Thanks for the suggestions people.

For the sake of VC.....

If one carries a small jewellers Phillips and flat blade in their bus,
it's likely they can open up their cell phone and let it dry out. And
that Phillips/flat blade that comes with your new eyeglasses should
work in a pinch.

I suspect moisture got in. Took phone apart let it sit overnight, put
it together/apart several more times. Display not discoloured any more
though "On" switch has to be pushed "just so" for phone to work. Touch
screen now works 100%.

Seems a phone in pocket beside the camp fire likely won't harm a cell
phone ..... unless that pocket is on fire.

Neil.
