Never place your phone in a microwave oven
This is listed in the owners manual for my cellphone.
"Never place your phone in a microwave oven as it will cause the battery to explode." Ummmmmmm, why would someone microwave a cellphone? Do some people think they're they edible? |

Drying it, in case it gets wet?

The test is to put your cell phone in the microwave and then call that cell phone from another phone. If the cell phone in the microwave rings, the seals are bad because they are letting RF in. RF in = RF out when the microwave is operating. DON'T TURN ON THE MICROWAVE WITH THE CELL PHONE INSIDE! Tomsic |

Tomsic- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - If that's a valid reason for putting a phone in the microwave, then shouldn't the warning say: "Never turn on your microwave while the phone is in it as it will cause the battery to explode." Just putting the phone in the microwave won't cause the battery to explode, so the wording posted by the OP is wrong. |

Maybe 10 dollars 20 years ago. It's probably still sold by someone somewhere.** At the time I had an Amana Radarrange Model No. 2. I got it second hand because of a broken spring, and it looked exactly like the pictures of microwaves that were used for decades, maybe still are. Early models didn't have latches on the door, only springs, so I was able to test the detector by opening the door a little, but not to the point the swtich turned it off, and I could see the needle on the detector move. I've used it for every microwave I've had, to check if the door is leaking, etc. ** couldnt' find mine but....non-reusable card, 8 dollars http://www.amazon.com/Pro-Lab-MD115-.../dp/B00176D3XW gauge, better than mine $27 plus shipping perhaps. http://www.testersandtools.com/Gener...e-Detector.php gauge, better than mine $27 plus shipping perhaps. http://www.comforthouse.com/micleakdetwi.html |

Assuming that that even works, you would have to have a microwave with you where ever you happen to be. Wouldn't it be better to turn the location setting off on your phone? |

About one year ago I ran mine through the washer and dryer. It appeared to be dead until the store sales guy popped a new battery in and it came to life. They opened the case, dried it with a hair dryer and it ran for another year - well, except for the camera. RonB |

Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety. Benjamin Franklin, Historical Review of Pennsylvania, 1759 US author, diplomat, inventor, physicist, politician, & printer (1706 - 1790) The Constitution is not a suicide pact. "The choice is not between order and liberty. It is between liberty with order and anarchy without either. There is danger that, if the court does not temper its doctrinaire logic with a little practical wisdom, it will convert the constitutional Bill of Rights into a suicide pact." -- Robert Jackson - Supreme Court Justice ....or if you want someone more contemporary with Franklin: "A strict observance of the written law is doubtless one of the high duties of a good citizen, but it is not the highest. The laws of necessity, of self-preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation. To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to the written law, would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the ends to the means. -- Thomas Jefferson |

When the Bill of Rights was written, today's Muslims were not a threat. Actually they were a threat when they were created 1400 years ago You need to study up a bit more on that cult of death. In case you have been living under a rock for the last decade, there are *some* Muslims that don't like the US and they want to kill us! Get it? The very BASIC view of Islam with respect to everyone else in the world is defined with: Dar-al-Islam versus Dar-al-Harb. The House of Islam against the "House of War". If you're not part of Islam, you are automatically part of the "House of War". And that means that anyone in Islam can make "war" on you anytime they want. In more simple terms, it's a STANDING DECLARATION OF WAR So as long as Islam is around, and you are not part of it, you have a target on your forehead. |

Years ago, my older sister placed a china plate that had a decorative gold metal inlay pattern on said plate into the microwave oven. There were a lot of noisy sparks jumping all over that plate. Her jumping up and down and screaming was very entertaining too. ^_^ TDD |

When I want to destroy CDs/DVDs with sensitive information I find that four or five seconds in the microwave oven makes them completely unreadable. Far more secure than cutting them up or using a mechanical shredder. -- Bobby G. |

If you put your cell phone in the MW it will immobilize the devices that allow people to track you. Immobilize? I assume you mean "inhibit". Assuming that that even works, you would have to have a microwave with you where ever you happen to be. Wouldn't it be better to turn the location setting off on your phone? I just wanna see all cell phone wiped from the face of the planet. |
