Depens they may have water in them if they do get some PCB layer spay on and dry it out, this will only work 50% of the time.<br />avalible from maplin.

Yes, if they have actually been soaked strip them down removing the odd backup battery as you go and wash in de-ionised water (Stuff used to top up car bateries etc, not just boiled !)and dry.

I got a decent digital camera for £6 like that <br /> <img src="smile.gif" border="0">

M8 there blocked because which ever network the phone was purchased on has blocked the fones from using there networks if u wnt to sell them let me know.But i can fix them for you.

How does the network prevent them from being switched on since a phone can be powered-up without a SIM being present and it will not relay its' IMEI unless a SIM is, therefore, unless the is phone being powered-up with a valid SIM (IMSI, Ki etc...) the network will not know it is there <img src="mad.gif" border="0">

The phone is a seperate entity and most can move networks.

I have never heard of phones being 'blocked' to the point of not actually switching on anymore <img src="confused.gif" border="0">

If you look again at my post I never said that the networks prevent the phone from switching on.

Predatas' original post was concerning phones not switching on (Dead).Yes, I see no one had mentioned blocked phones until :

Quote<br />"M8 there blocked because which ever network the phone was purchased on has blocked the fones from using there networks if u wnt to sell them let me know.But i can fix them for you."

Predata was asking how to repair them...

That's why I was a little concerned, just trying to help.
