EWW!!
I just had a customer come in with a V600 which wouldn't turn on, even though the charge was complete. I plugged it in to a car charger and sure enough, it said charge complete. "Wow," I thought, "a customer who accurately described their problem." I removed the metal back faceplate on the v600, and the entire back of the phone was filled with some sort of petrolium jelly. Of course, whatever type of foul smelling jelly that it was, it was conductive so the battery and phone were ruined. Luckily he had insurance and didn't fuss about them mailing him a new one tomorrow. No, I didn't ask how it happened or what it was. It smelled so foul I didn't want to know.
