My phone is more important than my kid is the main takeaway here.

Check.
The extra annoyance is I reckon that when I took it in for a repair 3 months ago , I’m sure that repair will have been the incident that compromised the water tightness.
I’ve decided to try and get it as “dry” as I can for a couple of days and then take it to the store and deny any water incident. At the moment that would be hard to do as there are clear water marks inside the camera lens.
Years ago my watch was waterproof to 20m or something.
Battery ran out so took it back to where bought it from to get it changed. Shop say they can change it but it won't be waterproof, do I want them to do it?
So my choice was lose the waterproof or have a watch that was correct twice a day.
Great plan.
They surely won’t have encountered a plan of such craft and guile before.
As long as the kiddies are happy, that's the main thing.
Unless my phone's fucked.

I'm not a legal expert or owt but isn't that technically kind of insurance fraud?
I don't know if they still do, but they used to have little paper strips inside cell phones that changed colour when they got wet so that even if you dried the phone out, when the tech opened it up the water indicator would let them know it had been submerged.
20 years ago, I worked at the Car phone Warehouse repair centre on Listergate. Russ is correct, they did have paper indicators inside that showed whether water had got in, but also the circuit board would be covered in spots of rust, because water and electrics are like that.
What Jim should've done was to turn it off after dropping it in the sink, the old bag of rice thing works.
The previous repair would no doubt have come with a note that the phone was now no longer IP68 waterproof. Best bet now is probably insurance, if it covers water damage.
Jim should fake a robbery at home, and claim a new phone. Possibly a new car while he's at it. Simples.
If anyone's form suggests that's an option.....
It would be an opportunity to get the Spidermince costume out again.
New car suggests I have a car.
We keep doing the bed sheets and the cats keep vomiting on them. I can opnly assume they saw something traumatic last night. TUP you little pussies!
Anyway, third time for bed sheets is a bit much. I am guessing a talking to is in order.

The Talkback recommend course of action de rigueur would be to siimply take them back to the point of purchase, bemoaning the cat vomit thereon while denying all knowledge of having a cat. Hey presto.
