I dropped my xda in water!!!!!....HELP!!!! . I've been drying it out for a week.....Made sure it's been switched off, Tried charging it yesterday, yellow charging light came on while charging, but light switches off immediately I remove it from the cradle......H-E-L-P
The yellow light always turn off when you remove it from the cradle, because it is not charging anymore.
Or do you mean, the XDA turn off once you remove it from the charger.
water on my XDA
The yellow light goes off immediately I remove it from the cradle. I charged it for about 2 hours and it still doesn't respond to the power button
Can you switch it on while plugged into the cradle ?
water on my XDA
Tried switching it on , it didn't work
Wait
Wait, happends the same to me and after 20-30 days i put the pda to charge, do a hard reset and voila.
To be logical...
Did you try to do a hard reset?
You can also remove the bat from the xda, move the red part back in its orignal position without bat, this will definitly hardreset the xda.
Then try again with bat.
The charging curcuit has nothing to do the IC's inside, so this is not an indication for something at all.
I've done a hard reset, tried opening it from the back to access the battery but it just doesn't open after unscrewing at the back.......I am scared of forcing it open
It may be too late for you, but this is what should be done when you drop any electronics in water.
First off, IMMEDIATELY remove all power sources and batteries. If it was dropped in anything but clean fresh water, rinse it with clean fresh water. Disassemble it completely right away. Clean everything with Freon TF electronics components cleaner, or if not available, clean it with common household alcohol. Use plenty; you want to remove all traces of water. If there are parts you couldn't disassemble which may contain water, make sure you get alcohol into and back out of those areas.
Completely dry the device. If there are any places where moisture could be trapped, wait a few days. Otherwise, an hour or so should be fine.
As far as disassembling the XDA, there are some instructions here on the site somewhere. After removing the four screws, you will need to unsnap the case, which has tabs that lock together. I've found it easiest to start prying near the charge connectors and work my way around. Be careful, but firm, and the tabs will unsnap. Do be careful not to press any buttons while taking it apart; that's a good way to break an internal switch (ask me how I know :? ).
Thanks carlos, will try the alcohol method, wish me luck
You may have corrosion now or may have damaged components due to electrical short circuits across the water. Check for white powdery stuff on electrical parts, legs, pads, etc.
Trivia: Water is NOT electrically conductive... The impurities in water do that. 100% pure water won't conduct electricity.
I had the same accident with my XDA. I went climbing, water leaked in my backpack on my xda. XDA didn't do anything anymore. I dissassembled the XDA, let it dry for some days ... and it worked again!
Wash nothing in FREON cleaning fluids/solutions.
I'm a refrigeration designer - I know what the consumer freon-based evaporative solvent is, however it is not recommended.
You must clean the affected device with 'Isopropyl' ('isopropyl alcohol').
Take the greatest of care however; electrical items, especially semi-sealed liquid screens and digitisers may cause unexpected consequences.
My advice; remove the rear cover. You will have to force it, it is quite strongly held on. Simply unscrew all the screws and pull the rear (camera bit) slowly but firmly away from front/screen. Then submerse the electrical boards (after disconnecting the internal ribbons).
The alcohol will evaporate within a minute, leaving you with practically factory-fresh boards. Now look for corrosion (green 'rust') on the boards.
DO NOT POWER ON THE UNIT WHILE DOING THIS. YOU MUST ONLY REMOVE THE BACK COVER 30MINS after removing the battery; therefore minimising the risk of accidental shortcircuit with the backup battery supplying current to the volatile memory.
I know what the consumer freon-based evaporative solvent is, however it is not recommended.

