What i did:
Opened back cover and kept it on the car windshield inner side which blows hot air (Defogger) for half hour..
Then put the N900 in rice for 2 weeks.
The spots in LCD also dissappeared..

U could try hair dryer as well.. B sure ther is no vissible water droplets left on the inner side.(possibly dissassemble the N900).. This will prevent any corrossion or layer formation..

At last: Pray! :-)

Follow Estel's advice.
- Remove battery (voltage, even when the device is off, induces corrosion)
- Disassemble as much as you are willing to
- Put in can/bag/anything with silicon gel. Buy the gel if you don't have some, it's not much more expensive than rice, and works much better (because rice is only as dry as the room you kept it in. Silicon freshly regenerated is much much dryer).

rotfl man,
i was reading this thread:

And then i saw this thread title!!

Sorry but i did not get it at first

I have to echo everyone else's advice. Pull the power, seal the device in with a deccicant like rice or the stuff packed with electronic products.

I had dunked my N900 and was worried that I killed it. Fortunately, everything eventually started working again. (It was the cell part that took the longest to come back, but it eventually did.)

Also, I would *not* recommend blowing hot air, no matter of source (dryer, car, whatever). This way, some tiny droplets can be "pushed" under tight elements - like camera module - and corrode them slowly.

Of course, if you *really* have not other options, it's better to use hair dryer than just leave it without any action (and allow corrosion to attack all elements), but seriously, I can't imagine why someone could not go to camera/photo shop, buy some 3$ silicon gel, and save such great (and somehow, expensive - compared to silicon gel) device.

It seems that laziness support corrosion, almost the same factor that keeping voltage input

Hi!

Quite many says that best way to dry N900 is to use Silicon gel. Where I can buy it? From pharmacy? From camera shop?

N900 dropped into the water bowl on Sunday, then I tried to dry it wtih hair dryer and tried to dissassembled it. There's nowhere helpful links how I dissassembly my wife's n900. I tried to unscrew it but got only 4 srews off. The screen is to be removed by some clips but I'm affraid of ruining it.

Urgent help needed!

Regards, Marko

Ya that is what i was thinking "where to buy it"?
