Does anyone know that if a cellphone that fell in the bathtub can be repaired? Or is it gone for good?

Ok, well heres the catch!!!! Your cell might have a chance!!! wiat type is it? if it is an lg, then its gone if its a nokia then it might work. I may only be 13 but I work in electronics. If its not a lg or motorola you have a good chance of having it work!!!! if its not them, then I would send it to the company it came from and tell them to dry it out.. and then get a factory reset because without that then your phone will have all memory erased on the phone!!!

P.S. Please leave feedback!!!

It depends...
does it turn on?
can you use it in any way?
I would take it in to the carrier or the store you bought it from adn see what they tell you
if it just dropped in there really wuick it's probably fine but if it sat there for like a minute or 2 it might be damaged
hope it helps

This happened to me more than you know..
In most cases it can be easily fixed. But it does depends how much and how long the cell phone was submerged into the water.
Since it went into the bathtub, all you need to do is to take out all the removable parts of the phone. Like the faceplate cover(s) and the battery as well. SIM card, too [if you have one]. The average time it takes is a few hours. From my experience I took a fan and faced it towards the phone on a flat surface and dried the water out within a day.
However DO NOT put a blowdryer to it, or any other electrical drying objects (fans are OK), which can cause damage from over-heating and can possibly explode.
The most time you want to wait is a few days like what the person below said. If your phone still shows damage from water, you will probably have to contact your service provider or cell phone manufacterer (like Nokia, Motorola, etc).
But know in most cases it can be easily fixed by yourself.
Hope I helped! -Leah

It could be. Depends on how long it was in there.
Take the phone apart and lay it out to dry for about 3-5 days. Put it back together and it just may work.
I dropped my phone in the toilet (IT FELL OUT OF MY BACK POCKET!!) I laid it out to dry for a few days and I put it back together and it worked perfectly fine.
