Edited because I was steaming drunk and it didn't make sense.
So I went out and had a few to many drinks last night. Walking back I stumbled into a wall while texting which resulted in me dropping my phone on the floor and chipping and scratching the phone casing down to what appears to be silver.
Fortunately the phone is ok, but as I'm a bit of a perfectionist I won't be able to rest until It's fixed.
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks for pointing me here. I've looked at the guide and I don't know if is be confident enough to do it myself. If I paid HTC, would they replace it for me?

Offcourse... how much to pay, that is the question. If you pay them enough, they just give you a new phone ; ).

Only camera I have is my phone. The screen is fine, would've got chipped if I didn't have a screen protector on.
It's literally just the edges of the phone and most of the purple faceplate.

My guess is well over £100 from HTC.
The only risky thing that I can see in doing it yourself is removing the digitiser.
They could have made the build so as everything is not housed/mounted on to the inside of front fascia though.
Had my desire since day one, and recently noticed if i turn my phone over there the edge of the plastic is not smooth anymore it has crumbled a little.bit, I checked my friends phone, he has had his as long as me and his has went the same.
I use a silicon cover and I charge my phone every night minimum.
Anyone else noticing this on there desire??

please help....my wildfire s restarts itself when i get calls,but its ok to when i charge it...it fell in the water. Is there a way to sort this out.
Contact customer support. Only they can help you if its a liquid damage. Or you can try to remove all the water by using a heatgun or keep your phone in sunlight for few hour

Everything works fine not sure if its the battery which might be causing the problem. I have contacted them and told me to change the internal pc is causing it, but i don't think so, its out of warrenty so thats gonna cost me. Any suggestions.

i think you are talking about the adhesive just under the battery,it is there only to fix the battery to the cover, you can use your phone like that, i don't think this will bring any problem
dont worry it will do just fine
thank you for your answer

Hey
So I just damaged my phone, with some water, though it was not much, and not at all submerged or anything.
At first, my screen flickered, but after a while it just died, and now it doesn't charge or anything either.
Anyways, i'm put it in rice in the hopes that it may be working by tomorrow, but for the time being, I would like to know, that if I was to send it in for warranty, is there a water damage indicator?
I saw this thread, but I can't seem to find that strip, I assume because that is the AT&T/Telstra version, where as mine is the International Unlocked One (S720e)
Bottom line, is there a water damage indicator on the One X? If yes, where is it? And is it triggered by the slightest of moistures, or only if the phone is completely submerged?
Would really appreciate an answer, Thanks in advance
Cheers
There is no water damage lable. We call them LDI, but if there is liquid on your pcb it will be found.

IM confused, what is the LDI and PCB? And where are they?
cheers
Sorry LDI is short for liquid damage indicator and pcb is your mainboard. In short you will not get away with it of you send it in for repair

But the thing is, I put it in rice, so the moisture or water will be gone, but I'm afraid the battery might be shorted, so if there's no moisture, there is a chance they'll repair it?
And also, there is no LDI in the ONe X?
Thanks

Did you put it in rice or something?
And right after the spilling, did it turn off or something?
Because mine wont turn on or show any signs of life...

Mine had some water on it a couple of months ago, but now the camera has stopped working, (its all green and flickering)
When I send it in for repair, they refused to repair it due to water dammage.
Is there anny way to force them into fixing my phone?

Give them money!!
Seriously, if they know it's damaged by water then there's no way to force them to fix under warranty .

A water damaged phone is always considered beyond economical repair as any and most likely all the parts would need replacing.
Basically it costs more to repair it than it would cost to buy a new phone.. So they don't bother with water damaged stuff. Best way, is if you do damage with liquid, to turn it off immediately and remove battery for at least 24 hours and preferably more whilst it dries (in rice etc or a specialised phone drying bag, you can easily find these online)
But generally, if you try to use it whilst wet it's gonna be short circuiting everything and breaking a lot of things (some permanently and some only until it's dry) which is the mistake most people make.

If my memory serves me correctly the LDI is at the base of the earphone jack

LOL ... the time you need to squeeze out the hox battery is long enough to let the hox drown slowly in his own moist !

So as long as I understand: There is no LDI under the sim tray on Telstra version of One XL, is that true?
I ask this just incase I misunderstanding you.
