The other day, my wife managed to run her cell phone, (a simple Jitterbug flip
phone I got her so she has a phone on her when she goes out) through the washing
machine while washing her pocketbook. She gave it to me to look at and of course
it wasn't working. I took the battery out of it and let it sit a few days and
just put the battery back in and it started up, but it needed to be charged,
which I'm doing right now. However, several days later and I can still see water
or moisture behind the outside screen where all the data shows up when I flip it
open. Is there a safe way to dry this up? Obviously. I can't take the screen
off. Thanks.

Stick it in a jar full or rice, or any other handy desiccant.
