| 1359076 | 2013-11-07 21:22:00 | A friend has a Nokia 610 Lumina Cellphone that has stopped working. Well to be more precise only the microphone has become muted and everything else I’m told works. Now it’s still under guarantee, but the repair shop has declared the problem water damage and hence no guarantee. I know most cellphones have an indicator that tells you if the phone has been wet, so what I’d like to know is where it’s hidden in this model phone and what colour it should be. There is a White spot under the battery which looks suspiciously like what I’m looking for but I can’t find out what colour it should be for normal and what colour for water damaged. Anyone any ideas? Google has been of no help. :thanks |

| 1359078 | 2013-11-07 23:56:00 | Thanks Speedy, that link was helpful. Although the phone shown was Motorola and the phone in question is Nokia I have this feeling that the technology may be the same? | B.M. (505) | ||

Although the phone shown was Motorola and the phone in question is Nokia I have this feeling that the technology may be the same? I would doubt that as they are two different companies who have both developed many of their own patents around cell phone technology. |

(www.facebook.com) If it is wet, it looks like some people have had success putting it in a container with dry rice for a few days. As it says for the above: Water Damage Indicator is the sticker below the IMEI sticker on this tray. White indicates no water damage. |
