Spilled alcohol on my phone

    I've taken out the sim and the battery and I'm drying everything out on the radiator. But I tried to charge it earlier. Which I now realise I shouldn't have done.Hope it's not fried. Parts of the screen are all blurry bubbly.
    It's a new phone...changed to meteor maybe 3 weeks ago.
    Would they be able to fix it?
    Any tips for saving my poor phone?
    :(

    I spilled water on my phone, took it apart and used a fan set to hot, you could use a hair dryer.

    But, water is probably not as bad as alcohol.

    Hair drier is the way to go. Radiator may have been a really bad idea.

    Leave it somewhere to dry naturally and see what happens. One they get wet they are never the same though, it will have a shorter life span than previously.

    if you hadn't put it on the radiator you might have had a chance but sounds like its knackered to me. meteor won't even look at it because its been moisture damaged. i'm afraid its off to the phone shop for you.

    i recommend insurance in case it happens again. if its a contract phone you can insure it with your network and if its prepay you can insure it if you buy it in carphone warehouse. i don't think any other shops do insurance on prepay phones but i could be wrong

    pure alcohol wouldn't be a problem that's true but alcoholic drinks are about 90% water and they have sugar etc so they're just as bad if not worse
