I drop my SGY in our swimming pool (inflatable) then my SGY suddenly shut down and doesn't boot...what to do???
Hi.
If you have tried to boot it up its not likely that it would get fixed on its own. You have probably shorted the phone.
Unbox it in xda style!!
Leave it in sun for 4-5 hrs without battery !!
And leave it in rice box for a few days.

See I am not sure it will work but it worked for me....
Open and keep each part seperately....use a hair dryer and keep it in a utensil containing rice....it would work I guess!
Even if the phone cannot boot up now, it may later. Just be sure to disassemble everything you can and leave it to dry off, then put it back on and try to power on the phone.
Electronics can be weird sometimes.
you should put your phone in the rice bag with rice inside for 1 day

I Just dropped my DHD in toilet. However I managed to pull out the battery in less than 10 seconds. Is there any hope. Have no courage to put the battery back in .
Please advise.
Hey dude.
Put your phone in a bowl of rice and place that in your airing cupboard or somewhere really warm for a couple (2) days, 48 hours.
Do not keep going back to check it, just leave it alone.
After the 48 hours check your phone, if you see no obvious water retention then take the plunge and power it up.
If it still seems to have water in it, put it back in the rice and warm place for another day.
Hope this helps.

I had the same problem once with my nokia e66. It was completely wet after falling into a river during a canoe tour. I dried it in rice and it worked for the moment. After a while caused by corrosion on the board it won't charge. So i dissembeled it and put the board into isopropanol until the fluid evaporated. After that i cleaned the board with a soft toothbrush and reassembled the phone. From that point i never had a problem again.
So you got two options. Wait if phone gets strange behaviour and risk a heavier damage or dissemble it directly and put the board into isopropanol.
For me it worked fine! Good Luck!
look on youtube there is a lot of movies that will show you what to do its importent that you do it very quick....
Today, After keeping belowed DHD in rice bowl for 2days and gathering all my courage I managed to insert the battery. Then before even pressing any buttons, It vibrated once and stopped. Then I pressed power button and was not responding. I tryed pulling out the battery and then reinserted and pressed power button again. turned on with a vibration followed by bootscreen. after few minutes the lock screen appeared. I tried unlocking but was not responding to my touch. OMG. My touch screen is gone.
what to do next?
It's mashed if the touch has gone you can repair it yourself..videos are about

You should clean it with alcohol. Isopropyl alcohol (used for circuits)
It's the safest way.
Get a brush and alcohol from your nearest hardware store and you'll be set.
Clean it thoroughly and it will probably be back in working condition instantly.
I've done it tons of times with water damaged phones.
Not severe salt-water damage though.
So I dropped my phone in my bath
It was in the bath like literally 1 second or such and I grabbed it out real quick. The screen was on all the time until I pulled the battery
I immediately pulled the battery out and cleaned the outisde with a towel.
After an hour or so I inserted the battery and it came up with the white screen itself(i didn't have to push the power button myself)
Then i waited and it got stuck on the second bootscreen(past the white HTC logo)
Then i pulled the battery out and back in, now the only thing it does is give me a red led.
Have I killed it by trying to power it on? I should've had put the phone in a bowl of rice.
Thanks in advance, any help is welcome but i think it is already dead.
Let the device dry with the lid and battery taken off, preferably near a heater or something.
Or use a dryer with lowest heat setting.
After you have dried it, put it in the freezer for 30 minutes. That should freeze the remaining water particles. Try to boot afterwards.
Thanks, I already dried it with my hairdryer. The phone is now in a bowl of rice.
After I dried it with the hairdryer I 'accidentally' put the battery back in and the screen turned on.(first I had no screen, only red led).
But I immediately pulled the battery out again. Does the fact that the screen still turns on indicate that it is probably possible to make it work again? So you say put it near a heater and then 30 minutes in the freezer? With that you mean without battery, sd card and sim card?
I'm gonna try that after I take it out of the rice.
Thanks again
Rice? Nice. Didn't think of that.
I mentioned putting the phone in the freezer without the battery because extreme temperatures damage them.
Off-topic:
This reminded me of my retarded friend who tried to dry his phone using a microwave. It didn't work... at all.. and neither does the microwave since.
Haha, it blew up? I see people recommend putting a phone with water damage in the oven though(on 50 degrees celsius it is)
I think a microwave is hotter than that. I'll let you know if I can get my phone to work.

Not sure if you guys are kidding about putting electronics in a microwave...
The only proper way is to disassemble the phone and let it dry. Then clean it with a contact spray maybe.
I dropped my DESIRE 3-4 weeks ago in the f*cking toilet.
What i did was:
pulling out the batt
cleaning the phone with antibacterial wipes
cleaning the phone with contact spray
leave it for 2 days(just in case) to dry
..and now my phone works fine.
PS: you have NO idea how much water was inside the phone, despite it was with TPU cover, and dropped in the water for not more than a 1-2 sec.
NEVER EVER rely on drying it just like that

