Hello everyone!
Since I was tired of some bugs experienced on my Pixel 6 and after I discovered that the beta 4.1 was going to fix most of them, I decided to flash the image download from Google here.
I did this kind of thing a lot of time in the past, so I'm not new about flashing factory images, but something went wrong.
After having followed all the steps that Google recommend, the phone restarted and then got stuck on the white screen with the Google name/logo.
I waited several minutes but nothing happened, so I rebooted the phone (the only way was by pressing volume up and power button), re-flashed the beta but the same happened.
So I decided to try to flash the last stock android 12 image, but than, when the phone rebooted, I was alerted with a black screen and a message that says that the device is corrupt and to go to this site.
After continuing before the alert message, the situation was the same and the phone was stuck in the white screen with Google name/logo.
Now the battery is completely discharged and the phone doesn't charge, so I'm unable to do anything.
I'm 100% sure I flashed the correct images for Pixel 6 (oriole), the laptop is a MacBook Pro with an Anker cable I already used for the same thing and worked perfectly, the battery was at 70% when I did the first flash.
Any suggestion?
Thank you
I have never used any beta version of android, but one tool that i have found very useful is the android flash tool. https://flash.android.com/
In order to use this tool, I believe you at least need to get to recovery (hold power + vol down buttons).
Sorry for all the troubles you are having.

Thank you for your reply, I knew the tool also if I never used it.
The problem at the moment is that the device doesn't charge and turn on, otherwise I would also try the pixel repair site

Sorry to hear. I don't have any suggestions. It seems crazy that any amount of flashing issues would fully remove the ability to charge.

Have you tried to keep the charger plugged for 2-3 hours?
I had the same issue, but I had to force my pixel 6 to recovery mode.
Another thing I may suggest is in case you are not able to charge it:
Plug 65W charger (laptop charger) through usb-C port to pixel for 10 minutes.
You maybe discharged the battery completely, so a small boost my charge it.

I tried with the original charger for maybe one hour, then with an old 1 amp iphone charger but nothing happened. Now I try, like you suggest, with a 65W and maybe let it plugged for a couple of hours and see what happen.
What should I do? Just let the phone plugged in and wait the battery icon to appear on the screen or try to turn on the phone with power button/combo of buttons?
Thanks
I'm in the exact same boat, but on a raven. Any luck on recovering from this BS situation?

If anyone has information about this thread. Please guide me below. I am very confused about that.
Can open it and attempt to charge the battery manually, or order new battery which should have some charge and replace the old.

Ok I'm really bitter right now. My wife and I each have an S2. Mine has been fine for the last 2 months and hers recently starting having problems. It keeps thinking that a USB cable is plugged in.
A Google search reveals that this is indeed a common hardware problem.
When you do a restart, you get the battery icon and flashing yellow triangle with the thermometer symbol. And the only way to get it to boot up is to plug it in.
The device functions fine other than that, but other than connecting to Kies via USB, there is no other USB related functions that is working.
Gonna give Samsung support a call and see how I can warranty this. Hoping it's not going to be a painful process.
Anyone else having the same problem? How did you resolve it? New replacement? Did they repair? How long did it take? What did you do?
Thanks.
I have the same problem, started with me recently, I had my phone with USB debugging mode on.
Can't confirm when it started for sure, but it may have been because I disconnected it from my computer once, before ejecting the device through windows explorer.
In any case, I can't turn on the phone now without removing the battery or having it plugged in.
I received the battery at 100% notification and it doesn't leave when I unplug the device.
It's become very flaky, and I don't like it. Did you have any luck with Samsung support?
Anyone have any information on this or another link to how to fix this? I'm getting the temperature gauge and can't figure out how to fix it!!

Brother had the same problem. Try adjusting the piece in the USB port of the phone either up or down. I used a small flat head screwdriver. Make sure the phone is off and battery out.
I'm not responsible for any further damage to the phone.

