Well this may seem unusual , but one of my friend accidently passed 220v into his "Samsung Star" cell phone.
THe charging pin and the wire accompanying it came in direct contact with 220v.

The phone is no at all working right now.Seems like the circuit might have been burnt.
I was wondering if there's any chance he can get it fixed in Delhi ?

If yes , then what would be estimated cost ? Btw, what are the odds of main components being destroyed.I mean the mObo ,etc.

THanks.

^Most probably the complete board would be replaced and cost depends upon phone to phone. But expect it a 4 figure cost for least.
