Hello Guys
A while ago i received my N5 and i really enjoyed it! 2 days, i drop the thing in the toilet. :crying:
Okay so my insurance wont cover it and the phone has dryed in Rice and i followed all the advices that were online.
Tho i couldnt remove the batteri and i know this is a crucial point since the current+water will destroy the circuits.
Now my phone either wont start, or sometimes it will try to boot showing the google logo and then crashing (it cant enter the OS).
Is it worth trying to repair the thing? I dont think it will be a problem for me to change a circuit board og replace another part, but since i dont have any experience with phones i dont know what part i should start with.
The phone costs 580 dollars here in Denmark where i live.
Is it worth it ?
Regards Jesper
You can open it up, get some rubbing alcohol and submerge the board into the rubbing alcohol. Use a soft tooth brush and scrub the board. Usually the board gets corrosion/dirt from the water. Once thoroughly clean put a blow dryer to it (use medium to no heat. DO NOT PUT THE BATTERY IN THE ALCOHOL. ONLY THE BOARD!
I've tried this before and it worked like a charm when my Galaxy Nexus had water damage.

As soon as you dropped it in water you should have turned it off and left it off for days and possibly even took a hairdryer to it or let it sit in front of the heat vent.
Number one mistake is trying to turn it on. If anybody else drops the nexus in water. Because it has no removable battery cover. Rice won't do the trick. It would take way too long and the water would have already rusted the metal components and trashed all the pop connectors. If you drop the phone is water. Quickly take the entire phone apart. Than put all the pieces in rice. That will allow the rice to actually absorb the left over water. YouTube "nexus 5 tear down". Its always a good thing to know how to do this.

I just finished assembling the Nexus again and im a very happy man!
After disasembling the phone i found that the top board was very teared by the water and it was clear how some of the sockets had poor or no connection.
I used pure alchol (Dunno what its called in english) and a small toothbrush to clean the board. I dryed the board with a hair dryer on cold setting to avoid over heating the CPU parts. Now the phone works! and it doesnt look like it has any pearment faults or flaws. Even the display is normal and all my previous settings and the OS was intact. Thanks for the help everybody! and yes the best thing to do is remove the powersource and dry the boards individually if exposed to water
Best regards Jesper

Hey guys. I followed the instructions and have gotten my phone to power. Problem is when it goes from the power up screen that say "Google" to the colored balls, the balls freeze and it goes back to "Google" and freezing there. Any ideas on what I can do to get it to boot?
I just need it to boot long enough to retrieve my pictures and this hot chick's number I got right before the phone was dropped in the pool. Thanks.
edit: When I hold Volume Down/Power, I can get it to the bootloader. Anything I can do from here to salvage my stuff? I'm not familiar with bootloader options. Plugged into my computer, I can hear my PC make the noise as though it's connected which typically then leads to the phone's drive being accessible on the computer however it then immediately makes the noise of the phone being disconnected.
I believe I am having the same problem as you. I briefly dropped it into a creek for no more than a few seconds. That was enough to make the display unresponsive to touch. I was able to power down and quickly did so.
Unfortunately I wasn't near any rice immediately (motorcycle) so I put the phone in my mesh jacket in 100F weather and hoped for the best. I left it off at this point. When I got home I turned it back on (stupid I know) and the N5 didn't boot, only stopped at "Google" boot. I powered down the phone and rebooted, this time it worked. A quick checkup showed the external speaker didn't work for Play music, but did work for T-mobile visual voicemail. Also, the earpiece didn't work when I attempted to make calls.
At this point I realize I probably screwed up the phone big time. Once I realized not all components were working I put the phone in a ziplock bag with brown rice new from the store. I guess I'll let it sit for 48 hours and then attempt again. If it doesn't work, I'll attempt taking the phone apart and cleaning each part. And I'm really only going to attempt that because this phone isn't even paid off!!
These phones need to be made tougher! I am losing hope that there's any chance of my phone surviving at this point.

Nexus 5 Water damaged
Hi guyz,
I need some help, lately my nexus 5 was been water damaged. I immediately follow OuncE718 suggestion but I still experiencing problem. When I press on the phone I can feel the vibration but Google-boot logo will not display and it will only display a white-dim light in the bottom part of the screen. I tried to connect it in a Windows computer it will be recognised as a Nexus 5 phone. Does it mean I had to replace my LCD.?

Who knows what damage did the water do? If the corrosion sets in, your device will be hosed for sure.
It's really a fools errand to fix water damaged phones as no one can be sure the extent of the damage.
If you take it to a service centre, they'll most probably replace the lcd + mobo which will cost a bomb.

