Post by: Cerveza mas fina on October 01, 2012, 03:32:03 PM: Its been in rice for like 24 hours now, and no banana.

Maybe wholegrain is not the way to go, and it wants some basmati.

Post by: MrAngryFace on October 01, 2012, 03:42:08 PM: THE INTERNET says 3 days to wait for it to dry in a warm/hot place

"Allow your phone to sit someplace that's warm but not hot and dry for three days."

Post by: Cerveza mas fina on October 01, 2012, 03:52:03 PM: No... It wasn't even me that made it wet :-\

It wasn't even that wet thats the strange thing. Maybe it just got into the wrong cracks.

Ca3SiO5 + H2O → (CaO)·(SiO2)·(H2O)(gel) + Ca(OH)2

:P

Voila; no more unbound water.
