I dropped my BB Torch 9800 down the toilet and I left it in a bag of rice overnight to dry out, in the morning I turned it on and everything was fine, the only thing not working was the trackball but that doesnt bother me. I looked at the signal strength and everything was fine (it was showing GSM with 3 bars and the carrier 'Vodafone UK' was showing). However, after 5 minutes the signal switches to SOS and the carrier does no show up. It stays on SOS for ever unless I reboot and start again but it goes in a loop. How do I stop it from changing to SOS?

Thanks.
