It took a bath with my 3 year old.
So I dropped my Note 4 in the tub. Instantly pulled it out. maybe in for two second.
I took out the battery and sim card. Then placed it over a heater vent for the night. In the morning I tried and it turns on but the screen in black.
If I call it will ring and since I know where to swipe I can answer it and talk with people.
When powered off and charging the little battery appears on the screen and show the % of the charge. So the screen actually still works.
Now from time to time when I turn it the screen will flash on for less then a half second. Enough for me to see I have text messages.
When I plug it into a PC I get a message saying the usb device has malfunctioned and window is unable to connect to it.
Any ideas on a cheap fix. would rather not buy another phone.
Is this a good question?
