Hi Guys,
I am using LG V10 dual sim version. Today by mistake my phone fell down in to water and i have taken it immediately. Also removed the battery and sim. After that my phone screen is glitching. It is having green patch & lines in the display. Could you please tell how to fix this.
keep the phone and battery separately inside a bag full of rice with back cover removed and wait for 24 to 48 hrs. and then take the phone and switch on. may be work for you. if you done this immediately after taking from water there is more chances to work perfectly without any problem. it is one of the best solution for water damage. i had experience 2-3 times but not with v10.

Hello community.
I have a serious problem and i want your help.I read all the articles about dropped in water but i can't solve my problem. So i am starting from the beginning.
Yesterday my phone was dropped in the toilet for 2-3 sec (stupid i know). I took it, i remove immediately all the parts (battery, sim, external sd) and i start blow with hairdrier (mistake i know) after 2-3 hours i try to switch on the phone with no result so i continue my stupidity... I connect the phone on the charger with no result but as i noticed the back of the phone was warming. After that i read the articles (the first correct thing). So i put the phone in a rice inside a Tupperware and i wait for 8 hours. Then i start the phone and WOW it was working fine for only 10 sec. Then a battery message appear that i must charge the phone and the screen went black but the sounds and the touch was working. So i close the phone and i put it in the charger ( i know,,, i know...) After 10 min i remove the phone from the charger because was warming. I tried to switch on but the screen continue to be black and the sounds and the touch working... So i remove again everything and i put it in the rice again until today 2 hours ago.
I switch the phone and the phone started and the screen working except 1/4 of the screen in the above right place. So i close the phone and i put it in the rice again.... I noticed that when the phone is closed there is difference in colour between the black screen that working and the black part that is not working. So after again 2 hours in the rice i noticed that the black screen that is not working start to expanded in the left top side of the phone... and i am wondering, this thing is a water or something from the screen liquid?
Please help me if you can. I will appreciate your help.

I don't know if anyone can help you, it is a smelly affair.
If you were using some kind of disinfectant inside of your toilet (especially the smell of the sea or green apple) you have a huge problem.
More seriously, the layers of the screen stratify from each other. You can only replace whole screen, but I suppose that the rest of your phone also will die sooner or later.
Sell it as defective. Repair will be too expensive.

Dear friend i appreciate your knowledge and i want to inform you that inside the toilet their was NOT any kind of disinfectant inside.
Any suggestion except of sell it as defective???
Okay, don't be nervous, just kidding.
No, unfortunately there is nothing you can do yourself, only replace faulty screen. You just can't stick your digitizer to screen with somekind homemade tricks. And I don't want to worry you, but I'm afraid that there will be also micro corosion on your phone motherboard.
If you really want to try to reanimate it, than you must take it apart, dry all components with rice method or better by using special adhesive liquid used in electronic to remove all wet.
If the glue from the screen has not been rinsed completly than you can try to squeeze layers by placing a book or something heavyweight and flat on top and simultaneously heat it with a hair dryer. Repet this operation few times without taking out weight.
I really doubt that this will help much but if you really wish to try than go ahead. You can always sell it after that. Even in parts.
There is somewhere on this forum instruction how to unscrew i9100 completly.
Good luck.

I will give a try.
Before try your tricks my friend i am informing you that the whole screen went black.... (Ohhhhh).
I just want to know.
The screen was broken or there is water inside the screen? (If you know)
Where car i sell the phone for parts or as a defective? (i ll give a try at ebay but if you know somewhere else give me a hint)
Thanks again guys :angel:
Theres guys on here that have went swimming with their phones and they still work.Youd only get about £130 max on eBay for the phone if you admit its water damaged.
Youd be better soaking the phone in that alcohol stuff then drying it via rice for a week.
What can you get for £130.....

I had a nokia once which fell in water, I pulled the battery out dried it with a cloth and put it back in and the screen flashed so I turned off, put it in rice for 24hrs then it worked great except there was some water on the screen from inside.
I forgot the name *-) but it was a kind of copy of the iphone at that time and it had a pressure touch screen *-)
Thats all the experience I have I hope it helps

Hi, yesterday my Galaxy dropped in the water. i took it immediately out and the screen was still on. then it switched off and this morning the screen wa only flashing a little bit. But it did not turn on. Ive dissasembled the whole device and tried to clean it and dried it with a heat blower. Now it is turning on again but it takes much time to get up and running. Once it's running the touch is not working. The soft buttons menu and back are working but the rest of the screen not. Please help

Thanks a lot for the notice!
Phone working again after water damage
You'll never believe this! All the methods did not work but i knew with one test the screen with touch was still okay... The mainboard was malfunctioning. Soo i baked the mainboard in the oven 2 times at 200 C degrees for 10 minutes... and now its freaking working again!!!!!!
1. find out if the phone dropped in salt or normal water.
2. open the whole device and let it dry for 2 days in a lot of rice.
3. if still not working put the mainboard in the oven voor 10 minutes at 200 degrees (celcius). (this worked for me!!):laugh::silly:
3. if you havent smashed your phone because of frustration it should be working!!!
Lock it!
Reflowing the PCB, pretty bold but hey if it's your last option why not
Good to know. Glad you fixed it.
I fixed my external hard drive by putting it in freezer overnight. So if i have prob with cell phone i can always bake it.
cookery class?
My phone got dropped in water.:crying::crying::crying::crying::crying: I turned it off and left it for drying. but i found it got turned on by itself but touch screen wasn't working stuck at start screen. I removed the battery. I mistakenly again inserted the battery and the phone again turned on by itself. But this time it stuck at start up screen. I have kept the phone in jar full of rice. Hope this will work out.

