Hello everyone!
I have a Galaxy 2 gt-i9100t fell into the water.:crying:
I opened it up and made it a thorough cleaning a few times with alcohol and corrosion cleaner and I assembled it back.
I tried to turn on the device but no response on the screen and no lights near the home button and it did not make a sound when it runs, but when I connect to the computer it shows me the detection of Samsung Android in whondareshare software.
I installed a new screen and still no lights back and menu buttons and the screen does not turn on but the power is turned on and shows detection software.
How do I solve this problem?
Is it possible to turn on usb debugging without seeing the screen?
Thanks to everyone who helps!:good::good::good:
(Sorry if I passed the rules)

I didn't use the rice.
The device has dried for over a week and only after that I cleaned it well and still have the problem I described.

Hello guys,
two days ago I got myself stuck in heavy rain, with my xperia ray in my pocket. Whenn I got home I checked whether there was water in the phone.
Luckily it was just a bit at the bottom of the rear side and everything seemed normal, but when I pushed the home button, the white light changed into yellow, and, for I have CWMrecovery, there was no more blue light at boot. A while later even the home button and volume rocker did not respond anymore (which now is fixed). Has this to do that some water actually got in the phone and ruined the LED notification light, or what could it be?
Thanks in advance
Try cleaning your phone board using IPA..

Hi there ,First of all..when u got to know that phone is wet..you should immediately disconnect the battery to avoid internal short circuiting..I suppose its hardware..If its software u can see if SEUS fixes your problem but before operating phone you have make sure its not damaged by water..
If u havent done that water might permanently damage the circuitry inside your phone..
Clean your phone with IPA isopropyl alcohol,which might fix the issue..
The Rain water after getting dried up might leave salt traces on the board which may conduct (even when water is dried out) causing damage to the board so use IPA to clean it off by disassembling your phone..
You can google Ray disassembly, or have a professional do it for you..
If your phone was completely submerged your battery might not be working fine anymore..check your battery once..
It can be dangerous operating with a faulty battery..it might melt or even worse explode so make sure your battery is good..
Water can be a serious threat for electronics..so i dont guarantee that your led will work anymore but still its worth a shot ..:good:
Clean the board to see if everything else is working fine..but you may have to give up on that led..good luck
Hope i helped
regards..

Many thanks!
I already figured it had nothing to do with software, because several apps even confirmed that vibration and haptic feedback should work fine on the phone.
I did disconnect the battery and saw that only the lower side of the rear side (opposite to the LEDNOTLIGHT) was a little wet.
Apart from the problems I mentioned earlier I am 100% sure nothing else was damaged by the water, or as you stated, the left-over salt.
I'm definitely gonna try the IPA, thank you very much!
I'll keep you up-to-date
Glad i helped you..

How do you recommend cleaning the board? Drip the IPA on it and wait for it to dry, or what´s the best way?
Does this IPA work for the vibration and haptic feedback too? since those are practically located next to eachother

You have to physically disassemble the phone first,then use a microfiber cloth,dip it in ipa and clean the board .. stillI dont think your phone got wet enough for water to get in so much..
Still google for videos on disassebly..here is one

REMEMBER Dont disassemble if u r not confident enough to reassemble..u dont wanna make a mess out of your phone just in case

If it's not caused by water damage as you said, could having it put away in the bathroom with a hot shower on have caused it? Maybe because something caused the H. feedback to stop working and the LEDNOTlight to freak out?
Moisture from hot shower may cause damage but not sure....
To be simplelease keep your away from water..unless u have a Xperia Z or ZR or V or whatever.....

I just confirmed that it is not software related. Repaired two times with SEUS and Flashtool, and still both times no vibration and yellow light instead of white

Disassemble phone and clean with IPA or hand it over to sony service center they will do it for you..but i guess they will charge you heavily..unfortunately you have no other option...

