Default Blackberry Curve 9300 Wont turn on!!

Please Login to Remove!

Hi all
I have a Blackberry Curve 9300 on Sunday my little boy decided it would be funny to try and drop my BB into a glass of orange squash I stopped him but ended up knocking the glass over and a very small amount of liquid went into the BB I picked it up straightaway and it was working fine, my wife was even using it to surf internet later in evening!

Now I did set up automatic turning on and off at set times and it seems that it went off as usual on Sun night but hasnt turned on since, all I get is the solid red light for about 30 secs then it goes off and then comes on again but it doesnt fire up, I have installed the desktop etc and tried to install updates etc but it wont recognise it.

Can anyone let me know options please, is it knackered? what p's me off is that it was in a very small amount of liquid for like 2 secs and it seems broken, not very impressed with BB if thats how there phones react to small amount of water seriously if it was in my pocket and it rained hard it prob would of got more wet!

Try this: pull the battery out, wait 30 seconds, press the power button to make sure all power is drained. Wipe the battery contacts with a clean cloth and check the battery contacts on the phone. Make sure the battery is fully charged. Blow on the battery contacts inside the phone to make sure there is no remaining dust and reinstall the battery.

This has worked for me in the past.

Got Your BlackBerry Wet? - BlackBerryFAQ

That's the accepted way for drying out a BB. Once it is turned on and liquid has gotten inside, the damage has been done.
