Hi All
A few months ago I dropped my fully charged M8 in the sea. It was in there a few minutes before I realised and I was lucky enough to find it in the water.
I couldn't turn it off but I did stick it in a bag of rice for 2 weeks. After that, it wouldn't come on so I went out and bought another cheaper phone (Nokia Lumia 735) to try and see out the 14 months I still had on my contract.
Yesterday my daughter dropped my new phone on a concrete floor and the screen glass has shattered.
I'm still 5 months from my contract renewal point and I haven't been won over by Windows 10 Mobile so I was wondering whether I should try to revive my M8?
It charges up, switches on and makes the right noises but the screen doesn't come on. I can see the back light working though.
Having looked on youtube they appear to be a pain to strip down but I'm willing to give it a go.
Does anyone have any tips on how to revive a phone that has been in the sea and dried out?
Thanks
