I dropped my phone in bucket full of water :crying: and now the Rear Camera LED is stuck at ON. I have had dried the phone immediately after the accident using hair dryer. Also, kept phone in the rice bag for 24 hours. Everything else works fine including camera but the LED does not switch OFF at all. Even the battery drain did not help. The LED stays ON even if Phone is switched OFF. Looks like there is direct connection to the LED from battery. I have also tried switching OFF/ON using 'Torch/Camera' apps. Nothing worked for me so far. I am afraid to take it to service center as they may detect water ingress and void the warranty. For now I have put tape over the LED but would love to hear about any suggestion/resolution or reason.
Try to heat the led a little bit and do pressure with your finger on it, maybe you can replace the false contact then
Gave it a shot using hair dryer again and pressed the led a bit...No success. Thanks for suggestion though.
Today discovered that GPS is not working as well. Looks like time to bite the bullet and take it to service center

So, being clumsy, I left my Streak in my hoodie pocket. Well, we can all see where this would end badly once I bent down to pick something up. I did, dropped my phone and cracked the screen.
I quickly went and bought a replacement glass + lcd display, and replaced the unit. But, upon turning the phone on, I noticed if I hit it a little too hard on one corner, It would restart, and the vibrator motor had ceased to work.
So I figured, hey, I'll just rebuild it again. So I took it apart. Looked through everything, took my time in putting it back together, because maybe everything wasn't fitting snug.
Now, When I turn it on, every thing is on, buttons light up, and the screen is lit up, but it is black. I never even get to the Dell logo. After about a minute the buttons dim, as if in idle. So i believe the phone still works, but maybe the connections on the MoBo is faulty? Any help would be nice, thanks.
check to see if the ribbons are snugged in place.

Well, I just took off the rear cover and reseated all 3 connections, pushed em in as smoothly and far as they would go. But, same thing. Black screen. But the LED is still working...
I'm having the very same problem. This is my second replacement screen and neither displays anything except black screen with backlight on, and the home + settings + back buttons remain lit. I can hear my phone starting up and receiving messages, but I cannot see anything. I've taken the phone apart and put back together five times between two replacement screens.
Does anyone know what ribbon cable might be at fault for this particular issue? The largest ribbon cable was shipped bent across the circuit board on both screens; there is a permanent creese in both ribbon cables, but I'm not certain this is causing the issue.
Any insight or assistance with this issue would be greatly appreciated!
Hi I recently dropped my T-Mobile HD2 in a puddle of water very briefly i took the cover off and battery right after it happened and wiped everything down. The phone worked flawlessly for about 6 hours then I finally got a black screen. The phone will turn on boot into android(2.3 NAND) and the touch screen works plus im able to recieve calls and messages BUT the only way to tell is to use a bright flashlight to see the screen as I have NO BACKLIGHT. Help me please?
You have probably dead light emission layer. By all means, LCD is to be replaced.
You shouldn't turn phone on immediately after accident. Removing battery immediately, complete disassemble of every possible piece and letting it rest for 2-3 days in warm dry place is a proper way to do this. Next time of course.
So just replace the LCD? Should I order a digitizer with it? Thanks in advance.
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

Turn off your phone and open the charging and microSD bonnet and put it in rice for at least one day then check it

I don't have any dry rice laying around so I've kept it in the open and it's way too hot here so I guess it'll all dry up

Hi guys,
my girlfriend hike with her friends, was really rainy. She forgot to put the phone in a "safe" spot, the phone got quite humid she said.
She didnt think much (obviously ), after the hike cleaned with a towel, scrolled though the pictures, so far so good - than a bit later (not sure how long it survived, maybe 30min?), the displayed showed some rainbow colors and turned off. At that point I suppose she couldnt tell whether the display/connction is just broken, or the chips are dead (short circuit?) and hence the phone was completely shut down.
I told her to keep it off, let it dry a few days. If chips are short circuited, I guess it's dead anyhow. But just to give it a try.
Unfortunately, she cant take off the backplate on Samsung (not sure which mode, but backcover seems to be fixed) because she's still on the trip - no heat gun or anything...
Now after keeping it drying in the sun for 3 days, she once tried to power it on, the displayed SHORTLY showed a logo, but immediately turned back off. At that point it wasnt clear whether the battery is just empty, hence she charged it, but no battery-charging-sign (with the status) is being shown on the display.
So: Is there anything else that can be tried?
Or is it simply dead now? Apparantly the display kinda worked, but it seems to not charge anymore, hence maybe directly turning off the display while trying to turn it on!?
Thanks!
