[QUOTE="frugalbrutus, post: 1110642, member: 172163"] the heat and the isopropyl alcohol (IPA) are both good ways to displace the water. It sounds radical, but you could take the back off and liberally q-tip the IPA onto all the circuits and flex cables and connectors. Then place it in front of warm moving air (furnace vent, hair dryer). Even more radical, dunk all the electronics (but probably NOT the screen and cameras) into a bowl of IPA. Or, try putting the phone into the oven at about 140F for a half hour, then in front of cooler moving air. Again, the heat may be bad for the screen and cameras... Good luck, let us know what you try, and whether or not anything works. [/QUOTE]