This is why every electronics store sells Freon TF as the recommended electronics cleaner, right...? :roll:
I didn't say Freon as in R134a/R12/R22. I have no idea what relationship Freon TF has to those, never looked into it.
I use alcohol as a last resort because, in the US at least, it is about impossible to get pure alcohol. The best you can find is something like 80% alcohol, so there is always some water. Maybe it's not an important amount, I don't know.
I finall succeded in disassembling my xda yesterday, my battery seems to be permanently attached to the back cover. I also cleaned out the electrical board with some methylated spirit (alcohol) and left it open to dry out. There was no evidence of corrosion. What do you guys think I should do next before resetting and charge it up.
You've done what you can. Make sure it is completely dry (even all the hidden spaces), then reassemble and test.
Sorry for having a go Carlos, that wasn't my intention.
Kayode, your problem can be solved easily; let the boards dry with an aid of a hair dryer (half an hour at about 30cm away).
All liquids would have evaporated, and the solvent will have dissolved and washed away electrical conductors.
Piece together and good luck.
Thanks , will do that...wish me luck
..And the moral of the story is dont use your XDA while on the toilet :shock: ....
I used a hair dryer on my xda after opening it, also did a hard reset before charging it. While charging, the phone doesn't come on when I press the power button......The amber charging light turned to green after charging for 3 hours but went off immediately I lifted it from the cradle. .........Any ideas on these issues?

It doesn't work, won't turn on, take out battery and plugged into charger it doesn't turn on.
I'm assuming I need a disassembly guide (looked for and couldn't find) and how to figure out what's broken and where to find parts. btw I live in Australia.
Any help is appreciated.
Thank you
There is a fix rule when electrical devices come in contact with water, you don't try to power them on and you don't try to charge them!!
The best you could do is to open the phone and let it dry out! leave it drying for days!
I suppose you could use a hair dryer...
If you are lucky it will work..if not you've probaly short circuited it...

never ever use a hairdryer!
just put it it down somewhere turn i around every 30 min this way it will not cause any corrosion but yeah when you sleep you cant turn itaround so before you go to bed and then after but keep the water moving it is better!
it sounds not better but it is!
like the guy above me said dont turn it on don't try to charge it
and try it over around 4-7 days
and ofc cross your fingers and pray
let us know how it goes
Fill a cup with Isopropanol Alcohol, and drop the phone in.
Seal the lid.
Leave somewhere for a could hours, shaking around a little every so often to get the fluid into every nook and cranny.
Remove phone and shake out fluid. Leave sitting wrapped in a towel in a warm place (airing cupboard etc) but nowhere too hot.
That SHOULD get all the water out, however you probably already destoyed it by plugging it in.
Put in a jar filled with raw rice or a container containing semi-powdered quicklime it will ofc absorb water and let it dry for 4-5 days and try charging or turning it on...hope my reply ain't too late

Save Into Rice
Strange but true, you should have DIRECTLY put it in raw rice.
That will absorb the water greatly.
Put ur phone out of water. Dont turn on ur phone. Put ur device in some place by about 1 day and dont touch it!... then try again.
Rice is the answer! It sucks all the water away in a week... although i would leave it 2, just to be 100% sure

Sorry guys this happened like a week or two ago now. Took the battery out asap, left it for two days, hair dried it and then tried and it didn't work. I plugged it into the charger to see if it was just the battery that's ****ed, apparently just the battery is dead.
It was in a pool, so chlorine could have corroded some parts? Could I try to clean off the corrosion, replace parts etc. Or would it be cheaper to send to sony ericsson and get them to fix it?
Sony will just replace the whole phone and charge you a repair fee iirc.
Isopropanol may help with corrosion, but you need to strip the phone down to bare boards and parts, and soak it in the alcohol, then brush at with a SOFT toothbrush and gentle motions.
Isopropanol dries fast and leaves no residue, so it's ideal for loosening gunk and driving out water. I've used it with great success to salvage laptops filled with everything from cola to beer as well as waterlogged wristwatches.

few days ago my mini pro also dripped into water i instantly removed battery
so may be damage not done to much but after that i removed water by wiping with cloth & than place it near hot air remover heater
after that i opened it thoroughly each & every part & u know water is in each & every part so i opened whole phone screen main board camera keyboard etc. & than i used hair dryer to remove water from every part of phone don't place all parts too much close to the phone or don't use hair drier for too long continuously but u can easily able to know that part is dried or not
after that in main board also u can dry it with hair dryer after u can convinced that there is no water particles remain in phone lets switch on it
after this all i done i start my phone successfully with all features working after 2 hours
& now just my keyboard lights are not working, they are working but only for 2 seconds so i have no prob with that however i give it to service center to short it out but yes this is the only solution u can get your phone working!!
if u want some help ask me

This is the best solution but since its been a while now it probably wont work, and also because your already tried charging it and turning it on. Personally i would send it to say and get then to fix, but it may even be cheaper to buy a new device as basic warrenty will not cover water damage.