If you buy a new LCD, how will you know the Motherboard still works? Then what if you have to buy new motherboard?
Cut your losses. Replace the whole phone. Then get insurance

Spending money on a water damaged device is usually money wasted. Cause there's usually more things wrecked you find out along the way.
Save the money to go towards a new device.
I had the same problem, I used all the methods that I've read with no solution, my last hope is that the battery got damaged, is there a chance that maybe the battery is the problem? I can get a replacement for 20 dollars, but what do you think? thanks

Little toddler nephew threw it in a pitcher of water. Sister dried it with a blow dryer and she couldn't get it started to so asked me to try so here I am. She tried to turn it on once about a MONTH ago but nothing since. I'm not sure where to start the trouble shooting so any help would be appreciated. I've taken apart a few devices so I'll be doing that shortly as well.
1) I THINK it's charging but there's no charge indicator at all. A red light came on the first time I plugged it in very briefly but it never came back on again. I'm guessing it's not the battery.
2) I've tried all the button combo to try to get it in various modes, no joy here.
3) The phone vibrates when I hold the power button ( or various button combo ) but the screen doesn't come on.
4) Computer ( Win 8) sees the phone as Nexus 5 but when I click on it, it's blank. The properties show me, LGE, Firmware 1.0, and its serial number. Power source: Battery
5) Several times that I've tried the button combos it would play a little jingle. I'm guessing it's a default LG jingle.
Any suggestions on what the problem will be ? I will probably dunk the thing into alcohol once I take it apart. I'm guessing the display would be the obvious guess but it's a bit pricy to buy just to find out that it's not the screen.
Thanks .
Ahh.. Aren't you suppose to NOT turn it on? You shouldve disassembled it first and extracted the battery then clean and dry. I surely hope it hasn't caused any short circuits from all those multiple tries.
Also the Nexus 5 does not produce any boot sounds.

1) hairdryer - big no. Made it worse.

If you didnt let it dry for at least 24hr min before turning it, then its as good as dead... you maybe be lucky that half the things work but over time, you will find it frustrating not having able to use the full features..
i hope the next nexus is water resistant

Agreed, but like I said it's not mine. I'm still on a trusty Samsung Galaxy 1.
I'm going to pry it apart just to see.
It may still be able to be saved. Open the device up, take a soft tooth brush and some rubbing alcohol, scrub the whole board, breaking away any corrosion that started to build up. If there are any black scorch marks on the connections, then take a pencil eraser and use that to help get those off.
I've heard of using rice to help absorb moisture in cases like his. Might not help now but can anyone confirm if this is maybe a good idea for anyone else faced with a similar problem?

I bought a damaged nexus 5 off of kijiji that had a shattered screen. I bought the phone to fix, but realized that the phone does not power on at all. There is no response from the phone at all. No charging LED, no vibration, or any other signs of life.
The phone came with the box and charger so i tried leaving it on charge for a few hours hoping that it was just the battery that went dead. Unfortunately this was not the case and the phone still doesnt turn on. I popped open the back cover looking for any visible damage on the phone, but it doesnt look like there is anything wrong. The liquid damage indicators have not been triggered (still completely white) and i do not see any corrosion on the inside which i guess rules out liquid damage.
I then thought that it could possibly be the charging circuit from the micro usb so i then tried with a qi wireless charger. The wireless charger doesnt even detect that a phone is placed on it when the nexus 5 is on it.
At this point i have no idea what is wrong with the phone and feel like i just bought an expensive paper weight . I dont really want to shell out the $120 for a full screen assembly if the phone doesnt work at all.
Anyone have any ideas?
battery might of been left flat too long
keep trying to charge it
also see if you can get into download mode by holding the up volume key and plugging the USB lead in while attatched to a running pc

I left it to charge overnight and still no signs of life. I did notice if you put the phone up to your ear when it's charging you can hear a pulsating noise. Not sure if that helps at all.
I will try the download mode thing. Also I have a Usb jig from my s2 days. Will it work with this phone?

As far as i know from previous phones i owned, the liquid marks should show red/pink X marks, those get washed out in liquid damage scenarios. So if you ask me, the white indicators are suspicious. (But i might be wrong of course).

We from my experience the indicators are white and they turn red/pink when exposed to liquid so I'm pretty sure it's fine.

