so for what ever reason.. as I was peeing last night I was holding phone (had a few to many drinks) and naturally it fell in the toilet...
Its a samsung s3. I then of course did the worst thing possible and kept trying to turn it on etc etc.

Its sitting in some rice atm which will apparently get rid of the moisture. Anyways.. when I turn it on the screen works for abit, flashes, works.. then goes a wierd purple color which blank lines everywhere, then if you touch again it works and basically repeats cycle. Also the 2 buttons at the bottom don't seem to work anymore either.

The screen going purple is the part the concerns me.. i don't think a little bit of water damage that could dry can cause that ? I would imagine something is probably majorly screwed right ?

I'll take it to a repair place on tuesday but they are going to know its water damaged Sad

Would it hurt to try dissemble it a little and spray contact cleaner basically everywhere ?? I know they have water damage stickers they will have activated so its to late for that, but would the contact cleaner make things worse ?