Hey guys,
My friend had my phone over the weekend, and he went and accidentally submerged it for (10 seconds) and took it out immediately. Everything seemed to work fine, so he kept on using it and gave it to me (w/o telling me) and I used it till it died (the battery was also <5 percent, so i'm not sure if something shorted or the batt died).
Either way, I've read up a bit on this forum and elsewhere and this is going to be my plan of action. If anything is wrong with it, or if I should do step 2 before step 1 or anything of that nature, please tell me:
1) Remove battery, sim card, ext-sd and let it sit in rice for 3 days. See if it works, if not step 2.
2) Get some 90% alcohol and soak phone after removing sim card, ext-sd and battery. Preheat oven to 125 degrees F and let it sit in there for 6 hours. Let it cool, open it up, clean with alcohol and a swab. See if it works, if not step 3.
3) Hopefully step 2 will have turned the water damage indicators from red to white --> Go to att service center, get it replaced.
I had some questions about the steps above:
Step 1:
i) Do I also put the sim card ext-sd and battery in the rice (separately)>
Step 2:
i) Does it matter what type of 90% alcohol? Does it have to be isopropyl, methanol or cleaning alcohol?
ii) Do i also soak the battery and cook it also?
iii) Do i take the phone apart and soak and dry individually or keep the phone intact?
General Question:
Does dissassembly of the phone void the warranty?
Thanks for the feedback guys and hope it never happens to you!

Not sure, but this is the reasoning explained in an older thread on this forum:
"Any residual moisture still trapped inside the board layers will slowly develop copper dendrites and kill your phone. The only way to stop the process is to bake it out. This will also dry out your humi-dots and turn them white again. It may work for now but in a couple months the problems will get worse.
Just my $.02
Edit: Check out metallic electromigration phenomena. Exactly the reason for humi-dots and not honoring warranties on phones exposed to excessive moisture..'

So from what I understand, the alcohol displaces the water out of the phone, and the oven heats up and makes everything evaporate. In this process, the humidot indicators also go from red --> white (allowing me to use the warranty)

I am only commenting on the alcohol, and I'm not condoning you cheating the company. I have never had to do this, so only speaking my thoughts. The alcohol would be isopropal, although I don't think it would matter if you used one of the other types. However, 90% isopropal alcohol contains 10% water, and I've never understood using it to submerge electronics equipment. You can buy 99% isopropal alcohol at most drug stores, even at Walmart, although you will most likely have to special order it at the pharmacy. It is very nearly pure alcohol, with usually less than 1% contaminants and water.
I build electronic equipment, and the alcohol is one method of cleaning the flux from the board after parts are soldered on. 90% alcohol does not work effectively for this purpose because of the water.

Yea, I really don't hope that it comes to that stage.. Hoping the rice trick or the alcohol + baking it out will remove all the water from there. I think ill try and clean the inside with alcohol and a swab after i bake it, and see if it turns on.

Cook the rice on medium for 20 minutes, add the alcohol and phone to the mixture, let simmer for another 20 minutes, season with ginger and soy sauce for a delicious side dish! Try adding Bacon™ for more flavor......

Quick update question... does disassembly of the phone void the warranty?
I dropped my phone down the toilet a few months ago. Thought I was done for, but I immediately took the phone out and got the battery out as fast as I could. After that I took apart the phone (our phone is actually really easy to disassemble) and blow dried it at medium heat setting for like an hour. Then I cleaned it with alcohol swabs on the inside and then blow dried it some more. Seemed pretty dry at this point. Put it all back together and haven't had any trouble since. The moisture strips are pink, but you can buy replacement strips online and just swap them out if it comes to that. Our phone is surprisingly resilient to water damage. there is a video online of a guy holding the phone under a faucet for a good ten minutes before things start to break.

Hey guys, I've been in love with my phone for the past two weeks. Now I'm on Vacay oversees. This phone is so damn light I didn't even realize they were in my swim trunks. Then boom it hit me 1 min later, phone in pocket and in the pool!!
Anyone with experience dropping it water or any advice regarding preventing further damage?
Bury it in a bowl of uncooked rice for a day or more. It will dry it out. There may be damage to the screen, or some contacts may be shorted, but this will help minimize damage. Also give it a few days to heal, some problems might go away as the last bits of water evaporate out.

