The 100% , ULTIMATE way to clean your CDMA

Silly question but someone has to ask - "does it still work?'

If its a Kyocera, throw it away .. you cant get bits for em either. My 19mth old broke the ariel on mine, "sorry mate, cant get em, you gotta buy a new phone" was the answer from about 10 different places.

The missus gave mine the same treatment Willie. My Hyundai CDMA went right through the whole cycle and was turned on immediately after as I was looking forward to a newie. Well bugga me days she fired up and hasn't missed a beat. Our machine must have a real good spin dry.

Ok the best thing you can do is TAKE THE BATTERY OUT! Then pull it apart. It won't dry inside closed up and the longer it sits the more corrosion there is going to be on the tracks on the boards inside. Get some good quality Metholated Spirits and put it in a spray bottle. Then spray Metho librally all over the boards (try not to get the speaker or mic wet with Metho). Then if you have an air compressor blow the crap out of it and get all the metho/water off, let it dry, then do the same again. Once it's dried the second time (should be pretty quick with pure metho and a bit of air, if you don't have an air compressor just let it air dry). Then if you cross your legs the right way and hold your nose, you might be in luck!! ;-)

PS I've done this on one of my phones and my brother (who told me how to do it and is an electronics whizz) has done it to many many phones that have been soaked with success.
I also did it two my rechargable spot light that got drenched when my water tank blew a hose in the car. I just did it this morning actually! The spotlight hasn't worked for about 6months and has just been sitting there, after about 10 minutes drying time it sprung back to life and is still working now!! WOOHOO!.

Give it a go! The sooner the better!

Willie, what a dag :)) Some people will try anything to get a new phone.
Looking on the bright side, at least it wasn't a sat phone. Take the battery and cleaning advice offered here, and have a cold one with a tissue handy whilst awaiting the prognosis.

Willie was it a front loading washer??
I just bought a new hoover front loader & it gets all the muck out of things like remotes for doors that I leave in my pockets...

Perhaps Dr Willie should give it a 'digital examination'.:-)