To get around it boot into recovery then choose restart phone. (hold power + volume up + home button)

Yeah - get a replacement.
I had similar issues with mine. Took it to Carphone warehouse in uk. And they replaced usb port within 30 mins. Its a common fault.
Try to clean USB port.
This morning I just noticed this problem with my phone and I also noticed that under the battery stats it shows that the phone is always charging.
If I reboot the phone sometimes I lose about 20% from the battery, but then it starts to recharge although the phone is not plugged in.
I will try to change the battery with a friend of mine, maybe it's battery related, I will report back.
I suppose that the problem of discharging is:
A) when connected it can't enter in deep sleep mode
B) vbus_present eating battery
Inviato dal mio GT-I9100
So here goes:
Had been running UnNamed 1.3.1 with Entropy's DD 11/23 (conservative gov. and stock clocking - setCPU not installed) and CB650 Wolf's ICS Theme for about 3 days with zero issues. Monday night I decided I wanted to try out Jivy's ICScreweD theme - so I did the following:
a) cleared cache and dalvik, and re-flashed UnNamed 1.3.1 to revert the Wolf ICS theme to stock UnNamed. Rebooted to CWM
b) re-flashed Entropy's DD 11/23 kernel. Rebooted, and then replaced lights.so to re-activate BLN using root explorer. Rebooted to CWM again.
c) flashed Jivy's ICScreweD theme.
At that point, all appeared normal.
Yesterday, was in a meeting most of the day with no service in the building, so phone was in airplane mode most of the day. After the meeting, battery life seemed slightly poor, but I chalked this up to the first day after the flash.
When I plugged the phone into the stock charger cord / wall wart at the end of the day, phone wouldn't charge. Tried a couple different cords, no change. Powered phone down, plugged in while powered off - phone powered back up fully on it's own, and appeared to take a charge.
Took phone off charger this morning, indicating full charge. Used it for about 20 minutes before leaving the house, appeared to be under normal battery drain (at 98% when I left) and drove to work. Got to work (about an hour later), phone would not wake up - sleep of death type behavior. 10 second long press on power got it to re-boot - and it came up at 41% battery. Did a battery pull, and came back up to 46% on reboot. plugged into PC with non-OEM cable to charge - phone not indicating that it was taking a charge. Tried 3 different USB ports on the PC, no change and no charging. Powered phone off and plugged into PC - phone automatically powered back up fully, and now appears to be taking a charge.
I'm quite certain the power-up when plugged in is a known issue on this ROM (at least I think I saw a couple people post about this) and I can't confirm this wasn't it's behavior prior to switching themes - normally I don't shut down to charge - only did this time because of the no charging while plugging in while powered up.
The only thing I can think of that might have triggered this wonky behavior is that I did the whole round of reflash/kernel/theme flashing with the device plugged into the wall wart charger. Coming from an Aria, this was an absolute no-no (and was frequently repeated as such in the forums over there) but I hadn't seen anything about it being a problem on these forums, nor in my very brief perusal of the Cappy forums for my wife's prior phone.
Anyone think the plugged in while flashing thing is the problem? Any other thoughts?
Thanks,
DD
Couple of troubleshooting things I would try if it was mine. If you have a nandroid backup taken before a b c above, try that first, and next try going back to straight stock. I know it's a pain, but less than a malfunctioning phone. Certainly hope it's not a hardware issue.
Thanks for the input Creepyncrawly, much appreciated.
Sadly I was too lazy to make a nandroid right before this most recent flash, but I do have one from a couple weeks ago with S8.2, which I made before switching over to UnNamed. That setup had no issues, just switched because I wanted to try UnNamed. So that is an option for me. As of now I'm going to try to get through the rest of today at least as-is, to see if the behavior continues to be consistent or if it is more intermittent in nature...
As far as going back to straight stock, I think I would be inclined to work my way back there if the nandroid doesn't sort out the issue; i.e. go to UnNamed 1.3.1 with Entropy DD 11/23 first, if that doesn't fix it, then go to UnNamed 1.3.1 with it's built in DD 11/13 kernel, then if that doesn't fix it I'd go to stock.
I am certainly no expert when it comes to flashing these devices, but it seems to me that if artifacts are getting left behind from one ROM to the next through the flashing process and causing problems occasionally, it shouldn't much matter whether I go straight back to stock or progress back there in stages...somebody whack me over the head if I'm wrong here....
DD
And continued weirdness;
Upon unplugging from PC after charging was complete just now, device indicated it was still connected to USB. Reboot got rid of the notification indicator that it was still plugged in, and lost 2% battery (battery loss probably normal...)
Final update:
Tried full wipes and installs of several ROMs, as well as a clean install of Unnamed 1.3.1 followed by Entropy's 12/01 Kernel update. Strange behavior continued to get stranger. By Friday the phone was randomly indicating switching into and out of dock mode at very frequent (approx 1 sec. cycle) intervals at random times. Still typically able to get it to charge by powering off then plugging in.
Called ATT and got them to approve a warranty replacement after some useless over the phone troubleshooting.
Initial attempts to reboot into download mode to flash back to complete stock for the warranty return via the hold volume up/down and plug into USB failed - would only result in a normal boot - got the device into download mode courtesy of the extended power menu (thanks for including DL mode GTG!), and reflashed stock unrooted firmware.
After flashing to complete stock, download mode via volume buttons/usb plugging continued to fail, and the device continued to randomly enter/leave dock mode.
I can only believe it is actually a hardware failure issue - but I do have a couple of logcats of when the device was doing the in/out of dock mode, if anyone is interested in seeing them...
Replacement should be here today or tomorrow...
That behavior screams "bad USB port" to me - yeah I think you had a hardware failure there.
My phone seems to think there is a USB plugged in constantly. Started about two days ago, my phone does not sleep at all.
I called att and they are going to warranty exchange it. Just waiting for my jig.