I somehow don't think its the heat the key is in the name MICROWAVE
There'd of been sparks flying everywhere in the microwave.
Dried out Desires
Congrats on drying it out.
Be VERY careful with heat -- that's what kills things worse than water IMHO
I also have a "Drowned Desire" (cdma kind) my freind gave it to me she dropped it in sink.
Instead of rice I used the dessicant packs you get @ the ammo store. Set the phone battery out open side down on top of the dessicant and another pack on top then set the shoe-box on top of the hot water heater (it's warm-ish, and dry, area)
Left it for 5 days and it worked
Still tryin to get the rootkit out of it
Virginwidow
Here I am again, after a week in a bowl of rice the desire is working perfectly again,I was surprised that it even booted up.
I got a friend's desire so now I have two of them. Anyway, it is working again thanks to the rice.
Thanks for your help.
HELPPPPP Basically it slid in the sink because the surface was unsually slippy and as soon as it dropped in water
i took it out literally 7 seconds or less while their was water in their :/
i tried shaking the phone then putting the battery and case off trying to dry it then put it back on and the screen went yellowish and then went completely black now i cant even see the screen i dont really wanna buy a new phone i got it november aswell and really want to try fix this
You shouldn't have to insert battery or switch on device at least for 24 hr
Still remove battery, use hair dryer to dry it completely but with cool hair and let it remain open for a day
Shake in between and try drying carefully.
May be soon you will get advice to keep in dry rice, a typical myth. Don't know how much it will help.

Isn't it because rice drains water (even as far as draining water from air, which is why you should keep rice in dry environments)
My girlfriend dropped hers in the toilet the other day. I took the thing apart and blew out as much moisture as I could with pressurized air, then left it alone for a day. It works fine now.

The rice thing does have some validity, it worked on my fiances iPod after a trip through the washing machine anyway.
Unfortunately OP, turning it on so soon was a mistake and probably caused more damage than the water itself. I wouldn't get your hopes up.

Rice has starch, it pulls water towards itself. Surprised you dont know this.

Take the battery out, keep the battery cover off and place the phone on a bag of rice for at least 24 hours and let the rice draw the moisture away from the phone.

I'd recommend cool blonde hair for the best effect.

Rice isn't a magic bullet, but it can certainly help very much.
I dropped too
Hello there. I dropped my Note 2 yesterday into the sink for a 7-10 seconds:crying:. It is almost the same story. I took apart the whole mobo and put it into the rice for 24 hours. Today I tried it and it worked for 30 minutes without any problem. Than I decided to run Quadrant and at the end of the test the screen went first yellowish than all blank. I didn't want to force it so I removed the battery and put it into rice again.
I wonder what happened with yours. Is it working now, did you get replacement of something?
Your answer is appreciated!:good:
i fell my arc in water :'(
i removed the bettery qiuickly and then dried it
then when i turned it on it worked but i dont know where is the problem .. the mobile entered the CWM and press the keys randomly
do you think its simple hardware problem and it will back to work again ???? :/
How much time did you left it dry?
Try to leave it a week with rice or silica gel in a bag to make sure all the water is gone.
Put the phone in a bag of rice, if that doesn't work open up the phone and put the mainboard and button board in 93% alcohol. Than let it dry and put it back together.

I've dropped my phone to water and it was working for some moment's and it got shut down.I dried it and i tried to press power but it didn't react at all and it's not turning on now.Do we have something on our phone that can prove that it was exposed to water ? Or is there something i could do to fix the prob ? Also only half of the phone got into water.And it vibrated once after like half an hour by itself,and i heard some weird sound from phone for some time.

My friend with a S4 had same problem.
How he fixed it was that he shut his phone off and left it in a bowl of uncooked rice (or use any dehydrator) for 2 or 3 days.
This is just advice and I've never experienced such issue.
Sent from my P6-U06
Well, uncooked rice is good, its an easy alternative. Whats even better is silica gel. Its not easily available unless you're working in chemistry lab or have friends that do. For silica gel, you can heat up the silica gel first, let it cool and put your phone inside the silica gel and let it be for 2 hours, even better if you remove the simcard and memory card tray so that the moisture can secape from inside the phone. You can try opening the back cover, only if you know how. Actually you need to open (I cant explain it here) the bottom rounded cover, then slide down the back cover then gently pull it out. For silica gel, a few hours should be enough. Longer is better. For uncooked rice, I would suggest a few days.Longer would be better.
Its really best to remove the battery of a phone, but in our phone case, its a bit difficult unless you know how to. At least you can put some insulator between the power contact between the battery and the phone.
It was sitting whole night on table and i plugged it on charger and now it booted and everything work's.
I've read somewhere that if it work's it can die any time because of water that was inside,like ppl had their phone working for 2 - 3 months and suddenly they stop.Do you know any way that I can prevent this from happening ?
EDIT: Now my touch doesn't work.

I think you should use the rice method to remove all traces of water left in your phone.

As we have said, leave your phone inside a bowl/box of uncooked rice, its a good humidity absorber. That will absorb almost all the humidity inside your phone. Don;t turn it on until then. You don't want anything to short circuit inside your phone. Silica gel is whole lot better than uncooked rice, but it can be hard to find.
Hardware button's doesn't work too so i can't wake it or turn it off..It was in rice for good 8 hour's and today I will return it to service.I think digitizer,microphone and hardware button's are the only thing's that doesn't work atm.
I was just listening to music when it fell in the tub filled with water(obviously). My initial reaction being the idiot and panicky me is to try if my phone is still on, and it was. then the battery drained so quickly and then i clicked the shut off button and it went off. I tried the rice method overnight. Nothing happened. Does my phone still have hope or should I let go? please help
