My so left it on the kitchen dresser. When I picked it up (because it was bootlooping) the water came dripping out. I think most of it was in the seams between the cover, but there were some substantial drops in it, but only on the plastic parts.
I placed it immediately in rice to dry with the back removed. It still booted afterwards, and everything seemed to be functional (wifi, rotation, camera etc.). Only charging doesn't work. Ran battery endurance test to heat it up a little extra, but charging still doesn't work.
I see some corrosion a little above and to the left of the battery. Other than that I cant spot anything unusual. How do I check which part is the problem?
Yikes.
You could... send it back to HTC, and let them tell you what is wrong with it, then perhaps buy the part yourself and install it.
With any electronic, I would disassemble it and assure that every part is clean & securely fit.
Maybe the smart chip in the battery shorted? Maybe only the battery needs replacing. I have no idea how to confirm that.
Good luck, man.

Hey guys,
I've got a water damaged S2.
did all of the usual, washed it in isopropanol etc
The phone accepts charge and displays the yellow triangle and the high temperature prompt but it wont turn on. The places that get scorchingly hot are circled below:

I've tried replacing the USB flex cable to no avail.
there was some slight charring on all 3 of the chips, and I've tried cleaning them all. The one on the far right is the USB flex cable connection. after that is the connection to something on the screen. and the far left is a mainboard heatsink with a chip on the underside that had some corrosion which I cleaned up.
My question is, is it worthwhile reflowing the joints where they have become a little black. I've got some liquid solder, flux and a heat gun and wanted some advice. I may aswell try it seeing as the motherboards going in the bin anyway but wanted some ideas on how to go about doing it.
Thanks very much in advance!
Mubs
try cleaning and total drying it again wait for some time an see..if its gone then its a waste....good luck
Cheers for the reply fella,
Been in hospital the last fortnight so have not been able to do much with this.
Unfortunately the wash and wait didn't work.
Does anybody have any further ideas?
Cheers.
Part of the screen, marked out on attached picture, bends under pressure. One guy said it's mounted on 2-side duct tape, and glue is often too weak to hold it. It drives me crazy, is there any easy way to attach it firmly? Maybe superglue via syringe? I googled some photos of atrix, and this problem is seen on many of them. Battery cover have nothing to do with this, something is attached lousy inside the main part of the phone. Sorry for my terrible english .

Please help me. This thing is driving me crazy.
Buy some super glue. They sell many different types at your local store. Next question!

Really harmful advice, it would be hard to detach glued parts if needed. Also you will have to disassemble phone to glue it, superglue will dry out in syringe before you use it. Please don't give advices if you don't know nothing about subject, it can possibly cause harm. Message counter is not that important.
I'll try some simple glue via syringe and report here.
Was walking home, and found this on the floor. I've always wated to find a phone on the floor, but this isn't exactly what I had in mind.

All I'm able to tell is that it's a Samsung device, and it may be GSM because of the microSIM slot I see on the back. The back had no battery, no cover, no SIM, the screen is clearly decimated, two capacitive buttons missing (it takes talent to break capacitive buttons) and most buttons are pretty much loose.
I may spend a little money to get this thing fixed up, assuming it even turns on. I planned on getting a battery to test out first, then if it worked, fixing up the phone and keeping it or selling it. Not anytime soon, since I just bought a Nexus 4 while already low on leisure money, but it would be nice.
From the picture you provided and the detailed description it appears to be a Samsung Epic 4g.
If your interested in some replacement parts for the device I would recommend taking a look at these parts www.globaldirectparts.com/Samsung-Epic-4G-Replacement-Repair-Parts-s/6425.htm.

Was testing out my Desire X's camera and my butter finger'ness came back and it slipped, smashed the ground. The screen looks fine, it just smashed open st the bottom. The battery doesn't really fit in properly, but if you push it in hard it fits in properly, but the device doesn't turn on.
There is also this two clips, does it have anything to do with proving battery power?

My question is, can this device still be recoverable as its not as bad. And I had paid money for it. Cheapest way to fix this? I've tried pushing everything into place but it just flings out.
When connecting the device to the PC it has a blinking led at the top which is red. Which blinks on and off.
Edit - the device turns on just fine oo freaking strong device.
Yeah, should be fixable. I think you'll need this as replacement and hopefully it will work fine then. Didn't test myself, I only had to replace screen assembly some time ago, but this part is easy to replace, provided that you've got the right screw driver available.
Hey all, so this happened earlier today.

And it got progressively worse and now I can't see anything. Was looking at replacements and was wondering if I needed the replacement screen and digitizer with or without the frame assembly?
Anyone deal with this before?
Thanks!
Not familiar with that phone but any impact great enough to break the display can cause internal damage. Direct contact isn't necessarily needed as high G loading can damage chipsets internally by breaking bonds.
In the future use a good case to help lessen the G force loading when dropped. Urethane/polycarbonate cases like the Zizo Bolt do well and can even enhance usability.
Use -all- OEM parts, and replace the battery if older then 6 months or if it shows -any- sign of damage. Best to use a ESD mat/wristband and observe all ESD handling protocols especially room RH ie >40%. Once the individual assemblies are out of circuit they are much more vulnerable to ESD damage.
