Hello.
Two days ago I accidentally went swimming with my HTC in my pocket, was about 5 minutes in water. Afterwards placed it in bag of rice for 24 hours and it didn't turn on, red light flashing, bottom buttons flashing while holding power button and screen popped up for half a second like it would turn off. After that disassembled it and let it dry for 10 hours. Assembled it together and the red light was not flashing anymore as I connected the charger but as soon as I tried to turn it on it started flashing like before.
The motherboard is warm when I have connected it to the wall charger for a few minutes.
What should I do to try it fix?
EDIT1: Charged it for 3 hours with wall charger, still blinking red LED light..
Hello guys,
I got my Sony Xperia Z3 a few weeks ago and today I cleaned it quickly with water, since it's supposed to be waterproof.
A few minutes later my phone turned off and now it won't start up anymore.
When I press the power button, it shows the sony logo, the red led comes on, it vibrates 3 times and it turns off again.
When I plug the charger in, it goes to the sony logo, the red led comes on, it vibrates 3 times, turns off, and repeats the process.
Would anyone be able to help me fix this?
Thanks in advance.
Try charging it for 30 then try powering up
Did you make sure to close the USB/SD card ports?
I've been charging it for quite a while and it's still not working.
I've tried button combinations, not working either.
I've also tried the rubberband method but it just keeps connecting and disconnecting to my computer.
Yeah all covers on the phone were closed.
After leaving my phone in a bowl of rice last night, I managed to flash my phone with flashboot.
I hope it'll be working normally again now.
Im guessing your unit wasn't water proof, either becsuse flaps weren't tightly enough closed or your unit does'nt have enough glue between frame and glass in front or back.

This is a common practice for phones that have water inside it. It was commonly done for iPhones that had been submerged in water, pools or toilets.
The rice draws the water molecules out from the phone and into the grains, resulting in a 'dry' phone.

So I Dropped My Moto G in water, I immediately turned it off and shoved in a bag o' rice for approximately 2 Hours, and being the impatient person I am I took it out :silly: and started using it. This is where the problems began to show. I would press the power button and the screen would turn off and then it would just turn back on. Whatever, big deal, I thought but I was wrong. Then the screen stopped turning on. Well, maybe it died. So I plugged it in and the notification light went blinking on and off. Then I tried to turn it on again and it did not work. Well $hit, I thought there goes my phone. So I stuffed back in the bag of rice and left it there for a week and a half and when I plug it in to charge it, the blinking blinked on and off (which indicates it charging) and it still doesn't turn on. So I try Holding the Power+Volume Down and the blinking stopped, but then 10 seconds later it resumed.
So my question is : what parts should I purchase to fix this phone?
P.S. The screen is cracked but it worked before the incident
Hello im repairing an samsung galaxy s6, which was dropped in water by a firend(for cca 2 seconds). I told him to turn it off, and i cleaned it with alcohol when i got it in my hands. Now i do not know what to do, . When i plug it in my charger and try to turn it on, i get a blue light but just a black screen nothing happens. When i reset the phone( soft reset) there is a red light while charging but nothing happens on the screen. When i connect it too a pc it recognises a device but it cant load the drivers of the device. What could be wrong with it ? Could it be the battery, i cant get it to turn on

It does not matter if you turn it off straight away, the battery IS STILL CONNECTED inside the phone so any water inside will continue to damage the components. It is impossible to say what the damage is at this stage without taking the phone apart and testing each component.
Leave the phone somewhere warm to dry out completely, if after a few days it still does not turn on then the phone is broken.

Hey guys,
a few days ago I accidentally dropped an HTC One E8 in water and obviously it doesn't work anymore. Before buying a new one I wanted to ask, if some of our "HTC experts" may have suggestions on what else I could try before giving up.
The situation: I dropped it in water, didn't turn it off (dumb, I know) and it worked for around 10 minutes until it powered off. I left it in rice for a day and it didn't turn on or charge. At this point I nearly gave up.
I left it for in rice (about 48 hours) and - the orange led was flashing while charging. Even the screen turned on and it showed a charging symbol first and after a few seconds it showed a red circle and a white exclamation mark. After some time I could power it on and the touchscreen worked and I could use it, but it still was around 1%/0%. The screen flickered, but it was usable. I wanted to plug it in my computer then to rescue some data, but 5 seconds after I took it off power (to switch from the wall charger to my PC) it died.
Now I tried it to power it on for like 2 days, but with no charger connected nothing happens and when I connect the charger, the orange led is on constantly. I tried power/volume- and power/volume+, but nothing happens. Not even the charging indicator comes up, the screen is completely dead.
Are there any steps to try before giving up? By the way I don't want to disassemble it
Thanks in advance
