Doogee S60 not so 'waterproof'!!! Any advice?

[pedronunesnomundo]

When I purchased my Doogee S60 at GearBest I was very happy with it. Beautiful, fast working, reliable, incredibly solid body, only positive points for almost a year of use.

...Until the miserable misfortune of having it wet! Then everything turned into crap!!
My phone immediately stopped working as it got wet because the top and bottom rubber lids DIDN'T PREVENT WATER TO GET INSIDE THE EQUIPMENT!!
I have contacted GearBest but I was simply accused of equipment misuse and left talking to myself... Now I have a beautiful €200 brick.
I'm totally clueless about what should I do... Any advice on how to push further my complaints or on how to recover(?) my phone?

Thanks a lot!

Depending on when this happened, it's worth immersing the device in a packet of uncooked rice. That absorbs the liquid and gives you a fighting chance of getting something back.
