My DX can't swim!!

[Spitfire#AC]

My wife dropped her X in the tub. It got a little wet (tub was still filling). Dried it off, it's currently in the bag of rice. It will come on , gets past the Moto symbol, then just shows ?ndy next to a yellow triangle. Any advice to get it working, at least long enough to get her files off it? Thanks,

Let it keep drying in the bag of rice and hope for the best in the morning....

As I pace back and forth waiting for a miracle, I have one question what was your wife doing with the X in the tub?

What files?

Many data/user files created by apps are saved on the SD card. Just buy/borrow/find a micro to standard SD adapter and browse the card via your desktop/laptop.

Or stick the SD card in another phone and use a file manager to view/copy/email the files that way.

Also make sure to take the battery out and keep everything separated in the bag of rice. (battery, battery cover, phone)

Update... left it in the rice bag for a couple hours (pulled battery and sd card). Works great, my guess is the water slashed into the usb port. Anyway, everything works. And what was she doing with it in the tub??? She was filling the tub and dropped the x.
She's addicted to some word search game, and yes she plays it in the bath (big whirlpool tub). I like my Droid, but I know when to put it down and relax. Thanks for the advice everyone.
