I've really appreciated all the help I've gotten from this site. Unfortunately, I dropped my ATT Tilt into my kitchen sink full of water. That was a couple of weeks ago. Now it doesn't work. It won't turn on, and when I plug it in, it only shows a red light instead of an amber light. I know alot of you are messing around constantly with these phones. I don't know if this phone is worth anything, but if somebody wants a project, you're welcome to it. I have no idea if the phone is even worth the trouble. I also have a USB cradle as well as a wall charger that I'll throw in. Feel free to email me direct if you are interested.

pull the back cover & battery. Lower left side, just to the right of the lower left copper colored contact is a small white square. If it is still white, try this to get
rid of the red LED when you turn it on. take the battery out and rapidly push it against the 4 battery contacts multiple times. Then, put the battery back
in, connect the charger and see if the red LED goes away and the amber charge light comes back on. If it does, try powering it back on and see if it comes back to life.
Might be worth a try.
Re
Lol, you've definitly got a good mood. I think lots of people are intrested in the device. So you should donate him to the driver project people i guess....
But first i would try the things mentioned above here, also try to power on without battery as well, remove the battery for some time etc. etc....
Maybe you can get it back to work...!
At least i think donating is a good idea, I'm having one already so maybe you make another person happy!
cheers!
I would love to have it.
what's the contact infor for the driver project people?
tried that.....didn't work.....and the little white square is red......guess i shouldn't have had that last glass of wine....lol
take the thing appart and blowdry it. When I say take it appart I mean way appart. there should be just 4 skrews. you can get the screwdriver at radioshack. One of the screws is covered by a void sticker.
when you take it appart inspect the board to see if there are any burn marks or "bisters" . if that is the case, it might be worth parts or something. I think that the camera is more than 1.3mpx and it might be interchangable with the older models of HTC phones (provided someone loads the drivers)
Belive it or not it's not as easy to kill a phone just by dropping it into water.
By the way, WD40 is a water reppelant originaly designed by or for the military to help deal with the wet electronics issues. it does not cunduct electricity. so if you need to "clean" the greesy **** that was in your sink, you can use that.
The other thing you can do is replace the red sticker with a white one and send it in for repair. I would try blowdrying it first.
I had a phone I dropped into a glass of beer once. within 3 days it worked (after it dried fully) don't try to turn your phone on while it is wet. useless and you can burn something out.
I might be tossing my Tilt to eBay soon. I figure its easier to just get a real TomTom for my GPS and use my iphone which I just updated the firmware last night to the latest 1.1.3 AND jailbroke it. It's just a nice device to use, and I've been using both, so I can say that based on hands-on, NOT opinion.
how much you want for it? I want it if it is reasonable.
shipping plus ten bucks for the trouble.....you get the DOA Tilt, wall charger, and USB cradle.
Deal
PM Me your Paypal.
Check your PM
Hey, if you still have it check your PM.
Sold Sold Sold
Jeez.....i had no idea there would be such an interest. i probably should have just put it up for auction. Anyway, the phone is sold. No more emails please....lol.....if anyone wants to make alot of freinds just advertise that you want to get rid of a broken phone. Too funny.
Thank you to the guy who bought it....and good luck with it.
glad to see you got something out if it

just FYI, you can't burn anything if it is wet. water is not conductive for DC. only AC. otherwise your car would be toast everytime it rains

