My atrix won't power on (dropped in water); I have had it in dried rice, placed in a zip bag, and sun dried....before all that I immediately removed the battery and shook out whatever water i could. I've waited a full day but still no luck; if I remove the battery and plug in to PC with battery removed I get green LED but other than that I get nothing (for example if I switch to wall charger immediately the LED goes out). If at worst case I need a replacement, how difficult would it be to have this done without the AT&T purchase receipt (I'm not an AT&T customer)? I purchased the item on eBay a little over a month ago. I've read in forums to unroot before attempting return but that's not gonna happen (lol). My girlfriend hates that I even got an atrix so she's kinda happy this happened...a little off topic here, but I really love my atrix so can someone please help me out?!

Well, no help cuz no solution is available. Your phone is screwed and if it fell into water, the water seals must be screwed up as well and guarantee is void.
Think about it
Well the green LED comes on when plugged into USB like I said...but other than that nothing...I can't find the OEM charger adapter of all the times to be lost. I guess since other threads were successful in revival I would have hoped I would get lucky. Thank you for your reply.
They will know it's been in water by the sensors. They will also know you didn't buy from them. Best bet is insurance if you have it, but I think you are out of luck.

i jumped in the river about 2 weeks ago and completely forgot i had my atrix in my pocket. i would say it was about a good 5 mins underwater. Water damage sign appeared on atrix as well as battery. (red dot). i did the rice thing too..but nothing. unless you're insured..which i was..theres nothing you can do. sorry for your loss.
Does anyone have a general idea of how much it would cost to have the board replaced then?

Is that USD? H%*LY *^&%!! But that doesn't look like the board that I've seen
funny. i looked up the same info as you are. That link is what a friend of mine sent me. so im not to sure. maybe someone here with better knowledge can help you out.

Actually I sat and thought about it and there's the fingerprint and camera to also take into consideration, as well has other functionalities just didn't post. I'm in between studying Windows Server 2008 , watching TV, and just randomly doing other things. Thanks to you all for your help though. I may just try to find an atrix with just a broken screen or just forget about it all together. I've only had the phone for 3 weeks but stuff happens, consider it $500 down the drain .
Disassemble it, take a look at it, remove the corrosion manually. Use a heatgun on the components, but dont overheat it. Afterwards put together and check if battery still has power with a multimeter. Reassemble and plug into wall charger. See what happens

I say this is your best bet. Try this, or get someone with some electronics knowledge to take a look.
It beats just tossing it.
Either that or put it up on ebay and try to recoup some money. someone with a broken screen, or camera might want to buy it for parts.
Last night i was out, and well basically my phone isnt working and im 90% sure its water damage now, the screen has little white bits round the end, whats the best way to get it working again, because it wont turn on :/
sell it on ebay for parts and buy another one.

I concur.
My girlfriend knocked her phone off the counter into the toilet when she was sick (needless to say phone had some chunks on it as well). It was game over. luckily in US we are able to insure it and we are now getting a new one for the one time "low cost" of $125. 125 is better than a full retail, thats for sure. I made her call AT&T before just to see if we could weasel a SII on early upgrade, no dice.
Moral: Insurance ftw
First suck all the beer out of it! Want not waste not!

Best thing to do would have been to take out the battery/sim/sdcard and put in dry rice immediately, then leave overnight. Might not be too late either, but def should have done that right away. Right after I got my Captivate I got really drunk and accidentally soaked it, I didnt even realize it had gotten so wet until I woke up the next morning and tried to turn it on. It even tried to boot, showing the Samsung screen briefly then immediately turning off. Taking the battery door off there was water drops inside. After about 18 hours in rice I was soooo surprised that it booted right up and I havent had a problem out of it to this day!! I still use it all the time.

It wasnt even beer, it was just raining loads so it got soaked in my pocket
Thanks for the advice guys, i put it in dry rice so we'll see how that goes *fingers crossed*
So i have put it in dry rice, and well it booted up but the touch screen was unresponsive, and so was the fingerprint sensor leaving me with no way to actually use any of the phones features, i think there is a tiny bit of water left so im going to stick it in rice a bit longer but try and get the screen repaired if that doesnt help,
Is there anyway i can access the stuff on my phone using the usb connection maybe?
Sorry to hear about your phone. My son got pushed into a swimming pool with his Atrix in his pocket. It is fully functional today.
What we did.
Rice and a warm spot. Not for hours... It took a whole week before everything straightened out. There was an issue with the sim and sd card readers, but nothing an emery board didn't fix.
First mistake, you turned (tried to) it on. Second mistake...........you turned it on too soon after putting it in rice.
One day in dry rice is not enough. If you read guides about water damage you will see that you really should have the phone in dry ice for 5 days. Never ever plug it into the charger or turn it on before you do this. Only takes one wee drop of liquid to short something out.
Next, you should strip the phone down and clean everything internally to make sure you will not suffer from oxidation and corrosion in the future. Many phones will work after being in dry rice, only to succumb to corrosion after a few weeks or months because all the connectors inside became oxidized.
In short, water damage is horrible, but there are many guides on the internet specific to this outside of XDA which can help you. The iPhone water damage guides are especially useful, even though the hardware is different. The concept is exactly the same.
First rule is always do not attempt to turn the phone on, and do not plug into a charger.

