Can we get IMEI number only if the phone display is working.
I didn't understand the context of IMEI number with my issue.
Yes I have the box with me.
I always keep the boxes of phones that I have with me including bill.
Infact I still have box of a Nokia Phone along with bill which got stolen some years back.
Today I think I will pick up the phone from the Samsung Service Center.

You can get the IMEI no. From your job card ( of samsung's service centre) as well. Check your job card.

You can get it from the back of the box. Its written there with the MRP and all other info. It'll be required in case you wanted to exchange it for some other phone from flipkart.

IMEI is required to exchange the phone. You can find it on the box along with other details.

Finally my baby is back with me after a brief stay at Samsung Service Center.
On they way back I showed it to couple of local service center guys who are insisting that I leave the phone with them.
However I refused.
So maybe next couple of days it needs to go into Rice bag.
Later I need to check it out.

My mom says Im too much like my grandad:-
I keep the boxes for all my products even after I sell/give them away or expired warranty
It has vital info such as IMEI,serial no etc
never know when it might come in handy
Click to expand...
Certainly not the case with me. This is the reason I always have a pic of the vital details. I am prone to loosing my boxes.

worth a try
either way,try and sell it asap
sea water has long term effects on electronics

My old house was on Juhu beach Mumbai
every year,all our electronics used to develop issues thanks to the moisture etc
I can imagine what would happen after direct contact

So what do you suggest bro?
1. Selling it off
2. Trying the rice bag trick.

Yeah so you should give rice bag a shot. And do not use hair dryer.

So buddy how long do you think I should have it in the rice bag?
Ideally I would want to have only the battery removed rather than everything removed as it was shown in Youtube video.
You think it wouldn't suffice if I just remove the battery alone instead of everything.

3. Exchange it from flipkart. I don't think shopkeeper will take it and even if he does, you'll not get good phone from him. (One rarely gets good phones in shops these days)

I forgot to ask suggestion from my dear friend saiyanGoku.
Thanks bro!

I will wait for couple of more guys suggestions and take a call.

Try 2. then 1.
keep it for 2-3 days
no harm in keeping

Note 2 is discontinued. Even if his phone was alive, they wouldn't sell it back. Chances are it will end up in a dumpster or sent for recycling. Still worth giving a shot using COD as payment method.

worth a try I guess but first Local should be tried first,might get a decent deal

Umm, Moto G, Zenphone 5, Redmi 2, Yureka, Lenovo A6000 are all online exclusive launches. :|
Local shops will again push him for another samdung crap just to exchange the previous one. :facepalm:

He doesnt need to purchase from local shops
He can sell locally and buy online also :facepalm:
Flipkart exchanges for low-mid ranger generally dont have good deals
you can buy a new phone and keep your old one for the "exchange offer price" most of the times

Ok for the next 2 days I will have it in the rice bag.
But you still didn't answer my question just removing the battery and keeping it in rice bag will suffice right?

I seriously doubt if any local shop guy is going to take this in exchange I'm pretty much sure they will tell this is not worth for them to purchase considering both Display and Board gone.

my point is-
try and dry out the phone
sell it locally
buy a new phone online

exchanging on flikart example(most of the time)-
10k for old phone +30k for new one
40k for new phone only

whereas-
other sites-

new phone only-30k

so you might as well sell the phone locally where youll get a better price than use exchange(most of the time)
you have to decide on phone,look for deals etc first to find out for sure
