About 2 months ago my kid cousin dropped my new just opened from box Sony xperia u into a glass of water.
Of course I immediately dried it and it was working perfectly fine for about a month until it suddenly offed itself one day.
I held the power button to turn it back on and the screen flashed SONY then XPERIA then normally it goes straight to home screen but in this case it kept on looping SONY then XPERIA.
I took out the battery and SIM and left all to dry overnight, the next morning put everything back in and phone worked fine.
A week later, perpetual turning on happened again and I did the same thing (took everything out and left open overnight) and worked again.
The problem persisted more and more frequently until today, I finally cannot get my phone to turn on properly.
Can anyone help?
Any advice is much appreciated.
water effect does not last a month.. take to repair centre or try to reflash stock rom
Try reflashing the firmware with flashtool and wipe everything when flashing. It could simply be corrupted data

Well, just a couple minutes ago, my x10 mini died. I was using it normally, without overheating, not overclocked..., just undervolted! I've got for 14 months, and since last 12 i've got the bootloader unlocked and nAa kernel with MiniCM 2.X... A couple of weeks ago I installed ArcMini rom without problems! Yesterday night I tried to turn off WiFi from the statusbar button, but the light under the icon kept half turned on (sorry for my english :S)... I didn't though it was a problem, but a couple of minutes ago, i tried to turn on an it didn't respond!! so I restarted the phone with the power + home button, like some other times, but now it didn't turned on!!
Now, the led doesn't light up, doesn't vibrate, when I plug into a computer or AC, it does the same: nothing!! What happened?? what can I do?? Warranty is avoided since i unlocked the bootloader, isn't it?? :S
Thanks!!
look the same happend to me but with no custom firware i sent it on the sony ericsson repair store and they told me that the cpu was burned.They repaired my phone because it had warranty.I think yo should try to repair it with flashtool

I think, if his cpu is bust, repairing with flashtool is not an option, i think getting a new phone might be in order
y should try to make sure that the x10mini is dead before pull out the x10mini cover and with a pinch pull out a rubber cover next to the camera you should try to disconnect that connection an then reconnect it
try to take out the battery, and wait for a while, insert it again. try to turn it on.
if it doesnt work. try to wait longer, not more than 10 min.
if it doesnt work at all, I would like to try to flash it again with the flash tool.
That would be the very basic part of the phone. if the mode can not be actived (pressing the back on phone and plug to usb) by using flash tool. then you possibly facing a hardware problem.

HELP! Guys. Most of you must be knowing me. I make custom ROMs for your phones. My Xperia SOLA was working perfectly FINE last night.
I've not done anything to the phone for a few days. Same CM9 ROM for 5 days now, not a single change. Put my phone for charging at night, and now it won't start.
If I plug to charging or USB, it shows RED LED. Cannot Fastboot, Cannot go into Flashmode, cannot Soft Reset, Cannot completely switch off device.
I CAN'T DO ANYTHING! Help guys, I can't buy a new phone it's been less than 6 months. And I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING to make the phone like this in the first place!!!
PLEASE HELP!

I try to charge it and still red led... So I bring it to the service centre and they give me a new one.. Bring it to the service centre immediately!!

You charge your phone with the phone on or off?
If off, probably your kernel doesnt support offline charging. That's why it wont charge your phone.
I've been there too, try to press the "reset button" (vol + + power) and see if the phone vibrates, and if yes do it vibrate 3 times and try to get it going again in flashmode.
My phone have locked bootloader, i don't know if it is a kernel error..
Battery over drain. Finally got it to work
Confused as to what happened.
No warranty on my phone.

Tried everything. Flashing and all.
Kept trying to Hard SHUT DOWN.
Finally plugged into charger again and left it for an hour. Managed to boot. Charged 1% in 30 minutes (Was stuck at 0% till I wiped battery stats again).
Waited for 2% then flashed stock ICS. Charged till full (took 3 hours) then back to CM9
Hello! Sorry for digging this up, I can't find help anywhere. My girlfriend has the same problem with her SOLA, that is not in warranty time by now. When I plug in the charger red light turns on and then off after a few seconds. Does not respond to Vol Up + Pwr or anything. What did you exactly do to get it to charge?
Thanks in advance
Hi,
I have been using xperia neo L for quite some time now. I have not faced any problems with it till last week.
My phone got switched off suddenly and it went on restarting continuously.
It switches on shows sony logo and then logo of xperia and it again restarts.
I then reinstalled my phone using the update service.
My phone worked fine again for 2-3 days.
After that again the same thing happened,suddenly got switched off and it gets restarted.
This time logo of sony appears, after that immediately it gets restarted.
So again I did the same thing, i.e reinstalling,worked well again for 2-3 days, after that same problem happened.
This time I cannot hear the vibration while switching on and no logo appears.In fact its not switching on at all.
Red light that blinks while connecting the charger is also not shown
I cant even try for a reinstall this time since while connecting the USB and holding the back key no response is being shown.
Can somebody please help me out??
Since i dont have warranty for the phone, can somebody let me know what the real problem is and how can I fix it??