Moustro -
your battery graph is quite similar to what mine looked like the day I took the logcats, though mine was more square-wave rather than saw-tooth looking. dramatic ups and downs were there tho.
Frequently had mine in my pocket during the craziness, so I'm not sure really how frequently it would wake then re-sleep with the cycling docked status thing...
Wonder if there is a bad batch of USB ports in these things out there. Mine was purchased on launch day. Any dangers to posting S/N info online when not attached to IMEI?
FWIW, my respiffied warranty replacement seems to be of very slightly better build quality (buttons feel slightly smoother in operation, mfg. tolerances around the back plate are a hair tighter (using the backplate from the original device as all they sent me for the replacement was the chassis - no back or battery).
That's why I posted here. Thank you for the feedback. My phone does not go into deep sleep at all. The green charging line is there constantly. Reflashed a couple nandroids, I went as far as to go back to stock w/o root and reformatted my internal sdcard as well. Nothing helped.
So, let me start
Few weeks ago my phone hard-bricked when i was trying my softbricked (Rom manager fault) O1 unbrick with KDZ. But it is just the start. So my phone was left at service to unbrick it for almost two weeks. When i got my phone , it was running some 2.2 official ROM, but it was strange, filled up with russian applications and widgets. I didn't liked that, so i updated my optimus to 2.3.x (The newest version, but don't remember which) to have the new baseband. Then with super one click rooted, and through terminal i installed CWM (5.0.2.0). Then flashed the newest oxygen. My phone was very unstable. It was just shutting down for no reason, restarting, (and i also got two times kernel panic, when it was clocked just to 748mHz) especially when i was using it. Also battery lasted not long, so i wiped batery stats, but it not helped. So i decided to flash new ROM. I fully wiped everything, and flashed PerfectPeso 2.2. Then flashed fixed scripts, GAPPS, New kernel. IT was also VERY unstable, so i thought old version PerfectPeso is not compatible with new kernel (PP.kernel v1.7), so again i wiped everything and flashed PP 2.3, then GAPPS, new Kernel, Fixed scripts. It was still not stable as it should be.. In the morning phone was just turned off, so i turned it on. In battery stats there were strange things: battery just came down 10 percents as i turned it on, and also it doesn't showed it was turned off at night not all. Phone was connected to charger all night. In a day it was just keeping shutting down, but just then, when the screen was turned on. After that, when i came home, it just turned off, and not turned on, even no LG logo when trying to turn it on (It turned off in my hands, when 20% batt were left). So i just kept trying to turn it on, by removing batt, reconnecting the charger. AND IT TRUNED ON !! but after few moments it went down again. I started trying again to turned it on, it turned on again, just in few attempt's. My phone was showing that 23 percents still were left... So i fully charged it, when i did that i tried to calibrate battery, like the manual said (i typed in su, then calibrate into terminal) but calibrator said i have to turn my phone off, and when it boots, i have to remove batt, and then put it in. I did it few times (with the calibrator help). I thought everything is fine. (But i wanted more performance, so i made EXT2 in my SD, then tried to enable ungaze a2sd by typying into terminal A2SD, but nothing hapened. Then, i tried To ZIPALIGN all APK's Manually, by commands: "su", and then "zpall". The command did something, no errors. Then i wanted to get rid of boot logo by trettet, because it not looked very good, so i went to Settings and disabled my bootlogo. Then i just started playing gta III (now phone was only on default cpu clock speed, because i disabled overclocking on boot, and turned it on when i needed it). Then I pressed home key, opened Dolphin browser, and my phone went down (as usual). Then tried to turn it on, but no signs of life, i did it for over 20 times, but still no luck from yesterday. Can anyone help me to solve this ?
Also, i don't think it is fully bricked, because when i connecting the charger to my phone, phone battery pins gives me around 2.35 V (but when it was full bricked few weeks ago, it gave me no voltage)
Thank you
p.s. sorry for my terrible English
ahaha yes very funny (sarcasm) -.-
Cool story bro..
Can anyone test full-bricked device, what voltage comes to battery pins, when phone is plugged to charger ?
Thanks for the changed name )

