if the phone was off at the time it entered the water, and you have yet to turn it back on, then yes. but if you attempted to turn it on when it was still wet, then it is most likely junk. if it is wet with an electrically contuctive liquid such as water, and you supply power to the circuits then you most likely have fried it because of the water acting like a short between to separate lines. my advice if the above has yet to occur: make sure the battery is off, and let it set near a fan for a day. if that doesn't cure it then you will need to get a new phone (you should also invest in phoine insurance, its worth it!)

This is an anecdote of how I nearly destroyed and then recovered my own Motorola V180. At this chillier time of year here in New England I usually carry my Moto in my fleece jacket's chest pocket. It just so happened that I felt that it was time for this same jacket to be cleaned. I was in a rush to get out the door today and was putting in a load of laundry. In my haste I tossed in the fleece (phone and all) without thinking twice. I didn't realize the unfortunate fate of the phone until I returned more than 4 hours later and searched my room vainly for the phone. I immediately realized what I had done and ran down to the laundry room to recover the remains of my phone. I found it and tried to turn it on. No surprise, it didn't turn on. Now the solution. I took the lens, battery door, battery, and sim card out of the phone and wrapped all of the pieces separately in paper towel. I left them to dry for about an hour. After unwrapping the body of the phone I noticed significant condensation on the inside of the color display. At this point I figured it was a lost cause, then I went online and searched for solutions. Most sites said my phone was irrecoverable especially since I made the dreaded attempt to turn it on. One was an anecdote of soaking his Moto in rubbing alcohol and drying it with a hair dryer returning the phone to normal function. However, I thought that was too risky, so I turned on my electric stove to 200F and let it preheat. Once preheated I turned it off. I laid the phone parts (excluding the sim card) on a foam carrier (like those used to ship meat) and put it on a cookie sheet with wax paper in between to prevent the foam from melting to the pan. I put the whole thing in the oven and left it for 40 minutes. After this I took the kit out and checked it. No sign of condensation. However, I wanted to be thorough, so I preheated the over to 200F and turned it off again, and gave it another 40 minutes (this time I did not put the battery back in the oven). After this I placed the body of the phone in paper towel and allowed it to cool for about 10 minutes. I reassembled the phone and went to turn it on fully expecting it not to work. It worked and still does. I can place calls and receive calls. So far there are no known problems with the phone. Best of luck in recovering your own water logged phone.

If the phone was actually doing something when it got wet (not just in standby but you were actually talking to someone or entering something in the keyboard and dropped it into water or got hosed) or you tried to turn it on, or you left it to dry for a reasonable amount of time and it is not doing anything, it is less likely to be repairable because short circuits may have caused major damage inside. However, it still can't hurt to try to get it to work in any case. If after sitting around for a day or so, the phone powers on but is unresponsive, the backlight is on but the screen is blank or showing garbage etc. it's more likely to be salvageable. Read on reguardless. If your phone gets wet, or any other electrical device for that matter IMMEDIATELY remove the battery! If the battery is not user-serviceable, turn off the phone. remove anything else that is designed to be easily removed (some phones have snap-off faceplates) however don't actually take the phone apart beyond what is user-serviceable (at least, not yet) Dab up any water on the outside, especially on the keyboard and around any other possible entry points (keys on the side, etc.) with a dry cloth or paper towel. DO NOT PUT THE BATTERY BACK IN YET!!!!! Let it dry at least overnight. Best thing to do would be to set it keyboard-side down on something that will absorb water, maybe near a heat source-but you don't want it to get TOO hot! After leaving it alone for a good amount of time, wipe off any battery/ID card connectors if they are still wet, then put the card and battery back in, and try to turn on the phone. If it doesnt work properly or at all, take the battery back out. Give it more time to air out, and if it still doesn't work, there still may be hope. THIS IS A LAST RESORT! Note that the warranty is out the window for accidental damage such as being dropped in the toilet, so ignore any "warranty void if cover is removed" warnings. Yes, we are going to take it apart. If there are any screws on the phone, some may be hidden under stickers, in the battery compartment, etc. If not, look for seams on the side, and carefully use a flathead screwdriver to pry it open. Unfortunately, some phones, especially smaller ones, are not designed for repair-it may not be possible to open it without breaking it beyond repair, which may be intentional :D! Once you've gotten past that, look to see if anything is still wet. If so, wipe it off. Sometimes water may be stuck underneath something, and it won't be obvious. With the phone open, use a hair drier. Be careful not to heat it up to the point of damaging anything. Remove anything that appears easily removable, but don't force anything. Finally, in case the water or whatever the phone got submereged in left any deposits on the boards upon drying out, use a cotton swab with rubbing alcohol to clean everything in sight-even if there's nothing obvious. Rubbing alcohol dries out pretty quickly. Put the phone back together (if you can) and hopefully it will work now.
