Stick it in a ziplock with a bunch of uncooked rice and give it a day or two. If you are lucky it will come back to life.

I have three kiddos to, and college is expensive. I see guys sitting in my seat not being able to afford that in their 50's. Kind of discouraging.

I do agree, the ppl here are awesome. Don't know any double breasted ............ :D

I'd look on the internet and get the dis assembly gouge, or take it to any local mall that has fix it guru.

Or just go buy an Andriod phone and marvel in the 21st Century. Really. Spent some time with an iPhone recently, it's about as cutting edge as Debbie Gibson.

Don't know if you heard, Windows is launching a Google Glass copy:

Thanks guys, I'll try the rice. It got really hot, almost too hot to touch. We'll see what happens

This advice might be too late but do not try to turn it on for at least two days.

I ditched my iPhone 4 for a Samsung Galaxy Note. Very happy so far! :)

buzz, I surely hope you dont have to leave but I'd understand.

The pilots seem to understand, but does it bother the company that a lot of their pilots are looking elsewhere? Sounds like the fellas in Flight Ops might care but they also seem not to have much pull in the big scheme of things.

Maybe some of the 'senior' posters can recall days of yore when the jr DAL pilots were equally nervous about the future and then it all worked out OK.

I don't know what an iphone is, but let's not start rippin' on Debbie!

They can't afford to lose Buzz.
