Oh i am so sorry this happened to you, but yes catnapper is right they can tell if spillage has occurred , my hubby gets mobile phones like that at work all the time people claiming no water or spillage damage, and everytime that is exactly what has caused the problem, it is very easy to tell, accidents do happen and I am sorry this happened to you, are you covered by home insurance, that might be one way , I don't know what your policy covers or not, but check it out and good luck.
