2017-06-16T02:45:25+00:00 My Lumia Icon got lost and got wet while it was lost. I let it dry out for a couple of weeks. Plugged in the ac adapter and got the slow blinking start button/icon, then i got the charging and gear icons. one time i got a nokia logo a red/dead battery and charging plug flashing even though it was plugged in. Now i get nothing when i plug it in. i set it on top of my nokia wireless charger. the charger is illuminated and i have the charge/gear icon on the screen again. cannot do hard reset -- no vibration, nothing. if i take it off charger it goes dead. Any suggestions besides throw it away?
