Ihave a rumor (LGUX260) and it fell in the toilet. The battery is out and the memory card is too. The white stickers on the phone and battery are both red. What else can I do to fix it without getting another one or calling the insurance?

Tips On Phone That Fell Into Water
The mobile phone like every other electronic gadget has no affinity with water .If for any reason oneâs phone is immersed in water, the following steps could rescue the phone. Time is of essence here. All efforts should be geared towards drying the phone as quickly as possible.
1. Quickly remove the battery .It is very important that no attempt is made to charge the phone while it is still wet for danger of electrocution. One infact should not handle phones with wet hands especially while charging. Besides, water is a good conductor and therefore will circulate and aid system corrosion.
2. Disassemble the phone .If the phone is one that can easily be dismantled ,that should be done quickly ,otherwise it should be taken to a certified technician who will then deploy all the âvacuum drying processesâ or other âmoisture or water evaporation techniques necessary.
If however a technician is not readily available, one should continue with the following steps.
3. Having dismantled the phone as much as possible, the parts should be cleaned with highly concentrated alcohol which should be restricted to the outside parts. The hygroscopic nature of alcohol will be an advantage. While alcohol is still in the air, heat should not be applied.
4. Placing the dismantled phone on the back of a computer monitor or over the heat vents of a TV or any other action that will get warm dry air around the phone is good for recovery.
5. A food dehydrator could be used. Raw rice absorbs moisture. Therefore burying the phone in a bowl of raw rice could do the trick.
6. If one has to use an oven, it should be set at âwarmâ. The battery should not be included because it could explode.
7. A vacuum cleaner could be used to suck what is left of the water by placing affected areas one after the other up to 30 minutes against the sucking effect of the cleaner. This is most effective if the phone is partially or completely dismembered. This is also a much better option than use of fans or hair driers because they tend to force moisture further into parts that will cause malfunction later.
8. Drying the phone in good sunshine for up to 3 days is also a good option.
Both phone and battery should not be placed in a microwave. Apart from damaging the phone, the battery is likely to explode with very possible dangerous outcomes. One may also consider changing the battery.
In some cases, the above steps could get the phone working again. Replacement by your service provider is out of it because once the phone is passed through their system, indicators will show âwater damageâ.
One is aware that there are some âdust resistantâ phones. Phone users are awaiting the arrival of âwater resistantâ phones that are affordable. Manufacturers, get cracking.
YOU COULD ALSO PUT IT IN A JAR OF UNCOOKED RICE *RAW* AND IT WILL ABSORB THE MOISTURE OUT OF THE PHONE... I HOPE THIS HELPED!!! GOOD LUCK!!

Relocating
It's a good idea to set up your tank and let it sit for a week before you anticipate putting Wanda into her new home. This gives the water a chance to dechlorinate and gives the "good" bacteria (we'll talk about this later) a chance to grow. The absolute minimum for tank size is ten gallons; with anything smaller, you will have problems maintaining stable water chemistry and controlling temperature fluctuations.
When Wanda arrives at her new home, she'll be a little apprehensive about the impending switch to new waters. You can ease her fishy qualms by making the transition a gradual one. Float Wanda's bag in the tank for a while to let the temperatures equalize. Then slowly begin adding small amounts of tank water to Wanda's bag; continue for about an hour before you transfer Wanda to her new home. Avoid mixing the old bag water with the new tank water-you can't be sure what kinds of parasites you have brought home in the bag.
If you're planning on having several fish in the tank, don't overcrowd them when starting out. You can add fish to the tank at a rate of one to two fish every one to two weeks. Try not to have more than one inch of fish per gallon of water, and be sure to research the fish you're placing together so they don't eat each other at the first opportunity. Fish that are grouped by their preference for the same water temperature, water type (hard vs. soft), and acidity (or lack thereof) will thank you in the end by living the longest.
Cleaning conditions
Fish get used to the condition of the water they are living in. If you change all the water at once, the shock of an "extra clean" environment may be too much, and you might find your scaly pal doing the dead man's float. Cleaning overzealously will remove most of the "good" bacteria that Wanda needs to live. Good bacteria breaks down waste and toxins such as ammonia into relatively harmless nitrates. It needs time to grow so it can effectively clean the toxins in the tank.
When it's time for your weekly water change, remove only one-third of the water to ensure you're not drastically altering the water chemistry. Never use soap of any kind when you clean Wanda's home. Although detergents are great for human habitats, Wanda will show her displeasure by floating belly up. After removing the water, replace it with dechlorinated water the same temperature as the water in the tank. About once a week you can "vacuum" the gravel (gravel vacuums are available at the pet store) to remove food and other debris that settles at the bottom.
Gadgets for the tank
To heat or not to heat? Whether you will want to invest in a heater depends on where you live and what types of fish you have. Generally, goldfish and koi do not need a heater. But you will need a heater for any fish requiring water that is warmer than the natural room temperature. Heaters often fail, so invest in a heater of good quality and monitor the tank daily to avoid cooked or frozen fish.
An air pump is generally deemed a good thing: It helps avoid thermal layering, prevents film from forming on the top of the water (which inhibits the carbon dioxide/oxygen exchange), and it helps the good bacteria to grow. It is also a good idea to include foliage, rocks, or another type of cover. Although this really depends on the fish, most fish will strongly appreciate the chance to get out of sight.
You will need a filter for your tank as well, and a good one usually comprises the three types (biological, mechanical, chemical) available. At the very least, a biological filter is necessary as it helps break down the nitrites and ammonia into the more benign nitrates. All filters need to be cleaned regularly.
Lighting may also be necessary-most fish don't like bright lights, and the light in the room during the day is usually enough to keep fish active. If you do decide you want to light up Wanda's world, don't use an incandescent bulb. They're too hot. Fluorescent bulbs generally fit inside a tank's hood, which also comes in handy in keeping Wanda from jumping out.
Feed me!
Remember the Dr. Seuss book about the fish who was overfed? Although you probably won't wake up with a gigantic fish on your staircase, overfeeding can lead to health problems. Feed your fish only as much as they can eat in about three minutes, and then feed them that amount one to two times per day. Although they look like they are still hungry, much of the food will fall to the bottom of the tank. When this food is left to decompose it leads to problems with water cleanliness.
Variety is the spice of life, and your fish wants a piece of the action. Think of fish flakes as you would rice: okay as a staple, but awfully boring day in and day out. Just as you would add veggies or meat to your rice dish, add live worms as well as frozen and freeze-dried foods to your fish's diet. But be careful! Fish can get fat, and if you feed Wanda an excess of protein-rich foods such as bloodworms, you'll have a happy but fat fish on your hands. Beware of flake food that is old or has been left open and become damp-it will have less nutritional value.
Fish stress
Although they don't ever have to deal with rush-hour traffic, fish do suffer from stress. Increased stress inhibits your fish's ability to heal and to ward off parasites and disease. And as with humans, the less stress on a fish, the happier they are with life. The causes of fish stress are varied (see Fish Stressors, below) but the main stressors involve the condition of the water. Signs that Wanda is suffering are a lack of appetite, gasping for oxygen, staying hidden continuously, or wounds that don't heal.
But in order to see the signs that your fish may be suffering, you will need to spend a little time each day observing Wanda's behavior. Get to know the behaviors of the different fish you have so you will be able to tell when something is amiss. While you are monitoring your fish, check the tank, its filter, air pump, and any other gadgets you have installed to ensure they are working properly. Besides that, watching your fish is relaxing and just may lower your blood pressure. All the more reason to find yourself a fish, and call her Wanda.
