Gave up on Dominic's cell phone
I don't know if it could be salvaged or not, but after we tried to dry Dominic's phone after he put it in the laundry, the screen would come on but give the error that he was not using a genuine battery. His phone uses the same battery as Dan's old phone, so I switched out the batteries and got the same error. We just decided it was easier to activate Dan's old phone on Dominic's number rather than doing anything further with the other phone, especially anything that might cost money. Dan's old phone isn't in good enough shape to be worth selling, and the New Every Two thing comes up mid-June so we can get a new phone at that point.

If it is an LG phone, we found out they are VERY susceptible to even a few drops of moisture. The same thing happened to Lise's phone, and swapping for my battery gave a different error message, but same result. I took it in and got a new phone for free, actually.

It's an LG VX8300. It's almost at the end of its 2 year life expectancy, though, so I doubt they'd replace it for us. He can use Dan's old VXC8100 until June when we get the replacement.

Yup, ours are 8350's. We'll buy from another manufacturer next time.
