Hi, I see things like this all the time in my shop, however 99% are totally ruined. You see the instant any water and the printed circuit board and components leads come in contact with water there is an instantaneous chemical reaction, and that alone is bad, bit if the unit is ON, at the time of water contact, current goes all which ways and gets to parts it should not do so normally as it flows through the easier path, the water, this then destroys the delicate IC's inside, and results in a totally wrecked thing. I have stripped them down, cleaned them off, gone over them, even with,some my own, that I have got to, within seconds... but no matter what you do short of replacing every board and device again, it simply isn't a practicable option I am sorry. Sometimes you get lucky, but if ever it gets a proper "Dunking" and water gets to the circuit boards, it usually is a total write off.

the memory card goes in that little slot......... hope this helps..................................

You can try to remove the battery for a couple of minutes. Then put it backt and power it on.

Hello,

there is nothing wrong with your screen, the problem is from the flex that connects your screen to the phone's main board. This flex must have worn out that's why your screen is not displaying.

The problem is common with flip and slide phones. The flex gets worn out as a result of constant opening and close of the flip or slide phone.

I would urge you to replace the flex and I am assuring you that your screen will display again. You might also be lucky to find out that the flex is not well fix, that is, it may have loosed contact.

If you cannot change the flex yourself, maybe you should take the phone to a local repairer within your vicinity, so that the flex can be fixed/replaced.

Good luck.

i need to unlock my g1 and gmail wont let me do it

IF AT ALL POSSABLE TRY TO RESET THE PHONE