I ve done a fair share of research and am getting mixed answers from these threads. I am in a situation where i have to call AT&T and get a new tilt sent to me, but i fear in my situation i will eventually get charged for the new unit. Here's my story...
got my tilt and been flashing it with some of the beautiful roms created... and i am a very happy camper... until one day... i was a bit drunk and i entered my friends backyard for the first time and immediately walked into the swimming pool(please dont ask, it was plain retarded). i fell in and popped back out immediately and took my phone out of my pockets and i believe i took the battery out after about 2 minutes. I dried it up for 2 days... with about 2-3 hours of hair drying... and finally decided to pop the batt. in the phone. WALLLAAAAA!!!! it worked and i was too happy. shortly after that... later that night i left my phone on my desk and the next day i got the RLOD.... the red light... yes... i want to call AT&T and have them send me a new one... but i m very certain they will charge me for the phone after they find out it was wet... or after they find out it was flashed with a diff rom. How accurate is this and is there a way for me to get my TILT back without spending any money that i dont have. please help?!?!
there's a moisture sensor under the battery, i think it turns pink if it has been exposed to water. if it is i guess you're SOL
white with pink dots!??!
The moisture detector is where you're "dead in the water" (ha ha)..
Even though with the RLOD you wouldn't have been able to reflash the shipping Rom you'd probably have been okay BUT they do check for water damage.
You're better off just buying a new tilt instead of paying the same price for a refurb (which is what they'll send you).
can someone send me a picture of their tilt with the battery taken out so i can compare what the moisture sticker looks like compared to mine... i m gonna figure out a way to "cheat the system" i guess... i really cant afford to buy another "regular" cell phone let alone a tilt.
here you go
Here is mine. The red outline shows my water damage sticker.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1977315&postcount=6
ok my sticker definitely has pink dots on it... but its not entirely pink... you think i can slide by changing that sticker to a normal white one... because my phone worked after it had a lil water... haha but after that i got the RLOD. i really regret taking my tilt for a swim... accidentally that is.
Hey guys, I am sad to inform you that I now have a dead Tilt. It just goes haywire and presses all kinds of buttons when you turn it on. Randomly chose to do that one day. I bought it from someone else for $400 and now I am screwed. Possibly the worst day for me as I have only had it for like a month. And the water damage indicator is slightly pink, probably damaged when sold to me.

why dont you contact the vendor and see if you can get a refund if you didnt state that the device had a problem with it before you sold it to me.
I tried but he said that the I bought the phone a month ago and that I have to take it up with ATT. Which I can't do because I am with Tmobile.
Really , 1 month is pretty late to claim anything. If its screwed up within a week , maybe.
well , To bad for you. Hopefully you can sell it on ebay for some money. Make sure you describe your phone has problem and sold as is.
Do you know anyone with AT&T? You could have them call AT&T's handset replacement department. If the moisture indicator is only slightly pink, as opposed to full on "1980's teenage girl pink", you should be able to exchange it.
I had a similar issue with the indicator on my 8125 getting turning slightly pink, but AT&T (Cingular at the time) replaced it for me.

I'd take the battery out, put it in with dessicant...I think thats what those things are called that draw moisture outta things...and pray.

I have several friends who have AT&T. Could they go into a corporate store and get a replacementfor me even though they did not have that phone on their line initially? What if they say it is water damaged and charge the full amount of the phone? The phone works now after leaving it in rice overnight but it won't turn off completely, it will just immediately turn back on when shut down. I didn't get any water on the phone or anything but it is extremely humid where I live.