Dont turn it on, put it in rice for 48+ hours.
During those 48 hours, pray.
Good luck!
Damp rid
Go to the hardware and get some damp rid. Place the phone in a small tupperware, place that in a larger tupperware with the damp rid in it and seal for a week. I have received 2 phones this way.
Take it apart and blowdry, that's the only way for sure, assuming you haven't tried to turn it on, good luck...

My OG 4G was submerged and I brought it back to life with no issues.
1. Like others have said do not turn the phone on
2. Do not blow dry the phone, if you have concerns with the contaminants in the pool water you CAN give the phone an alcohol wipe down. Alcohol evaporates quickly and can help to draw excess water out of small crevices while cleaning contacts, boards, etc
3. SETUP a drying chamber like others have recommended. Either using the rice
method or using a desiccant like Damp Rid. Put that in a shoe box along with
the phone and tightly seal it. 3 days minimum up to a full week. It took my
OG 5 days to come around.
That kind of rice works better, long grain, short grain, broken rice, Jasmine?
You need to take it apart and clean it NOW.
Pool water is highly clorinated. Chlorine is a corrosive.
Even drying it out or using rice will still damage the device. The water / chlorine are already in the device. Since its got a non removable battery the unit will still have power running to parts of it.
What needs to happen is
1, file a claim and replace it.
2. If you can get it apart. remove the battery and start to clean it with isopropoyl alchohol or contact cleaning solution.
But my guess is since it actually went underwater the LCD will have spots on it as well.
At this point its probably going to be a bad device.
easy way to turn it off, if on still, hold power for 10 sec, when in off state, hold vol down, boot into bootloader, select fastboot, select power down.
Don't use a blower that will accelerate the oxidation on the circuits.

Im in the Philippines so my phone doesn't have signal anyways I just mainly up use it as a wifi device, the real problem is when I get home. But if I do file a claim now maybe I'll have one waiting for me when I get back from vacation. Thanks for the help
Let the phone sit for a day or two, or until majority of the water evaporates naturally. (do not put in sun or apply direct heat, as it will make your screen fog and cause bubbles etc.) When majority of the water is out then take a blow dryer on cool or normal (not hot or warm) and apply to phone covering all areas for at least 30 mins. You need to take of the back plastic face plate as it is easy to remove and will easily hold water. If you can watch a video on how to access the batter (if you cant find one there are some for the One X line witch is very similar in build). If water is near the battery or any electrical circuits it could easily fry. If you are unsure if the water is not completely out of it you have either not waited long enough or applied enough air to the phone. Good Luck and Remember do not turn on wet electronics! THAT'S A NO-NO!!!

Blow dry as in a can of air. Not a blow dryer.
Don't forget a pool has chlorine in the water. It may even be worth rinsing. Then blow dry and then let it sit.
Take the rear cover off. Was gonna say remove the battery too, lol. But the sealed tupperware/bag of white rice works. Be patient as hard as that is.
water logged phone
I like the insurance claim option the best also, I suspect that if it comes around, it will never be the same again, and I would be concerned that one day, for no particular reason, it will simply stop working.
Get a new phone, and call it a day. These things happen dude
The key is to get it apart and get every bit of water out/dried, I guess I shoulda mentioned to watch aspects of things to not get hot, however a regular blow dryer on low or cool shouldn't hurt anything, it will be a delicate process. First things first though, get the battery out, do not try and turn it on. I've fixed thousands of microelectronic boards, traces, solder points, and water damage accounts for about 75% of most of what I've seen. If you aren't comfortable with this as most wouldn't be, find someone who is or try some kind of tep, tsp, whatever but it doesn't sound like that's an option... Good luck and follow up, I'd like to hear how it turns out...