If your LED doesn't blinks while connecting phone to computer, then there is a chance that battery might have drained out... Blindly charge for an hour.. Press and hold the 'back' button on your phone... Then try flashing the phone... All will be good if LEDs work fine... Else it'a hard brick... If flashing is not working out for you, then you need to go to customer care... Suppose if the phone works now and if you are not rooted and your bootloader is unlocked, then I recommend you to root... Sony Official ICS is not that smooth on Neo L... So root, unlock bootloader because anyway you are out of your warranty... Then install custom kernel ROM.. There are so many custom ROMs for Neo L... Good luck...
Hey guys, I put my Z2 into the water to take pictures and it worked fine, all flaps were covered. I took it out and now it won't turn on, it vibrates to say it is powering on and then vibrates 3 times to say it has been hard reset. Help?
This happened to me to.. I sent it to service, and got a new phone, they didn't even bother to try repairing it [emoji14]

Hi! So yesterday, I was charging my phone at the office using an AUKEY fast charger. All of a sudden, the screen blacked out. It hasn't turned back on ever since and won't charge anymore. Tried the following troubleshooting steps to no avail:
1. Pressed the power button.
2. Did hard reset (power + volume up).
3. Tried a different charger (original Xperia 1 charger that came with the box and another USB type C charger from my XZ Premium)
4. Tried software repair through Xperia Companion.
At this point, am I SOL? I was hoping to avoid sending this to the Sony Repair Center as I know it would take a long time to get it back.
Any help would be much appreciated.
UPDATE: After more than a week, I tried charging it again using the original charger, and it magically began charging again. At which point I have decided that I can't afford to have this issue again so I returned it back to the seller. I have now moved on from the Xperia brand and have since switched to Oneplus 7 Pro.
Same here. No solution so far. I think I'll have to take it to the Sony Service Center. Fortunately I still have my Xz Premium so I don't have to live without Sony but of course, it's annoying me à bit that I paid xxx euros for a Premium phone and the screen suddenly goes black and goodbye.
Use the official charger it will fix the issue

Any solutions for this?
Out of nothing phone is just dead. It is charging etc.
Phone is booting after 1 second lockscreen screen turns black.
couple weeks ago i had a strange observation while the phone was charging.
i'm using a noname normla charger (no fast charge)...after couple minutes the phone just restarted...i don't no why but this never happened befor.
but i'm still on Android Pie
Mine just happened today. Not charging and turning on. Maybe it was the latest software update?

I encountered similar problem today. I was using the phone and then all of a sudden screen turns off and doesn't turn back on.
Naturally I tried to restart the phone, but once the Sony and Android logos disappear and it reaches the pin code screen, the screen shuts off.
It seems the phone it self was working as it still showed up on my Xperia XZP wifi hotspot list prior the first reboot. Also what seemed really odd was that the phone made some really weird noises near the camera area, like a failing HDD would do.
For context I was using the phone in a heavy rain before but I charged it yet.
Update: Phone started up again after leaving it alone for few hours.

Update 2: The phone still gives has the problem. It worked fine most of the day after turning it on, but today morning the screen blacked out again.
I was listening some music while it happened and the music kept playing, meaning the phone itself is totally awake, but the screen cant be turned on.
The phone can be woken up for short burst of time, lasting from 1-3 minutes, or it can also be fine until the problem arises again. I try to copy all my files to PC and remove all of my 2FA stuff from phone and try to repairing the software. If that doesn't help I return the phone to store, bought it last August.
sad to read....so far i did't run into that bug so far :fingers-crossed:
just updated from Pie to Android 10 two days ago (4 updates in a row 0_o)....phone works normal so far

Update 3: So I avoided going through the software repair ritual myself, because even though I am a hard on Sony fan probably til day I die, the damn phone is a disappointment compared to my last XZ Premium. Except the screen and rumble engine, these are better.
But I digress. I just thought that this phone isn't worth my time and just took it straight to shop I bought it from next day. So after two weeks I got my Xperia 1 back, fully working again and with a replaced the motherboard. And all that free of charge. So I advice OP to take that Xperia 1 unit back to Sony if they haven't done it yet.

Well it turned on later on the same day I first encountered the issue. Next day I could not get further than pin screen and it shut screen off.
But I wouldn't cross out water damage, it rained hard on that day so I was soaking wet when I got home. But I doubt my phone provider would have handled it so seamlessly if it were a water damage case.

It must be. I'm washing my phone sometimes. After the blackdead I checked the simcard holder for dirt and things.
And indeed it was little bit dirty(white things). Cleaned it up and it's ok now.
Another one here with a suddenly dead xperia 1.
Long Sony fan too, but im really disappointed. The only thing i could think is i used to wash my phone with a little soap, but when phone died was hours after i wash it, and i been doing the same for months.
Im starting to think is due to bad quality of the motherboard, and not water damage. I checked sim tray and no sign of water, water indicator sticker is intact (white).
Is suspicious, lately suddenly more people seem to report this sudden death, its a bad software update? Planned obsolescence? Don't know but it's weird.
Im so disappointed with the brand right now, that already ordered a Samsung phone. Maybe in some years, Xperia will be more reliable. Having such an expensive phone dying a couple of months after 1 year of use is unacceptable.
