Well try keeping it in a bag of rice I suppose??
I think you need to go to a service center.

Hi guys!
Two days ago,I dropped my phone in my sink,which was full of water :/ I immediately took it out,took the battery out,dried it with microfiber cloth and then put it in the bowl of rice. It stayed there till yesterday morning (approximately 9hrs). When i took it out,I powered it on,and it worked totally normal,except there were water marks on my screen. I thought that water has penetrated between digitizer and LCD,but now I beleive that it was actually in LCD,because objects,letters on screen were seen as they were above those marks. I tried to open it yesterday,to see if anything has coroded on mainboard,and when I dissasembled it,no marks were noticed. I also thought about dissasembling the digitizer and LCD,but I didn't do that as I was afraid that I might do even more harm.. Also,yesterday I left it again in a bowl of rice,but I added silica gel this time also,and it spent 10hrs in the bowl this time. I took it out,powered on,and it worked,although with same water marks on the screen..
20 minutes ago,i noticed that it stopped working,stopped charging. I tried powering it on,and it did power on,but,not completely. It went through boot screen succesfully,played htc sound,and opened desktop.Suddenly,the screen went black,but it was clearly still on,as light was present.
Now I don't know what else to do...Any suggestions?Is it repairable or I can just say goodbye to it ?:/
Thanks in advance!

You can try to repair the digitizer, but other parts could be damaged as well...
You should take a look at this thread before you change your LCD, that is, if you want to: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=19649563

turn it off, do it in a box filled with rice for 1-2 days and see if it worked
I dropped my phone in a puddle of water during a light drinking binge a week ago. I did all the known techniques for drying out. Rice, etc.
Waited a whole week before turning phone back on, everything seems to work great except screen is very dim. I thought maybe it still needed a little more drying so I took a blow dryer to it. Phone was nice and warm. Afterwards turned phone back on and screen was bright and full of color. I thought wow its fine. About 10 minutes later screen went dim again. Imagine my disappointment. I thought what the hell I'll try the blow dryer again and bingo screen bright and full of color, but as soon as phone cools the screen is dim again. The heat from the blow dryer brings my screen back to life everytime but as soon as it cools it becomes a paperweight. :crying:
Just wanted to know if anyone had any explanations as to why this is?

I took the phone completely apart down to the last screw. Laid all the pieces out on a towel and used the blow dryer for about ten minutes. Put everything back together and BINGO! Has worked like a charm ever since. Thanks again.
You are most welcome!! It would be great if you could subsribe to my youtube channel!!
Thanks

Hey Guys
New to the site and I have a quick question. I was charging my nexus 5 overnight and when I took the charger off the phone this morning everything was fine until about ten minutes after, The phone screen went black and was unresponsive its been like that ever since. Its so weird I still get notifications that I have messages and email ie the led blinks and it makes a noise and the phone still rings but obv I cant pick up as there is no option to answer.
I might add that there was some spilled water beside my phone this morning that I think may have came out of a glass of water beside my bed. It was only a tiny bit of water so I am not sure if this is the cause.
Anyway I have put the phone in a bag of rice now just in case ....has anyone have any idea what the issue may be ?

Hello,
Accidentally dropped the LG Stylo H631 in water. Charging works, boot works as I can felt the vibration, but screen is completely black. Any suggestion? I was thinking of getting lcd degitalizer replace, but stop to check to see if you wonderful folks can help me before I doing anything wasteful.
Thanks! :cyclops:

Just because it may or may not be booting now doesn't mean it will in a couple days or weeks. Corrosion can take some time to set in.
I hope you left it off and put it in rice for a couple of days. Turning it on immediately is bad.