But i still need to know, how to test if my phone is really bricked :/. I know, it sounds a little bit strange, but i can't explain everything in English because of the lack of knowledge of English words ;DD

Well, you can have hard brick or soft brick...
If it has a hardware brick, it is unknown how will it react, best to go to a service...
If it is software brick, try flash stock GB with kdz... if not then it is bricked, go to a service center...

I know. And also, today i thought that i could try to trun it on, so i took the phone, tried to turn on, but nothing. Then I took the battery out, shaked my phone and "Clapped" it into my leg, inserted the battery, pressed on button and.. the phone showed LG logo !!!
Then it went down, then I plugged in the charger. It charged a for few min. Then i powered on my phone, it turned on succesfully, so i just layed the phone on the table, to charge (It was 4% at the time). After few mi. i took the phone and it was turned off. I tried to turn it on, but no signs of life. So again, my phone is "dead". It is no truning on anymore, and shaking, pulling batt out doesn't seem to help. What should i do ?

so, another thing: The phone in yesterday evening started working normally (Exept few turn-offs), i left it charging till this morning. In morning phone was not active, i turned it on by reinserting batt, but phone showed just 75% batt left, even if it was plugged in whole night. Can anyone help me to remove all this sh*t ?
Also I tried few ROMs, but same. Maybe KDZ would help me if it is baseband problem ?
Or maybe it is hardware problem ?
I would be very happy if someone could help me with this
(last time KDZ bricked my phone, so i don't want to use it anymore)

Hey,
Major issue I'm facing today. I first noticed this about 2 days ago, I'm currently running Resurrection Remix 2.0 and has been installed for about a week? with no issues.
Two days ago, I put my phone on to charge at night, as usual. Woke up the next morning and by mid morning Noticed my battery was at 15%, When I checked the battery stats, It looked as If the battery had not charged ( I'm pretty sure it had been on charge, but put it down to the fact that It wasnt plugged in correctly)
Next Day, (last night) I put it on charge, and checked it was definitely on charge, which it was. I woke up this morning to find the exact problem, this time at 50%, When I remove the power cable the charging animation still continues.
I turn the power off, Remove the battery and wipe battery stats and start back up, over the next 20 minutes the battery stats increase my battery percentage (not charging) and then continue to drop later on.
Tonight my phone had drained its battery, thought it would be best to drain it, leave it off on charge and turn it back on. I've come to turn it back on removed the power cable and now it will not turn on but constantly loop through the Charging animation icons..
Does anyone know the fault for this or even a fix? I cant boot into my rom, or even CWM
urgent help needed!! thanks in advance

Do you have a screen shot of the battery usage? And it sounds like you have an issue with the charging port. Clean it with a dry toothbrush
Sent from my GT-P7510 using xda premium
may be a kernel change would also help u ...
Pretty straightforward really. Either a battery problem (less likely) or a problem with the USB/charging circuitry (more likely; we see it on here all the time).
Try another battery & see if you can get the phone to boot. Otherwise, service centre.
As KMs said, you might as well clean the USB port while you're at it, and then try a new battery (at least you'll have a spare when you get it back from repair).

