So my nexus 5 fell in the sink i took it out it was working fine for a couple of hours. But suddenly the screen started flashing and it turned off. It turns on the touch works the Google voice actions work everything works except for that the screen is completely dead I put in rice for a day but that didn't work the screen costs 150 dollars and i don't want to pay that much. I can now see the screen slightly very less now but is there a way that if I replace the lens only it will work again.

Hey!
So On Saturday I dropped my phone down the toilet by accident, i removed it from the toilet, after about 5-10 seconds, and it was still on, it seemed fine, so I was like ohh okay...i dried it ect ect and it was working fine, but some parts of the touch wasn't working so I left it on as i could not switch it off. On that night i dried it with the hair dryer as well, didn't work, so wrapped it in a towel and but it in the boiler cubard to keep warm for around 12 hours maybe more...tried to switch it on and it didn't work again.
the day later (Sunday) decided to take it apart, and dry the insides, still wasn't working, but the notification light is on and sometimes flickers so i slept with it under my pillow as it would keep warm over night, on Monday, i put the charger in and the screen came on to that battery charging screen for around 5-6 seconds and it said it was on 0%....the notification light was still on.
I Put the phone in some rice in a box, wrapped it in a towel and left it in the boiler cubard again until Wednesday, afternoon....
what can i do?? will this work?? how much would it cost to get fixed?
is the touch screen broke? do i need new battery? ect ect
THANKS!
Best thing to do if you get a phone wet is turn it off and leave it off for at least a week. The problem is that moisture gets inside the phone itself and just takes time to evaporate. If you turn it on or leave it on after water gets in you run the risk of shorting something out and killing the phone (which is what sounds like happened). As far as repairing it is concerned, might as well get a new one, it'll cost less.
your phone should survive just give it some time in the rice, my brothers samsung ace went through something similar and he put it in rice and it was fine after a day buried in it, there is videos of the moto g submerged in water for a while and still works fine
good luck
I gave my Z3 a little bath in tap water in the sink. It was not submerged so this is more like a shower. I double checked and secure the ports. I don't even use the ports anyway because I have magnetic charging. I dried it and started using it. It was all fine until 5 mins later it just randomly turned off. Battery was good, tried using the power button and it wouldn't work. So I did the power button and volume + method and it fixed it. But the touch screen didn't work sometimes (randomly), there was a blinking red light before I booted it on, and there is rattling near the camera area when i shake it. I ran diagnostics and noticed that my screen was also flickering. Some of the tests used vibration as feedback and this made the flickering worse. Now the screen is struggling to stay lit. It turns on for 3 seconds and then it dies. You can only see parts of it too. I need help. This phone is unusable. I bought this phone (Sony Xperia Z3 D6603 black) from Worldwide Distributors on Amazon.com 3 months ago. I only took it into the water a few times. I don't think its water damage because I had the flaps secured unless Sony gave me a defective phone. I paid $700 for this and I'm not rich either. I was saving up. The phone has the standard 2 year warranty. Somebody please help. what should I do? Will Sony fix it or give me a new one?
UPDATE: Screen is dead. It still turns on and touch screen still works but cant see anything. It's like it lost signal . Kinda like how a tv loses signal. The tv still works but are no shows on.
IMPORTANT: I just found a little hole that shows part of the screen backlight. Its on the side but its more like a crack. I haven't drop this or anything. So this is possibly how the water got in. This is also Sony's fault. Will I get a new replacement or refund or repair or something?
Thanks for all your help.

