[QUOTE="mulberry, post: 1164177, member: 127162"] Actually, I got the skin a while ago, applied them the first time without incident. but they had built up alot of dirt/dust/lint around the edges. they needed a good cleaning, as did the phone. to get out all the bubbles and have no dust, you have to spray the shields, your fingers, the scraper etc. and, as the phone was quite dirty, i was careful to just spray the centre of the phone, and then wipe it clean with a dust free cloth. However, when you slide the shield around, and press down with the scraper the excess liquid goes everywhere. I don't think very much seeped in, but still, I was not careful enough, I guess. I live in spain, and have to drive a very long way to get to an apple centre, and when using them in the past I found them... well, inexperienced. I found much more information online and they were surprised when i knew more about the problem (last time) than they did! and with water damage, i'm guessing the waranty won't cover it - though the moisture sensors are not triggered... so maybe they will. if i could avoid going there, I surely would prefer that. I just wondered if anyone knew: 1. about the moisture sensor in the earphone jack - any photos of before after? I've only found photos of the USB connector. 2. could it be something else, just a coincidence, as the moisture sensor has not been triggered. 3. how do i know if the battery is buggered? i'm assuming even a small amount of water would do this? 4. how long do i need to wait before trying to connect again (after sitting in rice bag) someone wrote on another entry that connecting to soon could cause further damage... 5. any helpful suggestions cheers, [/QUOTE]
