Surely your personal time being spent on this is worth more than the cost of a new phone? You already paid $100 for a diver.
The thing will never work right again. Even if you get it to come to life, the battery will be shot.
Already replaced the battery. $6. Just want my photo albums back which google photos does not categorize. They only do it by year

I'm still trying to get my cellphone that sunk in the lake to work again. It's long since been dried out. I took it all apart and broke the screen in the process. Nothing on the board looked shorted out or burnt, but when I plug it into charger nothing happens. I replaced the battery and still doesn't power on or anything. Anyone know if the screen has to be functional in order to power up?
I thought I could at least plug into computer to access the drive but nada.
Don't really want to buy another touch screen unless necessary.

I’m not playin ball with anyone on reddit...I suppose you said “reddit” to put some kind of negative connotation on it...but...It’s literally called facts. The India variant has out competed the b.17 in the uk and is undoubtedly doing the same here. Will our vax rates blunt it? Yes, and especially in New England specifically. But the fact is- nationally- not locally- it’s as dangerous for the unvaccinated as it was during the height of this thing...and will only get more dangerous for those people as time continues. So ya- get your vaccine.

Can show me the numbers on how its as dangerous as the orininal strain? 

Also why would it get more dangerous for unvaccinated people? Ya viruses can mutate to get more deadly but history says they get weaker but more infectious..

And I am about as worried now as I was last March.

Also, it makes zero scientific sense to say things are getting "more dangerous" for the unvaccinated. That isn't really possible given what we can observe is happening with this virus. As more people get vaxxed or gain natural immunity, the number of possible vectors for infection will continue to decline. This virus appears to be following the pattern of getting weaker but more transmissible. That's a good sign it is petering out in terms of the deadly effects.

Not making any claims about being more dangerous- I.e. the variant itself. But certainly more infectious...like no doubt.

Facts are case fatality rate in the u.s. is basically unch. since last year. Just saying...#facts. To each there own. Around here specifically very bullish on being - over Covid. Love it- no masks, kids playing...f-ing love it. But facts ( nationally) remain. Don’t even get me started on looking at this on a scale that matters I.e. globally.

How about the “Trump Virus” since it was our taxpayer money that funded the Wuhan Institute? See what I did there?

Honestly at this pt who cares? We’re still in crisis mgmt mode (globally).  Let’s get everyone in the world a vax that wants one then we can talk about responsibility if it even matters at that point.

no doubt- agree a million % we’re going to be dealing w/ this for a while probs forever. Thank God it’s not like...legit the real deal and we can learn lessons to apply next time. Or not.

Dont really see what ya did there honestly. NIH funded the lab and Fauci runs the lab.

Alot of viruses take the name of where they found. 

West Nile virus, Ebola virus, lyme disease norovirus.

People in lyme conn and norwalk ohio should be up in arms. They have a virus named after them.