Happened to me too! The screen is black but is showing the brightness and the touch works. It's totally weird!. i'm going to send the phone to SAT
Seems the lcd backlight is still working where the lcd screen is not;
not sure whether the warranty covers water damage or not...
Got around the same problem. happend in the water screen went black phone was still working. After a lot of reboots and resets it started to work for around 3 seconds then evantually the screen was staying, but is flashing now, looks like the flickering happens when the screen gets too much power. In light conditions it either flickers or is real dark.
What can I do to fix this? Or do I just contact Sony? I've also tried the pressure test and it is water resistant so it has to be something different.
If the screen is cracked they will charge you for the replacement for sure

Hi. I've noticed that my screen flickers when I put the brightness on maximum. Watching the behavior it makes me think that it happens all the time, but it's only noticeable the screen brightness is high. Tried to get it on film, but my camera does not seem to pick up the flickering.
I noticed this after a pool bath with my phone, but i don't know if it is related to that. I did not a chance to use maximum brightness before
I do not have any other issues though, just the flickering. Should i send it to repair? My phone is an 6633 Dual Sim Z3 (Brazilian, unbranded) with less then 3 months of usage.
I have been using nilkin tempered glass since i bought my phone in december. The phone was running fine till recently. One day i was on a bike ride and was using my opo as gps navigator with a bike mount on my bike. I had used my phone for some 30 minutes as gps navigator.
After 30 minutes i took a break and removed the phone from the bike mount. I found my phone extremely hot. It must be around 70-80 degrees celcius range. ( my phone usually goes to 62-65 in cpu temp app while gaming or some heavy processes, so i know the phone was way hotter than usual by feeling). At that time the phone didnt show any touch sensitivity loss and i shut my phone down.
Since that day my phone is not same. Everytime i go into sun or outside or the phone remains in pocket for some time the phone gets warmer and i lose touch sensitivity. The phone doesnt unlock using swipes. Very difficult to type.
But as soon as the phone gets time to cool down or remains in AC for around 20 minutes it becomes like nothing happened. Its functions normally.
Today i removed my Nilkin tempered glass(its broke while removing so cant be put again). Now will be monitoring for few days to see if tempered glass was the culprit. If not i am going for warranty replacement.

This seems to be quite a common problem. It happens to me too - especially when I carry my OPO in my pocket.
Oneplus are aware of the problem and they almost had a fix (I think in the 15 and 16 of May CM12.1 nightly) but it drained the battery so it's been pulled for now. Hopefully they'll come back with a non-battery-draining fix soon.

Maybe we all must ask Synaptics for a fix, or ask for the status. OnePlus isn't communicating with us!

I have the same problem too... Though the fix has been removed from the CM12s, some of the custom rom (Resurrection remix) has included without the battery drain bug. I tried it and works smoothly. If you are rooted and can't wait for the official fix, you can change the rom and try.
Hello,
two years ago I accidentally took my S5 for a swim, after the accident phone was resting for 18 months in a drawer. Unfortunately I cracked my next phone so S5 is now my daily driver. Everything is working fine except screen colors, everything has a yellow/grey tint and display is a lot dimmer, especially on black colors. One time when phone got really hot screen started to work just fine, all colors regent to normal but it lasted only for a few minutes, so I assumed it was heat related.
4 days ago without any reason my screen somehow healed itself and screen started to work properly again, I couldn't believe how it was possible. Unfortunately after 4 days with perfect colors, blacks was truly black and brightness was fully working screen return to the damaged state.
Does anyone know how it was possible, what actually happened and is there any way to fix it again?
Hey, today I was listening to music in Spotify, when I went to turn on the phone. No matter what I did, the screen stayed black, sometimes flashing the normal screen for 0,5 secs. I think it´s water damage, since I took some sick water shots with it, and 30 mins later i ejected the sim tray bc I had another phone that I wanted to upgrade from, and it was a little wet, so I cleaned it off. It was just one side of the tray. I left for dinner and left the phone at home w/out the sim tray in, so that water could dry faster. When I got home (4 hrs later), it worked normally until a min later, when it started to flicker black, so I turned it off. Any suggestions?
Bought it 4 days ago and I´m really sad :crying:
Also, everything else is fine (mobo, speakers, touch sensibility, fingerprint sensor, cameras, etc.)
