Just want to add this ongoing anecdote. My 15 year old son's Samsung phone has now been through our Maytag washer's full cycle 3 times and through the dryer at least once. We put it in the sun or toaster oven for an hour and it starts working again 100%. Just ordered a new battery for it as the family tries to wait out our commitment to our wireless carrier for another 6 months.