I have AT&T and they registered my IMEA into their system when I bought the phone. I cannot imagine the look I would get if I then walked in with a broken iPhone and asked them to replace it for free.
Caveat Emptor = Buyer beware
P.S. My GF's Samsung upstage was left in a puddle of water ( cold drink condensation right next to it ), and the only problem was the back screen was foggy. Held a blow dryer on it for a few minutes, and stuck it in the fridge overnight. Got rid of some of the moisture, and the rest dissipated over time. Are you sure this is moisture related? I had an old XDA II that did what you describe when the battery got below ~10%. Perhaps this is battery charge related?
Well battery was at about 93% when it happened. So I don't think it's the battery. What does sticking it in the fridge do for the condensation?
I am not a genius, but I would imagine putting it in the fridge could be a horrible thing. What happens to a beer when it begins to warm up after removed from the fridge? It sweats (condensation)
For the pink indicator, once it turns pink, it will never turn back white again. Thats what its for is to indicate "water damage" at some time, not indicating its wet right now. I'm going through this myself. My Tilt has NEVER been near water (haven't had it in the rain or anything). My USB port quit working but when they asked me the color of that indicator and I said Pink, I was out of luck. They told me just having the phone in the bathroom when you take a shower, if it gets steamy enough then the indicator will turn pink. Really sucks, but AT&T warranty looks at that and makes a decision on it form there.
HTC told me that they see the indicator, but the techs look at the copper to see if there is oxidation and all to determine water damage. So while AT&T won't do a replacement due to a pink indicator strip, HTC might still cover it with their warranty (but if they don't you'll have to pay for the fix, and if you opt not to pay, you still have to pay them like $30 plus shipping to and from them for looking at the phone).
I may look at sending my phone to http://pocketpctechs.com/main~unit~...lt+full+service+repairs~item~75H00465-00M.htm to have mine fixed for $80, but for now am using BT to activesync. You might call them to see if they will look at it and give you an estimate for repairs for your issue.
Best of luck with this.
So yesterday at work I was on the pooper and somehow managed to drop my phone right between my legs... not sure how.
Anyway, I pulled it out of the water almost instantly... damage is already done. Took the battery out and put the phone under a fan. I get home and I submerged it under rice.
This morning I turn it on - everything works. I'm so excited... Nexus One bootscreen.... bam, my rooted baby. Uh oh.. wtf... yeah, the touchscreen doesn't work. . I keep getting android process is not responding blah blah
My question is, is it worth it to try to maybe reflash to another rom to see if I can get the touchscreen working? Or should I Just buy a new one off ebay?
so sad...so gross...
Theres probably corrosion on the connector for the touchscreen to the "main board" (only board) if not in other places.
Disassembly is not that difficult (have to be slightly "handy") and you might be able to clean crud off the connections/legs of ic's.
Ideally for this job you would want a microscope (magnification of some sort), dental picks, alcohol, qtips, compressed air, and deoxit (and of course the torx driver)
Disassembly instructions:
http://androidforums.com/sprint-htc-hero/22036-sprint-htc-hero-disassembly-diy.html
If not too much water has gotten in you should be able to clean it. There is a chance you have corroded off traces on the board, or shorted some components...then youre kinda screwed (unless you know how to fix such things which im guessing you dont or you wouldnt be writing here).
But then you end up with a phone that you put near your mouth that you have no doubt "did a number on" which for me would be a little too gross to handle.
to answer your question...
flash a rom.. only takes a few minutes. Why not? you can not make it any worse!!!!! gross!!!!
and.. try to take it apart and see if you can clean it up some more...follow the posters above's advise.
nope its done for. i give it a week. your running electric current through it while there is still h2o on the contacts. that will speed up corrosion by 300% or something. you should have left it off for 1- 2 weeks for EVERYTHING to dry up. now its just a matter of time. enjoy it.

You're assuming it has been on.
I haven't even turned it on yet with the exception of 3 tests. I completely disassembled the phone today thanks to a youtube video. I cleaned every black circuit I could find... I pretty much cleaned everything. Yes, I found 3 pretty badly "burned" circuits... cleaned them all off. Turned the phone on as a test, and bam - everything worked, touch screen and all ... without flashing a rom.
Now the phone is sitting in about 4 pieces sitting under a fan.. and will stay there for a few days. The front piece + screen, the circuit board, the rear panel and the battery cover.
Thanks for your input, if it wouldn't have been for you I would immediately be using it. You could try to cheer up a bit, though.

P.S - the phone didn't even have a trace of condensation on it. I'm not sure what else could be wet, but I will surely let it fully dry.

Trust me when I tell you I'm not ballin'. I'm your average 30k joe who wishes he went to school.. I'm young enough to go, but can't afford it. The state gives me little to nothing.. and loaning through freddie/mac isn't worth it because your origination fees are more than your tuition for your first year in school.
I just have to have a phone - I live on my own, I don't have parents within 200 miles of me.. I have my boys, and my fiance - that's about it. Hell, I'm STILL paying for that ring.
Battery
Just for your information the battery has the same water sensor that the phone, happens. It could fool a Sprint rep if you preform wisely.
Nice job!
You really want to make sure you (VERY CAREFULLY) scrape off any rust or corrosion then apply something to stop the corrosion from occurring again (deoxit). Dental pick is best, exacto maybe (both used with a very light touch if youre not used to doing this). Dont slice any traces or wiring !! Dont get too aggressive, just get the big stuff off.
ALSO! Clean out your USB post and headphone jacks if they were submerged...same thing-rust (and poop)
Cheer it up a bit? Arent you happy you fixed your phone yourself? You're welcome!