As KMs said, you might as well clean the USB port while you're at it, and then try a new battery (at least you'll have a spare when you get it back from repair).

Okay tried cleaning it with a tooth brush but no luck, the phones been playing up all day, still saying its charging even though Its not plugged in lol. Just got back home to back everything up do a full wipe and update the rom to the latest version+ kernel and its not even being recognised by USB, it'll charge, but not recognise
Is this a common problem with the S2 then? that the usb fails/malfunctions?
Think I'm gonna have to take it back to three on Monday, hopefully get it repaired/replaced asap ( but will need to flash back to original stock ROM + Kernel first!)
We've seen our share (I've seen at least a couple of dozen) of these in Q&A over the time I've been here (~8 mths), yeah.

Cheers, Thanks for your Help. I'll let you know the outcome on Monday.
no point starting a new thread.
So Does anyone Know where I can get the original (HG3) Three UK ROM for Samsung Galaxy S2?
I don't want Three to say that because I've put a custom ROM on it I've voided my warranty
Here, Samfirmware.com or you can get the latest firmware for phone model/country/carrier that you'd normally get via OTA update with the PC version of Checkfus (search for it on here/Google).
Thanks again for all your help.
finally got some screen shots off my phone,
here's the battery stats if anyone's interested

Downloaded the firmware, however I cant seem to find how to update OTA, Its given me a .tar which I could use Odin to upgrade, However as I cant get it to read from USB I cannot get Odin to detect my device
That's probably due to the USB circuitry problems you seem to be having. Might want to use Mobile Odin (get it from Google Play) to flash the firmware. If it's an ICS stock rom, you should be able to use Triangle Away to reset the flash counter.
Hey guys..im also experiencing the same problem.....sometimes charging stopped halfway....when i check with the "battery widget" it says overvoltage (with " ! " symbol)....
is it because the firmware problem or usb port or charger problem ? any solution? Tq in advance guys !
Did you even bother to read the thread ? Go back to stock & see if this resolves the problem. Then clean the USB port with an unused toothbrush or similar. Try a new battery. Try a new charger. And if none of these fixes things, service centre.

of course i read the thread bro I was thinking of a solution besides sending it to service centre since ive already rooted my phone ~~
My battery has just been 4 month ~~
maybe i"ll try cleaning the port 1st as u suggest ~~
will give feedback A.S.A.P.
tq XD
Hi everyone, i have just spent the whole day searching about this problem and i have not found solution, and things that worked for some people, won't work for me.
Hope you guys can help.
I'm going to tell you the events before i had this issue so you can get a lot of info about what posibbly happened:
1. I was tired of my phone being slow and some apps didn't worked for it because it had Android 2.2.2 Froyo and was never updated.
2. I decided to update installing Neutrino 2.9 by Notorius : Thread .
3. When i was trying to install the custom recovery i did something wrong and had to flash a Stock rom using RSDLite.
4. The rom that i installed was a Stock rom from Personal Argentina 2.3.6 Gingerbread.
5. After flashing this rom, the battery won't charge over 93% or something like that.
6. I wanted the phone to reach more battery % so i did something that read here at xda.
7. While the phone was off and charging, i removed the battery and once it showed the "?" symbol, i put back the battery, so it showed 5% and i panicked!!! because the tutorial said i had to install some zips from the recovery and when i tried to get into the recovery (i had already installed CMW) it didn't loaded the recovery. I pulled off the battery and try many times to get in the recovery but i couldn't so i powered on the phone an let it charge for hours but it didn't worked.
8. I was getting crazy so i tried to calm down and do some research here at xda, i was reading for hours until i found This thread , the guy said the the only thing that i had to do was waiting for the app to show approximately 4200mV and hit fix, it should fix the problem:

