AC Question
Hi,
I have a one year old S3.
Dropped it in the (clean) toilet last night. Dried it off - looked ok, so carried on using it... even left it charging overnight with the back cover off.
This morning it went funny - wouldn't work properly... screen has now gone black and blotchy.
I didn't know at that point that I shouldn't have used it... :-(
I can hear key presses, but can't see the screen to see where the keys are.
I have now dismantled it, put the parts immersed in rice in a sealed Tupperware box on top of a radiator, and am waiting...
The questions are:
Is it ok to leave the box on top of a warm radiator?
How long do I wait?
Is there a possibility that is will save itself, or have I already damaged it too much?
If it doesn't save itself, will I be able to get the data off via a usb to my laptop?
Will I be able to retrieve saved WhatsApp conversations?
Do these phones automatically save data to the phone or the sim?
I'm so upset. A year of memories and all my contacts are in that phone. I'm now understanding why downloading photos etc is a good idea!
Thank you!!!!!