Hello everyone. I would like to share my experience about water damage. yesterday i noticed that my capacitive menu and back buttons had stopped working. I first tried to reboot my phone hoping that this may somehow fix the capacitive buttons. it did not. furthermore my screen became green and started flickering. next I removed the battery and noticed small drops of water on the inside of the back cover. sure enough the water damage indicator was purple indicating water damage..
I proceeded to google how to fix this . after watching some videos on youtube and a bit of reading. i decided to do the "rice thing" removing the sim card and battery and memory card and then putting the phone without the back cover in a ziploc bag full of rice. I did not have rice so i used couscous, BIG MISTAKE. the couscous got in to the sim tray and now the tray no longer holds the card. luckily it is cheap to order a replacement on amazon for about $10.
I then took apart the phone a bit as i saw that the couscous got in to the mhl port as well. Later i saw a suggestion to put the phone in a stocking before putting it in rice to prevent small particles from getting into the phone.
I then removed the mother board and the cover to the camera flash and speaker. all of this is on youtube how to disassemble the phone.Using a toothbrush and some isopropyl alcohol I gently cleaned the motherboard the chassis the battery. and everything i could get to . making sure to clean all the terminals i could find,all ribbon connections etc.Then i used a can of compressed air computer cleaner.
I let the phone dry for about half an hour. under a lamp. reassembled it and booted up.. the capacitive buttons were back up and running but the screen seemed a bit pale but much improved. I took the phone apart again and cleaned it with the alcohol a second time only i applied the alcohol more liberally and now the display is almost back to normal.
I ordered a new sim tray and an emergency drying kit
I used the 70 % isoproplyl alcohol which is not recommended . It is better to use 99% ethyl alcohol which is purer and dries faster.
I hope this helps anyone in the same boat. if anyone has more to add regarding water damage i would greatly appreciate the input. thanks .
this guide may help !

Hi all,
Unfortunately, I've dropped my phone into the water and it sat there for 20 minutes or so. After that, I have disassembled it and left it in a container full of rice for 2 days.
Now, every time I try to do one of these:
1)Turn it on
2) Charge
3) plug it to my laptop
It shows the pocophone logo, then the empty battery logo for less than a second and the loop starts it all over again.
Please, any ideas on what can I try to do mitigate the problem? Thanks.

yr emmc died then replace motherboard.
battery and screen and back and possibly camera (if new motherboard does not include it) can probably keep.
Rice is useless. More than likely it's junk now.
You need to disassemble it and get out all the water. Water plus power equals corrosion.
Any corrosion can cause immediate failures or delayed ones even months, years latter. Connector contacts and power buses/components are particularly susceptible as well as some surface mount devices.
>Pull battery immediately!!!<
Disassemble as much as you are able to and pull all ribbon cable and other connectors.
Use anhydrous isopropyl alcohol* liberally if fresh water or RO water than isopropyl for salt water**.
Make sure the (water) alcohol gets into all switches and ribbon connector contacts.
Junk it but then get the alcohol off it fast.
Use compressed air to blow out the isopropyl alcohol as much as possible. It will take a few minutes, be careful with the air pressure.
Place in a warm dry place with fan on it until all water is gone.
I salvaged my Buds case like this after it fell to the bottom of my coffee (yes it had lots of sugar in it) cup. Couldn't disconnect the battery so I just pull the top inside cover off, flooding with water first then isopropyl alcohol. Had no compressed air so I used a blower bulb then let it sit in the sun on the dashboard. Total time from dunk to sun bake was about 3 minutes.
_Time is of the essence_ especially if the battery is in it. You have minutes (maybe) not hours.
A year later (surprisingly) the case still charges and functions normally.
*Do not use isopropyl alcohol on older LCD displays as it will poison them; they are open on the sides.
It should be 99% isopropyl alcohol not 70%!
Anhydrous isopropyl alcohol attracts moisture from the air so low humidity is best. ESD damage is possible but the water is a bigger threat.
It's also flammable but not extremely just don't get stupid about it.
**salt water has near a 100% mortality rate no matter what you do.
Coffee with sugar... there's a chance

I would at least take the cover off, unplug the battery and leave in a warm dry place with a fan on it for at least a few days.
If any water is still present it will likely fail.
Turns out, as soon as the new battery drained the problem were back, exactly the same as before, it seems the phone has lost its capacity of charging the battery. Everything was working fine while the battery was charged, screen, speakers, phone calls. I will take the phone to a professional next week, let's see if they can figure it out. If you guys have any suggestions on what could be done I would appreciate as well.

Hi guys, let me just let register how was the closure for the case.
I have taken the phone to a technician, the phone was disassembled and had its parts washed with isopropyl alcohol. The procedure bring it back to life, it been more than a week so far it has been working fine.
