Last Wednesday, my wife's 2 week-old blackberry curve took a dip in the toilet. She made sure to wash it out really well and then handed it to me to fix. I took out the battery and let it dry out for a couple of days, but it still didn't turn on. Sunday night, I read this thread and saw the part about the rice. I saw another post saying to use rice and the heat from the satellite receiver.

I followed the take apart directions on YouTube: YouTube - Blackberry Curve 8300 Screen Removal & Take Apart

Then I stuck everything in a tupperware container with rice in the bottom and set it on top of my satellite receiver for 2 days. I just reassembled the blackberry, stuck in the battery, and voila. It's working again! Thanks for your help!
