    Alright.. In May, my uninsured v3m razor was in the bottom of my backpack.. When I went to the gym, a gatorade opened up and.. well you get the picture.. When I tried it after, nothing worked.. Keypad wouldnt light, screen wouldnt flicker -- even with someone elses battery (BR56). Obviously they couldnt fix it, so I had to go buy a new phone (a cheaper one, I wasnt about ready to drop 200-250 on a razr)...

    So, last night I was pretty fed up with my new phone, so I just decided to test someone elses BR56 batter with my old 'dead' razor. Well... It turned on.. Keypad light up, the front screen activated.. and the "Hellomoto" screen turned on. The only problem is that after about 2 seconds of the "Hellomoto" screen, it turns to a white screen; and after about 2 seconds of that, it flickers back to Hellomoto... Is there someway they can fix this, maybe reinstall the necessary software? I'd love to use my old phone again.

    Provider: US cellular
    Phone: Razr v3m

    If the cause of the problems is liquid damage then reinstalling the software will not correct the problem. There is physical damage to the motherboard.
