Razr Phone in Washing Machine
This morning I accidentally washed my Razr. It was submerged for over an hour, and when I took it out there weren't any scratches or anything broken off. But now it won't turn on. Is there any way I can salvage my phone, or will I have to get a new one? And if I do have to get a new phone, can I somehow use my old SIM card or is that destroyed too?

This happened to me too - I let my phone dry and after about a day it was working. Except, I can't see the screen. I thought it was completely broken until I was outside and noticted that with natural light you can see (good for getting numbers out). I haven't got it fixed yet but learned to deal with it.

I don't know if it's too late, but this is what you're supposed to do when your phone gets wet:
Take off the battery cover and take out the battery. Let the inside of the phone dry out. Take the phone apart as much as you can and let all parts dry out- be sure to turn them upside down, etc in case there's water stored in there.
Wait a day or two and put your phone back together. If it still doesn't work, call Verizon or whatever phone company it is and ask for help.

Give it a couple days to dry out. Also, take out the battery an dry the two seperately.
If your phone still doesn't work, try getting a new one. Say yours stopped working and you;d like to at least get the SIM card transferred to a new phone. There's also a way to transfer just the contacts, and that's probly a not cheaper, like $10.

something like this happened to my cousin where her cellphone wash washed too.she had phone insurance,so she was able to get a new one.and i`m pretty sure that if you go to a phone store [like your company. ex.verizon,cingular.]that they can take the card out and put it in your new phone.good luck.=]
