Jul 24, 2007 -- Moisture Strips in Cell Phones Can be All Wet!
There are moisture strips inside cell phones that show whether your phone has gotten wet or been submerged. Cell phone companies use these like law to void your warranty and deny you repair service. The cell companies claim they are foolproof, but in fact, according to the New York Post, they are faulty lots of times. Its been proven that just by putting a damp cloth next to the phone, you can change the color of the strip! So if you have a problem with your cell phone, and you were told your warranty is void because you got it wet (when you know you really didnt), heres what Clark recommends. Find an old cell phone youre not using anymore, take it back to the store, put a damp cloth near the strip on the battery, and prove to them right there that the strip is not accurate!
