Nokia 8800 problem with keypad - GSM-Forum

Hi there can anyone help me?
i dropped my nokia 8800 down the toilet,after i retrieved it,i took everything out and dried it all,at first it wouldnt recognise the sim card but the keypad worked,then a bit later it found the sim card but the keypad stopped working,not 1 key works.
i need to retrieve all the contacts on my phone as i didnt save them to my sim card.
Ive totally dismantled the phone left it all to dry,is there anything else i could do to get it working.

thank you

i cant access bluetooth and the keypads dont work,wat could be the problem?
Do u think a part of the circuit board could be broken?
nay help would be great thank you.

Try first to clean it.Because there is short circuit on board if still change the flex.

i know i sound dumb,whats the flex,is that the membrane thing,will that affect the phone itself,or will it wipe it all?

im not very technical with these things.
again its not regitering the sim and keys worked for a brief time,then when i switched it off,the keys wouldnt work again

is there any way of taking the memory which stores the contacts etc and put it on a nother 8800?,i have a spare 8800 but thats weird,it doesnt charge and it wont save things to my sim.
