I have had my blackberry curve for 13 months, and about a fortnight ago, I spilt a tiny bit of water across the top of the screen, but wiped it off immediately and assumed no damage.
However that evening, after charging the phone, I tried to turn it back on, and the keypad etc lit up, and the red LED light was flashing, as I had messaged, butthe screen would not light up, and I found the only way to see the screen at all, was to find pressure points around the screen which I have to push and hold to enable me to see what is going on.
9 times out of 10, as soon as I let go, it returns to darkness, or a very very dark screen on which I can barely see anything.
Any ideas on how to fix this before I take it to a repair shop?
