Xperia S dead by water damage?? - Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion

Hi guys,
Any help is welcome hete because I think my Xperia S is officialy dead . I have a complete white screen on my Xperia S. When I power on my phone I get a complete white screen. The splash screen (with Sony logo) does not show at all. Entering recovery by pressing up+powe does not work...only a white screen.
The phine is not rooted and has the original firmware. Since the phone was under warranty I have send it for repair...guess what...water damage was responsable for my phones death....
So after hearing this the first time I could not belibe it...I can guarantee that it didnnot have any contact with a drop of water. I have tried to fix it myself , without succes... things I have tried:
- connect with usb to PC ( found as media device, usb storage works )
- recovery (up+pwr) does not work, the phone vibrated 3 times and then nothing
- Sony Update Service , flashing completes but still nothing , only a white screen
Its a shame to throw a 5 months old phone away..as an android fan I want it to work because its a great phone...
Can anybody give me some helpfull tips or suggestions on what to do???
Thanks for readimg guys...

But he said he never dropped his phone in water. I would try to send the phone to repair again, if it's in warranty they have to prove that the phone got wet to damage it. If not they have to repair it.
Good luck man.

Boot loop after water (and piss) damage...

This morning my phone tried to commit suicide jumping in the toilets...
So, (i pass the details on how i put it out of it...) i tried to clean it and dry it whith a "towel dryer", and finally i opened it to dry the motherboard.
After butting pieces together i got the orange led when i charge the phone, but i got a boot loop when i power it on, and it won't even start if its not on charge.
I tried to go to bootloader mode but it's the same, i can barrely see the bootloader menu 1/2 second and then it reboots..
Any idea that could help me ? Thanks in advance
FUBAR - hardware damage. Send it to repair/replacement.
You want to put that next to your face still?
I studied uric acid ( urine ) as part of my degree, bar it being wonderful to look at ... perfect diamond crystals, it kills electrical circuits .
it' the way it "charged".. Ions etc , therefore as said before , if you did turn it on , you would of shorted out the system.
They will have to give you a new phone.. so it could be good news !!
Ok thanks, i will try the rice thing... if its not working i guess i will be stuck with a good old HTC Prophet until the Galaxy nexus is out...

Well, my phone stayed on my desktop this week-end, and this morning, it came back from the dead ! ( 4 days after the incident, in your face Jesus ! )
This phone is just legendary
Wow, the phone works after a dive into the peehole... Anyway, although it is still under warranty you can't replace it. They'll see the damage and they will charge you for it. I had mine replaced due to the overheating reboot problem and when i left it to the service they told me if it is damaged by me, either by drop or water i will have to pay.

If its like Apple , as the other have said , they will blame you , as you to pay . My work chum shut his phone in the car boot lock last year .. had to get a new screen , they blamed him .. he had to pay 80 quid to get a new screen ... ( the phone worked other wise .. and still does ! ) I have dropped my desire from my loft , it fell down the stairs and hit the front door... still all OK !!

Gray Screen with Dots

I have an Xperia Play R800i (o2)
Hi, a few weeks after rooting my Xperia Play I left it in the drawer for 3 days and it went really cold , so when I switched it on my screen had a grey screen with lots and lots of different colored dots everywhere so I quickly unrooted the phone. I forgot to mention than when I rooted my phone I changed the CPU through an app.
It happened every 20 minutes and when it did happen I used to slide the game pad up or press the power button a couple of times and it would go back to normal. And a few days ago I restored my phone to factory settings and now I cant get to the home screen and I also tried updating it using PC Companion but it still shows the screen .
So could someone please tell me if this is a hardware or software issue.
My phone is still locked to o2, I haven't unlocked the boot loader. And my warranty is still valid. I was going to go to the o2 store but thought if someone knew how to fix this because it might have been my fault a little because of me changing the CPU
p.s. I am a newbie to rooting. I followed steps off the internet.
Please someone reply and help me quickly. :good:
Oh no
I just got the exact same problem mate.
I get a weird grey screen every 20 mins just like you mentioned. And the only way I can get back to the normal screen is by sliding up the gamepad.
The phone is still usable but damn it feels like it might be dead soon.
Just to be safe im not going to restore like you did.

Yes, you might as well not and I contacted o2 and now I am going to go to the o2 store and get it fixed. And you might as well get it repaired as soon as possible or it will worsen.
My phone was bought on Amazon. I'll have to try a local shop maybe. If that doesn't work in not sure what I'll do.
Although at the moment it's working fine only getting the fuzzy screen like 3 times a day.

I contacted Sony they said I should try repairing from the sony Ericsson pc suite. He also said if that doesn't work you can send it in to repair. I was told that if it's a hardware problem then they would repair it for free. But if it's a water damage or dropped phone problem it's unrepairable and they would charge me £10.
Pretty pleased with that actually because I'm almost certain my mobile wasn't damaged by a drop or water. So it has to be an hardware issue.
If not then well in screwed.

This is the hardware problem. This is the tape connecting the screen with pad issue. Buy new tape, change and everything will be ok.
Well I have sent it in to Sony now. I'm sure Sony will fix it right?
If they do send it back unrepaired then I may think of doing this myself.

I went to the o2 store on monday and today I got it back and they didn't charge me and it works fine and it also has 90 day warranty with it. It came really fast. So those on o2 with the warranty send it and they'll fix it. And those on other networks send it in to get it checked if it is under the warranty and for those who don't have a warranty or insurance or whatever then it will cost you.