If someone else dropped it in the water -> insurance. But don't try to hide the water damage. Samsung WILL notice.

24hrs in rice bag, half a day in 5 1gm desiccant sachets another half a day in 5 4gm desiccant sachets, and phone booted up. :good::good::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed: everything works fine but the sim slot and the soft keys. talked to the samsung guys, they told that warranty will void just for the effected part and one i get that replaced the warranty will resume. missing my data cable as i want to reinstall the firmware... lets c what happens. I will update you guys... meanwhile any suggestions are welcome
Hi
I have been searching on this forum for various things for couple of years and never had the need to register until now, My Phone (Galaxy Mega 6.3 i9200) fell in water last week, not fully submerged, just the top of it for few seconds, i immediately pulled it out and have done the following as suggested by many in this same forum:
1. Dried in dry cloth and kept to dry for 1-2hrs
2. put the phone in a air tight container with unboiled rice for 4 days
3. put the phone in a air tight container with desiccant for 3 days
I have put some pictures and you can see the water level has gradually come down from the LCD screen and the cloud patch is somewhat gone and as you can see in the last image, that is what exists and this is not going at all, I have tried vaccum cleaner hot air for 3-5 mins but no luck.
Today i walked to samsung service center and they said i had voided the warranty which is obvious and the phone LCD replacement would cost $120 including labor, however there is one risk which they dont want to take, during the replacement of LCD, if the phone doesnt come alive, then i am stuck with a dead phone for life, I didnt agree to this and walked from there.
All the sensors including cameras work perfectly fine, no issues at all, *#0*# runs with all built-in function absolutely fine, even the battery has no issues and no bulging or no drop in performance and doesnt get heated up, so, here is my question:
1. As you can see the picture, the water level gradually came down, but stuck somewhat in the middle, will this eventually go away like the rest of the water patch or will it stick to LCD like a stain permanently ?
2. If its temporary, how do i remove the water which is in the middle of the screen? I have kept almost a week in dessicant and rice, should i continue or should i try something else ?
3. The last option for me: If this is going to be permanent, anyway to replace the phone LCD without damaging the phone, I dont understand samsung service center asking customer to take risk for water damage inspite of me agreeing to pay the money for the LCD replacement, not fair i guess....b.w all phone functionality could be lost in this case which is working perfectly fine.
so, guys pls suggest me how i can fix this, its a new phone 1 month old and i am feeling very sad for what happened....
Appreciate your replies
Thanks & Regards

did u try to show some local repair shops they will help u and do not blow hot air into it it will try to blow the water but it will again come back try to show some trusted local shops see what they say i too have faced like the same issues but sc as usually say out of warranty due to water damage and my phone flash light was continuous on local shop guy fixed it now running it fine
phone dried
@djvicksee111 thanks for your reply.
yesterday it was raining heavily and my cousin became full wet along with his phone, he then put his phone under the seat of his scooter and drove whole day, when he reached home, the phone had became too hot and what a surprise it was fully dried and no water in LCD or whatsoever and absolutely working fine.
I took this idea and wanted to try the same but didnt want to drive a scooter in the rain
so, i decided i will put the phone somewhere it is not too hot and above warm, i took a small bag, put my phone (removed battery), connected my vaccum cleaner in opposite where you get hot air (blower) and closed the bag leaving small room for air to escape, left it for 15mins initially, there was no sign of improvement, then again left for 20mins and this is what the phone looks now (see attachment).
Eurekaaaaa! the water in the phone is getting dried much faster, i am gonna try this for some more time and post here if the phone is completely dried.
Hey guys. This is my first posting a thread here. I have a Verizon LG G3. Last night, it accidentally had dropped into the toilet, and I quickly picked it. Checked the phone, and there was no visible moisture damage in the front of the screen. Removed the cover off the back of the phone, and there a tiny bit of moisture around the flash, but the battery and everything around it was dry.. The indicators inside the battery holders are still red x's with a white background, and they are dry. The phone still worked like normal, and didn't short over night. 14 hours later, it was still working normally, but for preventative measures I went ahead, and took out the battery and turn off the phone.
At this point, am I out of the woods or is there anything else I need to do?

Sounds like you dodged a bullet :fingers-crossed:
To make you feel better, check this link: http://bgr.com/2014/07/09/lg-g3-waterproof-test/
If you're still paranoid you can try the rice trick mentioned in the article too, but you're probably dry by now. Good luck!
