[Q] Nexus 5 exposed to water

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

This ^
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

Screen won't turn on but responsive to touch after water damaged. (xperia J)

So, a few days ago I accidentally dropped my Xperia J into water. Then, I took it and dry it using towel. I opened the case, battery, SIM, and SDcard. After that I put it into uncooked rice for 1 and half day. Then, I tried to turn on the phone. The phone is turned on but the screen isn't. But it is responsive to touch because I can unlock it (my phone is locked in pattern and I memorize it). I can also touch the home button and the sound button work fine too. So my problem is, I cannot see anything in the screen. It is just like I never turn on the phone. Should I let it into rice for a few days more? Or is there any electric shock in the phone? How can I fix this? Thanks.

No one replied my problem? It's been a week, I'm still waiting for someone to help. But no response :/

Maybe no one knows. My guess is that you damage the digitalizer, so you need to replace it or go to mobile repair shop.
Good Luck!

Xperia Z5 and about 20 seconds of tap water wash = dead power button

It was my second time I have quickly washed my phone under tap water. When it gets wet the Smart Connect app that I use (When plugging in headset, it starts playing music and gives vibrating notification) starts glitching, no wonder, the phone because of water thinks it has headset plugged in and then it goes on-off until I blow in the hole to get the water out. Today I gave it a quick wash and all seemed fine. Then after some time the screen started flickering. Like you press the power button very fast and turns screen on and off. Okay.. weird, never done that. Then the button stops working altogether. Fingerprint reader works, absolutely everything else as well, did the *#service#* and the one from setting > support > diagnostics. And everything works, calls and everything. But the power button does not. What it does is when I press vol. up then the vol goes up and power menu comes up that you get from holding down the power button and screen goes off and on. It doesn't work like regular power button press but it quickly turns off and on again.
What I did now is I set hairdryer next to it without heat on lowest speed to blow on the volume and power buttons. Hopefully it goes normal but if it doesn't...
Do I have any luck going back to the store for warranty? I mean it's supposed to be water resistant. I didn't submerge it, just running water from tap for about 20 or so seconds maybe even less.

I don't think it is covered under warranty as Sony specifically states on its site and disclaimers that the phone is NOT waterproof.
Water damage is therefore not covered. U can try though, but I'm afraid ur out of luck.
U can try to submerge the phone in a cup of rice for 24/48 hours.
An hairdryer would only condense the water inside the phone.
Make sure to remove sim and SD card tray first and leave the flap opened before putting it into rice.

Strange bequse on the swedish sony site they say ip68 class.
That it will survive a dip in the bathtub or being able to wash the phone in rinsing water.

You're right!
Doesn’t mind a little rain
With a waterproof and dust tight design, you don’t need a rain date
Rain happens. So do drops in the sink and knocked over drinks. Xperia Z5 has Sony’s leading waterproof* design and an IP68 rating. Because a little water should never ruin the day.
* The Xperia Z5 is waterproof and protected against dust, so don’t worry if you get caught in the rain or want to wash off dirt under a tap, but remember: all ports and attached covers should be firmly closed. You should not put the device completely underwater or expose it to seawater, salt water, chlorinated water or liquids such as drinks. Abuse and improper use of device will invalidate warranty. The device has Ingress Protection rating IP65/68. For more info see*www-preview.sonymobile.com/waterproof. Note the Xperia™ has a capless USB port to connect and charge. The USB port needs to be completely dry before charging.

No I haven't unlocked it yet. Still seems too tedious.

Yup. IP68 means submersible for something like 30 mins in clean water for 1 metre depth (or more depending on manufacturers status) if I remember right
So they can't say it's ip68 and then void any warranty if it gets wet because that's false advertising surely

I would still wait a few days, I expect the buttons to sort themselves out, maybe try the rice method.
On the other hand that won't 'fix' your confidence in the waterproof capabilities of your device..
Anyways, let us know on how you got to solve this issue, good luck.

Took it to the store and they happily took it, saying it should be waterproof and the dead power button shouldn't happen with little water. It takes up to 2 weeks in warranty service so I'll update when I got some news.
Got a Galaxy S4 mini with busted screen and busted proximity sensor as a temporary phone.. At least I'm able to root the crap out of it

Update
Got my device back, working, motherboard and a ribbon cable replaced. Asked the girl in the shop if I should now assume that the device is now not waterproof. She said absolutely no, I can test it under tap water and if anything then bring it back and then it's on the repair company because they have to make sure the device remains waterproof. Came home, gave it a 20 or so second wash like the first time. Went away for few hours, came back and same problem again, power button doesn't work, screen flashes on and off and vol up brings up the power menu. Tomorrow I'm going to bring it back.

Digitizer Not Working

Hello Everyone,
I have had my Z5 with me since march 2016. But last week I have used my phone in the pool for few minutes under water and not more than 0.5 meters.
Unfortunately, and after taking the photos, the phone started to mess around and I have lost the LCD. I was able to use the digitizer to answer a call.
Later I have lost the digitizer. I have forced shutdown the phone and I have put the phone in Rice and Oats. Fortunately, the LCD came back to work and everything is just smooth except for the touch screen. I am currently using the OTG adapter and connected a mouse directly.
Isn't the Z5 waterproof? And why only the digitizer that had failed in the phone? Could it be some trapped moisture in the phone causing this issue?
Thank you for your help!
Ahmad

there is a limit to the water resistancy of a phone the Z5 is IP68 rated
http://www.trustedreviews.com/opinions/what-is-ip68-ip-ratings-explained
you can take a xperia upto half a meter of water for 30mins max, unfortionately you have to replace what you have damaged in your phone as it isnt covered by warrenty

Thank you, but in the specs they have mentioned IP68 with 1 meter for 30 minutes water tolerance. Anyhow, I have sent it to the supplier hopefully they can fix it. Sadly though, they should have stated clearly thet waterproofing is for a splash of water and not to be used under water. Z3 initial ad showed under water performance.

Phone doesn-t work after fell in water

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.
Thanks everyone will answer and sorry for bad english.

75% of total worth of you device.

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

Ehi. Assistance doesn't exist near me. So I'm going to buy a new phone. I have a budget of 250 euro. I was thinking to buy a g4 plus or a zenfone 2 (asus). What can you say to me? I accept other devices too

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
I think I'll buy a moto g4 plus with 64 GB and so 4 GB RAM. I'll wait till it will cost 250 or less more. Thanks to everyone, I'm still here to suggestions

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+