Hope this helps, the phone that I mentioned, was turned on immediately after getting wet. His girlfriend was the smart one and pulled the battery for him.
We sat it in the rice and checked it every day by turning it on. (I am in no way recommending this btw, simply reporting an experience.). Each day it seems like it got better and better. The last two days everything was working, but there was still evidence of moisture on the screen. So we baked it for a few extra days. I did have an advantage over you. The outside temp was 100 plus and I sat his, in that bag of rice, on the hood of a red car everyday for most of the afternoon. It will most likely take longer with a cooler temp to work with.
We may have been 'lucky'. But this is so you know that there is a great chance that everything will be fine.
well, an update on my girlfriend's PUKE phone:
The day I posted that was I think thursday, we let is sit all thursday- friday- saturday. On sunday (around noon) she couldnt handle the Nokia 3360 any longer. When she left for her "mani/pedi", I sat down with the poor phone. After a little cleaning of contacts and such I was able to get it to boot and come up. When she got home it was up and going. She was thrilled and I got a "reward".
She used it all Sunday and today until the insurance joint came in. The only thing that didnt totally dry was the screen. It looked like pure hell, but worked. She said anythign was etter than the old green screen nokia
PS- she had tried to turn it on friday and got a "Modem Failed to Initialize: Starting RSD". Sunday it worked fine.
i dropped my phone in the toilet. managed to take it out. it was still in the power on state. removed battery asap! whats next?? shall i get it some heat, hair drier or bulb ?? how many day do i need to keep this phone in the rice? also im not an expert in disassembling!!! any suggestions?
I've heard up to a week but a couple days will probably work. I would probably just use a can of compressed air. Hair dryers can create enough heat to loosen the adhesive for screens on phones. Maybe place it near a vent or put it on a window sill with sunlight?

So last night was messing with my TF201 and got up to go unload the dishwasher, so I threw my tablet in my computer chair (screen down). I came back 5 minutes later and sat down (it was dark in my computer room) - it didn't take long to realize I was sitting on something hard, then I realized I was on my tablet and I jumped up. It all worked fine when I turned it on, so I thought I was lucky and got out unscaffed.
I am now at work today and just went to plug in my tablet to charge it and noticed the little metal strip above the charger is cracked and bent in at a "V"??? (I tried bending it back, but it snapped off about a 1 inch strip)...... Upon further inspection, my whole tablet is slightly bent (screen is bent up in middle).
I tested everything again and It all works fine (charges, camera works, ect...), but I am wondering if I should try to bend it back or just leave it as is since it all works fine? I'm just afraid it's putting extra tension on the screen and will make it more fragile and pron to breaking..... But then again, trying to bend it back may break it too.
I've probably answered my own question (leave it alone), but wanted to see what you guys thought?
Thanks, Jason
Hi, if I were you I wouldn't push it From my experience, every time I tried fixing something that wasn't entirely broken, I just damaged it further. Just treat the tablet more carefully in the future and enjoy the experience.

Great minds...
I am having a problem after my phone was dropped in water. The phone is now fully dry but I am having battery issues. It seems that the phone believes the battery to be empty all the time. I can charge it whilst the phone is off until it states it is at 100% but as soon as i turn it on it says the battery is at 0% and turns off even whilst plugged in.
I have flashed a few different roms to see if the software had any bearing on it. The only difference I got was with CM 10.1 I was able to run the phone whilst it was plugged in but as soon as I unplugged it died.
I have tried the battery in other phones and it works fine and I have tried batteries from other phones (ones that I know are fine) and it says they are empty.
I did have one case when the phone came on and stayed. The battery level stuck at about 70% and never decreased over 24 hours. As soon as I rebooted it it said it was empty.
To me it seems like the bit of hardware that checks the battery level is failing. I have opened up the phone and given it a clean but no joy.
Any Ideas?
Yes since sensitive electronic components dont seem to mix well with water youll have to replace them.
Start with the usb board,then maybe motherboard if nothings changed.
Can anyone point out on the boards which bits are responsible for power management.
Also where would I be able to get replacement boards from?
TheUnderling posted a link to the service manual a week or so ago, search through his recent posts to find it. That has schematics/parts lists in it.
Re: getting another board, your best bet is to find a screen damaged phone on eBay or similar, Samsung aren't in the business of selling just motherboards (they'll charge you maybe half of what a new phone would cost to replace it).
You could see if Kevin Costner is going to make Waterworld 2,then he could maybe buy it off you.
You can get a new s2 now for £199.99 from Orange.

Sorry,I shouldnt make jokes about it.What to do is take it to the man from atlantis and get a quote for a repair.
I don't mind you making jokes actually. It means you keep bumping my question to the top of the boards and then maybe someone who actually is helpful may help me out.
You got your help. The motherboard (at the very least) is cactus. And maybe other components. What else are you hoping for anyone else to tell you ? You dropped the phone in water, think about it. Ain't rocket surgery.

