I have gotten the red dot indication when being in a hot muggy area for awhile.
Spend a few weeks in New Orleans in the summer months and it just might happen there...Phone still works but everyone runs away from you like you got the plague if you try to do anything with the phone,,, like sell or trade or something....
Keep a can of air (like used on computers) in the closet and next time (let's hope there isn't a next time) but take it apart and blow it out real good, let it dry a day or so before putting the battery back in and trying it...
I have also heard and read about soaking everything in Alcohol and then air drying... It is supposed to replace the water and it won't corrode anything.
I saved my wifes first phone with canned air but a few weeks later the mic wouldn't work. Everything else was fine... I was told it prolly corroded from the water but took some time to do so.......
But then it was a RAZR and you had to baby those, anything make them break.
