My phone was on the nightstand when a covered cup of water on the nightstand was tipped over in the middle of the night and leaked on the table. The water did not spil directly in phone but the phone was sitting in puddle of water for a while, but not immersed.
I woke up when the phone alarm went off. I picked it up and noticed it was wet but seemed to work ok. Just to be sure I took the battery out and dried it out with a blow dryer and let it sit in the sun for 4 hours. The pink moisture stickers are not pink any more.
I've powered it on and everything in Android works fine, except I can't get a signal, either voice or data: no bars. I figured the SIM was damaged by the water, but I out my SIM in my fiance's Gnex and it works fine. But I put her SIM in my Gnex, and it doesn't work.
Can I assume something with the sim tray got fried? Or is there some sort of programming that got reset so the verizon network won't recognize the phone? I'd rather not have to shell out $100 for an insurance claim, especially since everything on the phone works.. except the network. Thoughts?
