high pitched noise.
When I turn on certain set alight bulbs in my house, I hear that noise.
When I plug in my phone or iPod/Pad to charge, I hear that noise.

Could someone clarify what is I hear and why I seem to be the only one that hears these noises?

PS As I type this I can hear a high pitched noise coming from my MacBook.

People, don’t blame the Apple products. I hear it everywhere.

Are you rich? Anyways it can possible be tinnitus. Or you just have extremely sensitive ears.

Answer by Sullivan
Everything you mention includes a high frequency oscillator. Either in a switching power supply, or the “inverter” for the backlight for an LCD show. Both, in a few cases.

I had something similar when I was younger. We didn’t have fluorescent LCD backlights, CFL lamps, or switching power supplies then, but I could hear not only CRT TVs (which at 15734 or 15750 Hz are within normal hearing range, at least for young folks) but also “ultrasonic” burglar alarms, which run at 40 kHz and above. There were a lot of stores I really didn’t want to go into as a result of the latter.

It IS partly age-related, because everyone loses some of their high freq hearing as they get grown-up. Though there is more to it: A few people do seem to be able to perceive what would naturally be supersonic sounds – sounds higher in frequency than the normal range of human hearing (which is usually assumed to stop at around 20 kHz when you’re young). You’re basically hearing a subharmonic of the right frequency.

There isn’t a thing you can do about it, unless you want to go live with the Amish.

The excellent news is that your sensitivity to these sounds will diminish as you get grown-up.

n.b.: I know of people who have tried to cure this by intentionally damaging their hearing via very loud sounds. The attempt has nearly always backfired, resulting in more hearing loss than wanted, and also resulting in tinnitus – then they hear “ringing in the ears” ALL the time. Don’t do this.
