What to do after dropping a Nokia 5300 phone in the toilet?
Just this moment i dropped my Nokia 5300 xpress music buzz down the toilet and it cut off.
I tried drying the back of the buzz and the battery with alcohol wet towlets and dried it off with a dry paper towel and then i tried turning it on but it still didnt work.
does anyone have any tips i could use or a solution?

dry it completly and then check if it works after that
let it sit for a even as then try and see if it will work
what you can do is get a hair dryer and try drying it like this,also remove the battery.
did you take the battery out after? cuz water and electricity dont mix if you did that then let it dry out for 3 to 4 days
u could try putting it in front of a small heater or vent.
You can also let it set in rice, rice absorbs the water and it should be fine, and remove the battery, a hair dryer works too!
Immediately stop reading this and take the battery out.
Now that you’ve done that, SOAK the buzz in alcohol, to flush all the dirt and minerals off it (Inside, on the printed circuit board – if you can’t take it apart, drop it in a jar of alcohol and swish it around). then let it dry.
Since you turned it on wet, there’s not much hope, but if you’re lucky not anything was hurt, and the alcohol absorbed all the water. Leave it with no battery for at least 2 days. Then try it.
If you’re friendly with a local cellphone store employee, see if they’ll open it and give it an alcohol bath for you.
Next time, get the battery out as quickly as possible. (I’ve saved dozens of dunked phones, but only 2 that were turned on after being dunked. The current flow causes hurt that shows up days or even weeks later, and the buzz is dead.)
Just let it dry. Be patient. It might take two or three days but it will probably come back to life.
Meanwhile, if you must use alcohol, pour it over a few ice cubes, add a twist of lemon, and drink it.
More than liable, when you tried turning it back on, after not letting it dry out, inside first.
You fried part of the circuit board and the buzz is now dead.
But, take the battery out, leave the battery or back cover off,
Place the buzz, with the battery opening, cover opening facing downward,
And leave the buzz alone for two or three days.
Do not use a hair dryer, you can melt domestic components.
Then place the batter in and try it out, if it still doesn’t work, buy a new cell pnone.
TAKE OUT THE BATTERY! There may be hope, but that depends on if you shorted the thing out…it took two swims and a drop in a glass of soda (long report) before my ol’ buzz died…just let it dry out well…don’t turn it on or plug it in for at least 3 days…and maybe take it to a repair place just to be safe.
