   My wife had a Samsung Galaxy A25G, purchased February, 2024.  It went through   
   the wash in November, 2024, and wouldn't start up.  I suspect water got in   
   through the charging port, one of the side buttons, or the SIM card slot.  It   
   was replaced immediately, since it's essential that she has a phone.   
      
   I thought I'd try to resurrect the phone and I put it in a Tupperware   
   container, and submerged it in dessicant silica gel beads, with the SIM card   
   carrier removed.  (Dry Indicating Silica Gel Beads Desiccants (Industry   
   Standard 3-5 mm) - Reusable Desiccant Beads Silica Beads(Blue to Pink) - 2   
   lbs)   
      
   I let it sit for months, but no go.  It won't charge, and of course, it   
   cannot be opened.   
      
   Before I chuck the phone, I thought I'd ask here if anyone has any   
   suggestions.   
      
   Thanks.
