Hi,

Last week, I had my razr v3 through a full washing cycle. I dried it for one day and switched on; amazed - the display came on, searching for network.... registering.... and comes out but never registers to the cingular network. I waited for a couple more days but its still not able to find any network.
Can someone suggest if anything can to be done. I did not yet take it apart.

Thx,
RM

Everyone makes fun of my nokia 3300 because it's big icon_smile.gif one advantage of big phones is the clunk against washer in your pants pocket and you go what's that?? and don't wash your phone as easily. you said the phone works but won't register the network?? I would make srue it's dried completly out and get a new sim card put in it or clean it with I guess a pencil eraser very gently on the contacts. (only as a last resort get a new sim card and make sure they register it to your phone number is what I would suggest) read the previous forums in here search for "wet phone" etc in the search option for the forum here. What I understand what happens if the water doesn't actually ruin the component but leaves behind minerals on the circuit boards and sometimes cleaning of this MIGHT improve the workign condition of the phone..
