Hey,
I mistakenly left my samsung galaxy s3 inside my jeans' pocket and put the them in the washing machine. After noticing that, I removed the battery and SIM card, dried the phone and left in on bag with uncooked rice for 24h. I turned it on and then left it for 24h hours more. After those 48h, I turned it on to test it. The phone seems to be working fine with exception for tha battery life which decreased significantly, the camera lens is still wet inside and the phone doesn't recognize the SIM card. The SIM is functional since I've tested in other devices. I took the phone to a repair shop with the hope that a new SIM reader would do the job. The guy there told me that probably a new SIM reader won't fix it since the problem might be in the motherboard. Does anyone had similar problems or knows what the problem might be. I'd very much appreciate your help. Thanks in advance
