I dropped my Tmobile Sidekick in a toilet. (Nothing in it i was bending for a tissue.) I pretty much just took out the battery, took off the back, and stuck it in front of a fan for appox. two weeks. I didn't think it would work but one day i put it together and charged it andit worked perfectly fine. Just air it out, give it time. I can't guarantee any time period or if it will work. But if you cant keep it from your mom for a few weeks, i suggest you just admit it. Hope it works!!
