I dropped my Sony Xperia SP in the toilet. I wasn't able to turn it off right away because the screen went black. In the right light, I could faintly see it and I could still feel it vibrating, so I knew it was on, but I couldn't power it off. I finally managed to turn it off and put it in a bag of rice overnight. When I turned it on again, the screen was completely black. I could feel it vibrate and the light flashed to indicate that I had a new text, but the screen was black. Is there anything I can do to fix it or is there a way to turn it off so I can at least prevent any more damage until I can take it to be fixed?
Hi,
You can ask here for opinions,
> Sony Xperia SP > Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting
But usually water shorts components in our devices and trying to fix it can get costly and usually ends poorly. You replace one component and find out something else is wrong. Best to save your money for a new device. In my humble opinion.
Good luck!
Thank you. Thread closed.

Guys, I am in deep worries for putting my Xperia Neo L into a bucket full of water. But I instantly took it removed the battery and made it dry for a day. Also I used hair dryer for it.
But still I cannot get it back alive. But when I press and hold the power button, the led light blinks white & turns to red and is stuck at that. nothing seems to be going on in the lcd screen. But when i press the power button again a small vibration happens and the phone gets turned off.
Please help guys. Is there any way I can do to bring it back, Will the Sony service center aid me in repairing a drowned phone ?

This seems like a hardware fault to me.
You can take it to sony thought and they might be able to assist you.
Also sometimes credit card and extended warranty will cover such destruction. Of course that depends on if you used a credit card with such features or have an extended warranty that covers water damage...
Cheers.
I took my phone, Sony Xperia Z1 Compact, yesterday on the pool then took some pics, then I noticed the screen turn dark then lighted up again. At first, I thought it was just normal because its in the water. Then my phone just died. Take note that these events just happen in a span of 5mins. or less. I wiped it out soon after removed the micro-sim and sd card which was wet then figured out that water leaked with all the safety covers closed (I checked it for about 5 times before I go on the pool and I'm pretty sure it was all closed). I can't take it to support center by now cause the LDI has changed colors. I tried and put it on a bag of rice air sealed. Been there for almost 30 hour, but still i can't make it to turn on. Then I charge, It responded with a 2 red led lights and 3 vibrations simultaneously. I just had this phone for 5 months and am afraid to tell it to my parents cause it took them a lot of cash to buy it for me. please help me. PS. I tried to connect it to the PC, still making the light and vibration response, recognized but as an S1boot firmware, the power+up button, the hard reset button on the sim slot. Still no other response other than the light/vibrations

Hi,
recently my Xperia SP came in immerse contact with water. I powered it off quickly, then dried it as much as I could.
I then turned it on, it was working for like 15 minutes, and then it suddenly shut down.
It now acts like the hard power off button is constantly pressed (vibrates 3 times when I plug it in/power it on/etc.).
Any help much appreciated!
Sounds like a water stuck between the button n the contact thingy (sry for bad english, not quite good at explaining things)
But i think theres still some water left there, should be fine after some time , water should evaporate on its own(wouldnt recommend having phone turned on cuz of possible short circuit)
Not an expert, but this sounds like the only logical explanation to me.
Hi,
Water damage such as yours is usually fatal I'm afraid.
Also, I see you are well familiar with your device section, so please ask there.

Hi,
Thanks for using XDA assist.
Even though your phone is IP65 and IP68 rated, did you make sure that all ports and covers are firmly closed (mentioned in Sony website)? For more specialized help, your thread will be moved to the Xperia M2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting forum. There are experts there who can help you out. Please note that in order to respond to any replies, you need to create a XDA account.
Good Luck! - gsstudios
I bought a new tablet and the specs were great but there was a problem with it. It kept freezing every now and then. I talked to the seller and he insisted that do an upgrade which I refused to do because it causes a lot of problems. They refused to negotiate anything until I do the upgrade so I did it. Everything went well when I burnt it but once I put the sd in the tablet and the screen turned white then started fading into black around the edges until it all became black. After a while it turned off so I took the sd out and turned it on and I've heard the sound that plays whenever I turn it on but the screen was white and then black just before.
The tablet is on I'm sure of it but the screen doesn't show anything. It's not off though. I mean there's a light coming out of it. I tried the power and volume buttons but when it turns on the screen doesn't show anything.
When I connected the tablet to the computer it was normal. My previous data was deleted which means that the flashing worked I think because it looked like it was formatted. Everything is fine except for the screen.
I'm sorry for the long post but all the other solutions I found were related to dropping the phone or something and even the ones related to the firmware were different. I hope you can help me with this specific case. I can upload photos or a video if that would help.
Thanks in advance.