Hey
Last weekend i dropped my nexus 5 in the water during a night out. After a few days drying in a sealed box with rice I turned it back on and it seemed fine. Unfortunaly after a few hours after rebooting it stopped working. When plugging in the battery logo pops up and the little logo with battery % comes up but remains at zero after charging for a while.
I'm running slimkat and when i boot into recovery while plugged in it works fine. Just managed to boot it up but in the start screen it says I should connect the charger while the battery circle is turning like it is plugged in and it turned off.
I'm guessing there is a promblem with the charging port or battery. Anyone who has experience with this? should i open my nexus up and get a new charging port/battery? I ordered a wireless charger which should arrive somewhere next week, i guess i can check if the battery is the problem.
thanks in advance
Water can damage just about anything in a phone...And trying to troubleshoot it can be impossible and costly. Best to save your money and put it towards a new device, instead of replacing hardware ....just to find out something else is still wrong after replacing a component.
Just my 2 cents. ?
The motherboard is probably fried lol why would you use it when it's still wet

I dropped my phone in a swimming pool of 130 cm. My screen went black. I tried to connect it to cable and it shows motorola logo, but after few seconds the screen return black. I put my phone in rice for few day. It was the same situation. But I can go to fastboot (always only when my phone was connect to cable) by pressing power button+volume down. Any option in fastboot gives me motorola logo and black screen. While the motorola logo i could see water under the screen. I put it in rice for one day and now it always shows only a black screen, connect to cable too. I think water in it it-s moving. What can I do? Even if I can go to fastboot, if I flash something, will something change?
Thanks, I-m in panic.
PS/ if i-d have to take it to assistance..... how much i will have to pay? Only for an idea.

Could go worse
I took my phone in a 5ft swimming pool sometime ago, I could take the pictures using the volume key and by pinning the camera screen, however the pictures turned out to be pretty bad. And when I got out of the pool, I noticed that there were some white 2mm dots inside the display (they were unnoticeable though, and vanished after somedays) and later I found out that they were caused due to water pressure of the pool which made the water gush in through the headphone jack or not fixedly fixed back panel.
And about your problem, its the same water pressure that made the screen turn black. You could have used a hot air blower instead or should have kept the phone under direct sunlight. If you can still see the Motorola logo, that means your display is fine, and if not then I think its gone. There would be a point of flashing the stock rom but this may cause the condition to get more worse, so I suggest you to take the device to Motorola Service, as you said that there is a visible quantity of water under the screen. Motorola said that this device is water resistant, not water proof. So don't say them that you took it into the pool:silly:
Even if the device is still under warranty then there is very less possibility of getting the device repaired for free. They may charge you about 50% of the device price.
Hope your device gets well soon.:good:
Thanks for the replies
So there's no possibility without assistance? Or very very very low and Dangerous?
And if I take my phone to them... What Can I Say?
Because if I Say something like wc, it doesn't explain the damage caused by pression
I think you should get the phone back. I also broke my phone. I put a bad Sim and i broke Sim Reader so i call them and told them my phone dont recognize Sim card( i didnt tell them it was my fault ) so i get the phone back and they fix it for free.
Sorry for bad english.

by unblocked you mean that you unlock the bootloader and if yes then your warranty is void so you have to pay to fix your phone. I think you should take it to assistance and if it cost a lof of money then you better get new phone.

Hi, i once had a non water resistant phone..
it some how got wet.. my phone was just vibrating when i am turning On it..
i thought, the battery was dead.. so i kept the phone connected to charger.. even that thing didnt make the LCD on ..
i took it to service, they said your BOARD HAD FRIED, so we must replace Board..
i sold that phone in OLX as its battery and charger were working ..
---------
verdict : according to my experience, your phone is having water inside.. its spreading slowly, initially your LCD was effected, but later it went to BOARD
.. the thing is .. if water goes into board ( it attracts dust and forms moulds) and finally wrecks it
thanks for your post, i will never take it pool

Honor 5x over the ZF2 anyday, the G4 is a solid handset, or look at the Zenfone 3 but I hate the ZenUI... Could look for a Moto X Style, they are going on sale around $250 USD (€220) in the US, perhaps in Europe it is similar? That is what I did, picked up a Moto X Pure (the US version of the Style), very nice handset.
I think I've found a good phone

There are places that can Jtag unbrick your phone like I'm in Western Australia and thankfully there is a place in QLD that will unbrick my Moto G3 Osprey https://www.facebook.com/MobileFixSimple/. Only problem is I need to wait till I get either money or a Job to unbrick my phone. However I think they do international orders aswell. A bit late if you already bought a new phone I would recommend a Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 5Pro 4 4x or Moto G5s+
