You can try connecting it to the computer. So you can put the battery in, try to power it on. I know you said it doesn't turn on, but try pressing the power button, and then connecting it to the computer, and see if the computer recognizes the phone, and then you may be able to get some things off it like that.

So that's why I'm saying that if you're close to the Borough Park location, then bring it in as fast as possible.

So, it would depend on how far the water got. So, if it's just the outer shell, then we'll be able to change the shell and the phone will work again. But if it gets to the motherboard, then there wouldn't be anything that we can do to save any of the information.

It's just that when water gets into the phone, the longer you wait, the worse it gets. So, you can try sending it to the Borough Park location. We can see what we can do.

But if it did, then that's going to be it for the phone.

I would say it's very slim that we could make it work again. It's been quite a while, and the fact that it doesn't turn on at all, sometimes the backlight is very dim and it still turns on.

That could mean that maybe it's just the screen, but as I said, the longer it's not open up and check to see if there's water, things can move around and can damage it more.

They haven't given us a grand opening date yet, but it's going to be pretty soon. It seems that they're putting the finishing touches on it.

No, they haven't given us where it is yet, because they don't want to tell anybody until it's open.