Well since i got my xperia from UK, and i Live in Portugal, and i left the papers there, Sony would charge me to get my phone fixed, well out of frustration, and since my phone didnt had Warranty, i said "f*ck it", my phone never had the yelow tint thing, i never let it drop on the floor, always use cover and the screen thinggy. i Disasembly all the mobile, and i noticed that at the bottom, some pins were like bent, and i saw on youtube that the same thing had all pins right.(Sorry i dont know the name of the thing im talking, all i know its the 2 things on the bottom that connect the lcd to something). Anyways, with 1 lil screwdriver, i managed to put all the pins straight, then i mount all the mobile, and Voilla!!Touch was working, i was so Happy man, i would had paid alot of money for 1 lil thing, and im sure sony would say they changed the LCD.
Well i hope this helps some1, if ur phone isnt in Warranty, dont be afraid to disasemble it, u might save a FEW EUROS/DOLLARS/POUNDS.

Mine is having intermittent problems too. So frustrating when you can't do anything at all (can't receive calls!) when the screen stops responding. Will try opening it up and see if the "pins" are not straight.
Thanks.
DO NOT FLASH YOUR PHONE IF YOU DONT KNOW HOW! If you haven't flashed your phone or anything but using it normally, than you can just go to a Sony center, tell them that your touchscreen isn't responding.
If you haven't flashed your phone before, your warranty has NOT been void! So you can go to a Sony center with your warrant.

(Fix) dead HTC one x

I don't know if this was posted but I couldn't find it so...
My friends gave me his one x to fix it because he was playing gang star Rio and suddenly the device was off because of low battery and when he charged the phone couldn't charge only sometimes it blinks red
And the device can't turn on by any button mix ..
So I fixed it by holding the power button and connecting the charger while holding and that's it ...
I don't know if it will work for u I just thought I would share this

What you did was a battery reset, if I'm not mistaken. I had to do the same once when my phone refused to turn on, despite charging it.
Reboot: press the power button (10sec)until the bottom buttons start to flash (4times)
recovery: press power + vol down

I was also handed over a friend's HOX, which suddenly couldn't turn on. I've tried to charge it overnight, and I've tried turning it on with the vol down, holding it down for 10 sec. Nothing works and buttons doesn't flash?
Any suggestions?

Good question, the computer was muted But it shows up in device manager as unknown device, and when holding power button for ~10 sec, it changes to apx device. And I can't update the driver.
Any idea of how much they charge. Screen is cracked also, so maybe it's cheaper to buy a new!?

Jumping in this discussions since i have the same problem..... HTC one X not powering on, no sings of charging, and the PC will detect only as something being pluged but you can not do anything as it shows Device Unknown.... "failed to install driver"
Is this a software issue ?? - bootloader or something like that or
hardware issue - something has to be replaced ??
P.S. holding down power + volume down for many seconds will not react, or leave it on the wall charger for more than 5 hours will not change anything..
any ideas.... ( mine broke while i did factory reset, ---- )

Mirrored and upside down screen device after factory reset

I have an HTC One V that mirrored and flipped everything after I did a factory reset. So when it boots, it boots flipped and mirrored. Also the bootloader is flipped and mirrored. Before the factory reset everything was working fine...
The touchscreen remains normal. So it's almost impossible to tap the right buttons. Anyone that has a solution or at least a cause?

Well it's not mine. A friends kid got it from his mom. Don't know if it was dropped, but it was a used phone. The guy told me it was fine when he got it, but after a factory reset it flipped the screen. Don't know about the colors, haven't seen this HTC without this problem, so I only know it showing these problems. A few pictures of a normal one for reference perhaps? He didn't mention it was dropped.
It's not really important anymore, as the kid gave it back to his mother and he was promised a new one. A bit annoying, because he manages to break a phone a month and I get to try to fix them...

well the kid probably dropped it and it just took a bit for the display to go defective..
If it was really just after a factory reset you can try to RUU it but it doesn't seem that way. If he dropped it I don't think it's just a display damage it's more likely something on the motherboard. Or maybe the connector unplugged a little

I wish I had the chance to open it up... His other phone fell in the bathtub and he then hid the phone somewhere because he was afraid he would get into trouble. Of course not taking it apart immediately and putting it on rice... His father keeps thinking the water damage is fixable...

In my opinion not old enough to have a mobile phone. But maybe I'm the one who is getting too old.
guys, I dropped my HTC one v today. though it was working well untill I did restart it for some other reason. . n den it started showing the same characteristics as mentioned in above posts. display flipped and mirror imaged. touchscreen working as if display is not reversed. so operating that cell is difficult. . ofcrs colour s also got messed up. exactly nsame issue as mentioned jn above post.. could anybody bfind solution for this ..?
You are not alone I have my secondary device (HTC One V) and thats too up side down and mirrored. I hope you have some solution for me. I have tried resetting and even I have change my ROM and recovery but not luck. So I believe that it must be some hardware problem. My phone was once damaged very badly and the screen glass is broken already.

The display can be mirrored in the kernel, it's really easy. I'll give you a kernel build with mirrored screen when I have some time.
You mean I need to flash another kernel?

If it's a hardware problem and everything is displayed upside down (the bootloader and splash screen also), you can't fix it completely by modifying software. But you can tell your display driver in the kernel to display everything upside down.
This doesn't fix the problem, it's just a workaround and your bootloader, recovery and splash screen will still be displayed upside down.
