Hello! My uncle's Xperia X10 swum in orange juice for around 20minutes in his bag 2 weeks ago. Now he gave his phone to me so I can try to fix it. What I did was, a full teardown. I put the motherboard and all the other parts into a big bowl of dry rice. I put it in there 7 hours ago but I want to leave it in there for like 2 days more.
I tried to power it on ONCE. It vibrated and continusely shows Sony Ericsson in the middle of the screen (with low brightness level). That's the only thing it shows me.
I quickly shut it down to prevent further damage.
Hi
I've been looking for this forum for some while but I just registered until today and to ask for a posible solution
So this morning my Xperia P fell into water for like less than 10 seconds, I took it out as fast as I could and dried it with a towel, I know best procedure for standar phones in this situation, but the problem is this phone cant be opened (or at least not easily and i dont have the right tools at hand)
When I dried it out the screen was on, but turning off, I did something, maybe it was a great mistake but I tried to turn off the phone as I was not able to take the battery off, the battery flashed white and turned off completely
I have put it in rice to see if theres any hope, the phone is still on and with data, its vibrating and getting notifications...
I know maybe now I just have an expensive brick, but if any of you think or knows of any posible solution so I can recover it you cant imagine how grateful I would be
Maybe this can help: http://video.answers.com/how-to-dry...17285214er-damage-517285214r-damage-517285214
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]
Sent from my Xperia Z2 somewhere in Norway
Dropped my Poco F1 in the sink. I didn't turn it off immediately as it worked for ~30 minutes (this is stupid I know.) Eventually the screen stopped responding and turned off. I took it to a phone repair place who pulled the back off and dried it out mostly, but as they were unfamiliar with the phone didn't want to proceed further. It's since been 2 days since it got wet so i tried plugging it in. The charge light started flashing which was the first sign of life i'd seen from the phone. I tried turning it on, the screen came on with a faint black very briefly with a short vibration also. The phone promptly shut off again and now not even the charge light is showing anymore.
What would be the best thing to do from here? I thought about getting a replacement screen however it takes at least 2 weeks to ship to Australia from any of the vendors I've found online. Would the replacement screen be worth it, or is the issue something else?

It's completely damaged.
Screen got shorted out from the water and motherboard is damaged based off of the nonresponsiveness / partially damaged response of the Android OS.
It progressively got worse because the water caused corossion of the metal components.
Sad to say it's completely unsalvageable except maybe the camera.

Pocophone has no given IP Water Resistance Rating since Xiaomi launched the Pocophone, but only certified Splashproof rating. See the video on JerryRigEverything wherein he did a teardown video and saw all components of the Pocophone and proven no water protection in Type-c port, headphone jack, speakers, etc.
In your case, 30 minutes underwater? It is dead. You can salvage it but not everything.

It wasn't underwater for 30 minutes. It was only underwater for a few seconds, but it was working for about 30 minutes after it got wet, and then shut down completely. I have taken it to another repair tech who got it working again, it is responsive/vibrating however the screen is still dead. Any recommendations for a replacement screen?
Place it in a sealed bag full of rice for at least 24 hours.

Hello,
could you mabye say if the display replacement worked for your pocophone? I had exact the same accident (phone fell in 2-3 centimeter salt water, worked for 30 minutes, after then screen went off, charging light is working).
Now I know what sould have to do first: turn off the phone immediately. Second mistake, I did not save the holiday photos on external storage, just on internal.
All data maybe is lost...
BR,
Alessandro
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

What makes you think the original charger will fix the problem
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.

Day later it turned on. Maybe a small water damage?
Weird...

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.