"lightbox_next": "Next",

"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
in my case, percentage shown was 8% and when i hit the fix, it raised 2 or 3 points (remember this numbers) i guess, but didn't fixed it at all (100%) so i started hitting fix every 10 minutes after being sure that the voltage was 4200 or above.
9. While doing this fix thing every while, i saw that every time it raised 3 or 2 points at the percentage shown, (the whole process was done with the phone plugged into the wall charger). I sttoped when the percentage shown was 97% because i was afraid it would cross to some 100%+ percentage, and 97% was nice for me.
10. After fixing the battery indicator issue, i decided to follow carefully a tutorial too install Neutrino rom 2.9 EE that i mentioned before.
11. The whole process was great and i successfully installed the Neutrino Rom i was happy and everything was fine.
12. When i was looking around the features of the new rom, the phone freezed and rebooted i thougt that maybe i was touching so many settings that it became unstable,although i didn't touch anything about processor speed , so i power on again and after a while another reboot , and another and another, i started to get mad at this and tried to find out what was causing this reboots.
13. Suddenly i had an idea and pulled off the microsd card, after this, the phone was like 9-10 hours without any rebooting and i was playing and installing several apps, and checking some tweets and facebook and everything was fine.
14 After like 11 hours since the last reboot, the phone rebooted again and this made me mad again.
15. I turned on the phone again and i saw it had like 40% of battery left, so i plugged it and let it for an hour, when i checked back the battery level, it was at 92%, so i let it for about half an hour more and it had again 92% of battery.
16. So i thougth, well during the flashing process the battery indicator got miscalibrated again, so... (pay attention to this) i run the app that fixed my problem at (see step 8 and 9 above) , it was at 92% and remember i saw that it "jumped" like 2 or 3% off battery shown, but instead, it jumped to 100% and battery shown jumped from 92% to 177% i panicked!! (again), and unplugged the phone.
17. I continued using the phone normally and before going to bed i plugged the phone.
18. After like 2 hours charging, i went to check the phone back and it was DEAD
So i tried this:
1. Plug the phone to the wall charger ---> RESULT: nothing happened.
2. Plug the phone to the wall charger without battery ---> RESULT: nothing happened.
3. Plug the phone to the PC via usb with battery ---> RESULT: green led turns on for 1 seconds and then goes off
4. Plug the phone to the PC via usb without battery ---> RESULT: green led turns on and stays turned on, until i put back the battery
5. Plug the phone to the wall charger (samsung galaxy s3 1mA) ---> RESULT: nothing happened.
6. Plug the phone to the wall charger without battery (samsung galaxy s3 1mA) ---> RESULT: nothing happened.
I hope some of you can help with this, i've read a lot of posts but they are from 2011 or 2012, i'm making this one because non of those gave any help. Thank you very much for your atenttion.
That's very strange...
But the random reboots you are having an neutrino are not your fault, I had those two... I think sometimes it just hang on the deep sleep and wouldn't turn on so I'd have to pull battery and then boot up again. Maybe that's your problem, too, try pulling battery.
If this doesn't fix it, does long press on power do anything?
In the end you could still charge the battery externally though you'd have to look what voltage you need and which pins you need to connect.
As far as the 100+ percentage goes, that is reasonably normal. It happens to everyone sooner or later (me included), and mostly happens if you choose to restart the service instead of rebooting the device. A reboot should help (always does for me). But even if it doesn't, there's no reason to panic - it's just a number. It does not mean your battery is being severely overcharged lol.
I see you're using an older version of the app. You should try upgrading. Not to say a newer version will make any kind of difference, but hey, newer is better, right?

1. I already pulled the battery but it didn't helped me.
2. Long press on power does nothing.
3. I'm looking for someone who can tell me if the battery is ok using a multimeter
but i think it's very strange, because even without battery the phone should turn on screen when plugged to the wall charger.
4. Thank you.

1. Thank you for clarifying about the percentage shown thing.
2. The screenshot that i posted is from the app thread, my phone doesn't turn on .
3. I had installed 0.40 version.
4. Thank you

1. Oops didn't realize that you connected your phone to pc without battery, Sorry
2. Ok, was just a theory
3. It should be alright, (if you know which pins to connect ) but you can read through this guide.
4. You're welcome (but the thanks button is a lot easier...)
I hope you can get your phone to work again, but if charging via multimeter doesn't help, you'd have to send it in I think
It's alive!!!
I'm glad to tell you that my phone is alive again, and the only thing that I did was, leaving it in a box with the battery in, and today I tried to turn it on and it turned on, the charging via wall charger is also working and everything seems to be fine. Thanks for the help.

Are you sure that your battery didn't get wet? maybe it is on short-circuit, if I was you I would change it.

I'm pretty sure that it didn't get any wet, I still don't know what happened but it is working perfectly. Thanks for your help!
