Dropped my phone in the lake - IzzyJohnson - Jul 19, 2017
Just great. Went out with friends the other day to the lake behind their house and we were messing around in their paddle boat and it fell in! I was able to retrieve it but its been acting funky ever since. So now it finally crapped out on me and it doesnt even turn on :( RIP my S7 😭

Boo. The same thing happened to me back when the iPhone 3gs was poppin. Maybe you could have saved it if you buried it in rice afterwards.

Leave it to dry for a few days, don't chuck it. It might come back to life!
I found an old Ipod in a bush during heavy rain and it didn't turn on. I still kept it and like.. ages later It turned on.

i dropped my phone is a bucket of hot water and disinfectant stuff and it was surprisingly working after. the sound was muffled but after a few hours in rice is was back to regular. i had that phone untill last week when i lost it in my house lol even posted a thread on it.

RIP your phone OP :(
Did it slip from your hands or was it on a surface when it fell in the lake?

i dropped my nokia 320 in the water and it still worked after being in there for 30 minutes
i'm happy my customers can still ring me for their drug desires

You should try putting it in a bag of rice for 1 day.