Unfortunately your IPA did not work. All I got was a short white light i.o a yellow light, but it turned into yellow immediately. I guess there's no other option to buy a new phone? I'm gonna pay more than my phone costed. It's over an year old and water damage of course isn't covered by the waranty

Well, the white and blue light are back, but the haptic feedback unfortunately not, and somehow the LEDlight doesn't flash anymore when a whatsapp message comes in, but that might just be me not paying attention..
Any idea how to deal with the vibration not working?
The vibration is made with a small motor with an off - centre weight on it, I have changed them before on my old Nokia ,I think most newer phones use the same type.

I don't think I have the knowledge to change the vibration thingy. So I guess I just gotta wait 'til I get a new phone
Future
Alright, what happened 'til now is that LED notif is back, unthough the yellow light still somes pops up instead of the white light. Vibration neither working, but nothing else seems to be not working properly. If anyone knows how to fix the two things I mentioned above, tell me
Hi guys,
So my phone took a dive in the toilet bowl a couple days ago. I took it apart and cleaned all the contacts with demineralized water. Booted it up and it was completely working, a couple days later the touch screen stopped working. First it acted as if i was touching the top without me actually doing that, then it just stopped all together. I cleaned it a second time and left it to dry a couple more days but that did nothing. To make it clear, the screen is working, so are the onscreen buttons. Just the touch isn't.
Anybody have any last ideas to revive my phone? Or could someone tell me what chip/part is responsible for the touch mechanisms, i'll try cleaning it again..
Thanks
Ben
New screen assembly required, or time for a new phone.

pen your Phone, take out the battery and put the Phone a couple days in the rice.
Good luck.
Backstory: It's been 2 years when I had water damaged my phone. The whole device was completely filled with water. The
phone went dead. I shook most of the water off via micro usb and sim card slot. That's when I realised both of my camera
lens were fogged inside, I tried to open up the glass back of the phone (to remove the battery and dry them up).
Unfortunately, the glass back was shattered but still mostly in place as it was glued tightly. I have no choice but to ditch
my phone and kept it in my desk. After years of ignorance, I finally went back to check out to find out that the lens are dry
(all of the water might as well have been evaporated. I charged it. Surprisingly, the notification light lit in red. After charging
it for 2 hours, I decided to power on the phone.
Issue : The display seemed dead, but I managed to take a few screenshots using -vol + power button. Just by listening to the sound of the
screenshots I took, I don't know if my phone is considered to be fully functioning (minus the LCD screen).
Can someone please tell me if my phone is still working fine as it can emit sound because I'm considering replacing the LCD screen
Put your phone in a rice tub with all the flaps opened and let it wait there for 1-2 days, the water should be gone completely.

Alright, I will try my best to make it dry. Also, thanks for the quick reply mate! :good::laugh:
My Z2 accidentally got submerged in water, and the water got in the phone. Basically I was in the kitchen while suddenly my phone slipped and fell into the bowl full of water, the charging port flap is very lose so it got open and voila. I've removed the water from the phone but there's still some moisture under the front and back cameras. The phones boots up just fine but the screen flickers a little bit and after 5-10 secs it goes completely black. I just want to know if I keep it off for sometime, and when all the water will evaporate, will it go back to normal or I will have to get it repaired? Thanks
Edit 1: I just found out that the touch screen works even after the display going off soon I tried increasing the brightness to full and the screen started working, although it still flickers a very little. On keeping the brightness on minimum the screen goes off again

The only thing that seems to work for now is open the phone, all I have done is open the phone and disconnect the battery, remove the charge that may have the touch screen (static) and clean with isopropyl alcohol all connectors (disconnect everything It is connected to the telephone plate and clean) all this very carefully, until now I have not had a problem, it is necessary to continue testing.
PS: The back cover has no glue, you can remove it very carefully with your nail or with something thin enough
PS 2: Maybe the only thing to do is remove the static, what I did was to cover more possibilities
PS3 : Sorry for my english, hope this helps you

I flashed the rom i had again, and it worked for me.
In my previous lenovo, Zuk Z2, that din't solved the problem. To be able to use it for 2 minutes, i had to turn off the screen, hold the phine with a finger on the screen, and then tur on the screen. After 2 minutes it breaks again.