Hes got to start "splashing" the cash on a battery>usb board for starters.
And whos to say it aint going to end up in water again.
Best to sell the phone on and hope a mug buys it.
I guess I was juts hoping for more positive suggestions rather than sarcastic comments
Theres no point in having a go at me or mistahbungle,its "water off a ducks back" to us.
Youve been advised what to get(if you must)....in cheapest order.You can hit the search button and see threads about water damage which will give you an idea of solutions.
Ive read 100's of posts about water damage and some people have not had any problems.
So as things stand,your looking at spending between £8 to £150.
Let's see if we can get this going.

I must of lucked out then, my phone was in this state after running benchmarks back to back. I kept plugging and unplugging from wall charger and pressing power button. After many times it finally showed charging animation and eventually booted.

I've heard that it sometimes comes back to life if you leave it alone or get it reasonably cold.
When it happened to me I left it unplugged for 24hrs, and got nothing but the looping LG cycle. Left it plugged in looping for 24hrs and no go.
Left it off the majority of the day before I got tools, got off work, shopped, got home, still cycled, so I figured screw it at that point, and went for the battery pull. Powered up instantly after.
I'm not sure just how long it would take to drain, considering it would be doing nearly nothing in the off state. Then again I've heard of people somehow charging it like that for a few hours and having it work also. Good luck regardless though.

From that, it makes me want to put the damn thing in the freezer lol. But that risks moisture damage. Anyway, do you know what actually causes this to happen? i mean, it was supposed to just be a Build.prop tweak. After every other soft brick, i could let it sit, go into recovery, and just restore from a back-up. But letting go of that, Could i just plug it in, and leave it in download mode for a few day/week whatever until the battery dies? Failing that, how would i recharge my phone afterward?
UPDATE:Checked my screwdriver set, have t4,5,6. If all else fails, ill go for the pull.

Yeah no freezer, you can get it relatively cold just placing it in the stream of cold air from your house or car A/C for 3-5 minutes.
I do not know what causes it to happen, now to be clear, it's the brick where it will not power on at all unless usb is plugged in correct?
Also, I think it actually charges in download/fastboot mode. I may be mistaken though.
The phone should start charging itself afterward with little issue, if you successfully drained it anyway. (again I remember reading a few posts awhile back about people who accidentally ran there phones to 0 battery and ALSO got the weird loop syndrome.) I think it was MysteryEmotionz that mentioned that you could leave it for a few hours in fastboot/download and it would be ok to start charging again.

Just go slow, reaaaaly slow when pulling the back cover off, and be sure NOT to use your finger to pry the battery connector up, so it doesn't come off the board. Also, do find a TORX for the pesky bottom screws, so you don't end up stripping them. Best of luck, you'll be fine.
If you're really hesitant to try, just take it back to where you got it if you have insurance, considering you're wiped at this point..

Yeah I was crazy paranoid the first time, just keep working around and shim something under the tabs you do get to pop open.
Second time I did it in like 2 minutes start to finish. I do remember the first time that you can hear the glass as you stress it, it is more flexible than you think but surface area is gonna be key when you start prying. WORST worse case, you break it, and get a cheap replacement on ebay or ignore it outright and get a body glove case for it.
I gave up on using it without a case, the glass is pretty but its way too slick, that phone can slide off of a 1 degree slope I swear.

The only reason it came up so far is because it stuck to the case as it was lifted. But i got it down it was simple, unscrew all the little philips, lift up on the Plastic cover, jimmy the camera and boom. i'm gonna put it back together and let you know what happens.

Sounds good, glad its working again. The only thing that made it do this to me was thermal, and I was purposely overclocked to the wall doing benches at the time. When the option is available, in for example most of houstonn's ROM's / Kernels, I set the thermal throttle to max at 60 degrees in trickster mod, and in my experience, dvhexer's kernels behave really well in regards to automatic throttle based on thermal.
Editing a build prop setting itself should have made zero change until a reboot anyway. Were you crazy undervolted maybe? I'm just curious cause I'm always trying to avoid having to take the phone apart if I don't have to.

When the option is available, in for example most of houstonn's ROM's / Kernels, I set the thermal throttle to max at 60 degrees in trickster mod, and in my experience, dvhexer's kernels behave really well in regards to automatic throttle based on thermal.
Editing a build prop setting itself should have made zero change until a reboot anyway. Were you crazy undervolted maybe? I'm just curious cause I'm always trying to avoid having to take the phone apart if I don't have to.

Nope! Completely fresh install of beanstalk. Well not completely, i did install Gapps and do all the updates via wifi. But first thing i do on new ROM is check out the settings. but as soon as i checked that TCP option, it just bricked! Anyway, I appreciate your help, saved my ass. I think i'll stay away from beanstalk for now. Kernel maybe not supported? Or did i just get unlucky. in any case, thanks. 5star advice sir.
