Question Beer accident

Please Login to Remove!

Well my friend spilt beer on my Blackberry Curve 8900 two nights ago, it was a bit glitchy afterwards but after a couple of hours I left it, tried to dry it up as much as I could. Checked it, neither of the buttons work. It can turn on (taking the battery out and putting it back in) I can see that I have unread messages, missed calls, Facebook notifications on my screen but I can't click on them. I can plug my charger in it no problem and it charges, as it shows up on the screen which is a plus but I can't answer my calls when my phone rings. Can't click on anything, doesn't work.

So I am hoping from you lovely people, can help me. I've heard the dry rice procedure, would that work if I try that out? Or taking it all apart and giving the buttons a clean?

I'm in desperate need of help, please. I don't want my BlackBerry gone forever!

It's probably a gonner. You should have removed the battery when the accident happened and left it out until it was completely dried.

Won't hurt to try this, but my guess is it's time to get a new phone.