Is there a way to Disable Screen Wake up on Charger is Connected on a TW ROM?
I know its possible on some Cm based Rom..
My problem is my usb charging port had a short circuit and shows charging even if its not connected to a charger..
It wakes up the phone and says its connected then it shows not connected.... connected again(screen turns on) and phone heats up all day long.
Samsung service centee is very far from my place so im just finding some workwaround for it..
And I dont want to dismantle my phone myself because I might get it worse...
Help please brothers..
I don't know how mechanically inclined you are, but mine did the same thing a few months ago. I ordered a new usb/charge
board off ebay for less than 20 bucks & did it myself. Granted, I've been a repair tech for over 35 years, but there were several
youtube videos that show you screw by screw how to change it. The replacement board also came with a screw driver (torx)
& a plastic pry tool to get the bezel off the device. Took longer to watch the video than it did to replace it.
If you have any mechanical aptitude, give it a go. Being in my mid 50's, with the bifocals, the screws are pretty small, but
I took the torx driver and rubbed it against a magnet to make sure I wouldn't drop any of the screws

So... teardown videos on YouTube fooled me and I thought that this phone is water-resistant. I washed it under tap water (multiple times, actually). After the last time, the screen stopped working, but the phone appears to be OK — even the touch clearly works. I've already disassembled the phone and cleaned the connectors with 95% alcohol, but the screen still doesn't work. Is buying a replacement screen and hoping for a cheap repair the smartest thing to do? After all, the motherboard can also be borked.
EDIT: the screen is completely black

I've replaced the screen after dropping the phone. Was only a small chip in the bottom corner, didn't look much at all, but the screen was completely dead. I was in a similar dilemma of wanting to be sure it was only the screen before spending about $100 on a screen. I booted into fastboot, then connected to a PC, then done the fastboot devices command, which returned a valid ID, so I knew the phone wasn't completely dead. Also connecting to the PC and booting the phone, the PC recognised the phone was connected, though without being able to unlock the phone I couldn't check anything else. That was enough for me to go ahead and order the screen. Now everything works fine.

Thanks for sharing your experience! In my case, the phone clearly isn't dead, but I wonder whether some circuitry on the motherboard that's responsible for making the display work might be fried. Well... if that's the case, I can always sell the replacement screen after testing, but I'm not sure that someone will buy it for a good price.
Also... where did you get your screen from? On AliExpress, they are as cheap as $50, but most of the cheap ones are clearly some fake crap — TFT/IPS LCD, smaller than the original, fingerprint scanner not working... I guess I need to buy something more expensive. Have you noticed any difference between the original screen and your replacement?

It was 4 months ago I got mine from AliExpress, at that time there wasn't any of these cheaper ones for sale. Looking at these cheaper ones they are TFT, though it's not always obvious in the description.
One seller is selling both TFT and OLED and are clearly labelled in the options. So from this assume that all cheaper ones are TFT.
It is a bit of a minefield. I doubt that any of the sellers have the actual original genuine screens. It took me a couple of days to go through all the listings and determine which one would most likely be good quality.
I eventually went for this one, which was slightly more expensive than most. Now though it appears to have gone up about $15 from when I bought it.
https://a.aliexpress.com/_d7OqLlE
At that time it had the best reviews, which appeared genuine. There were others with a higher review count, which appeared to be just as well reviewed, but reading the reviews you realise they are fake. Many reviews, supposedly from the USA, written in very poor pigeon English.
Also saw some stores with high review count, but then realised that most reviews are for completely different products (a common trick by some Ali sellers, completely change an existing listing so a new product looks like it's got high reviews)
The screen is good quality. It took about 3 weeks to arrive, but it was about 2 weeks after I damaged it before I ordered. So it was around 5 weeks after I last used the phone before installing it. After that time it's hard to judge if it is as good as the original. To look at and use the phone you wouldn't think it was a non original replacement, to me it seems to be as good as the original, without doing a side by side comparison. As far as an oleophobic coating, I couldn't say, it's had a screen protector since installing.

Umm. What? Even with IP rated phones you don't wash it with water. IP rating generally means that its good for accidental drops into water or for use in light rain. Why on earth would you wash it? Yes, I know jerryrig says there's some water ingress protection but it doesn't mean you should wash it with water. It just means you're good for use in light rain at best.

Well, I guess that even if it's a bit worse, replacing the screen is better (in my case) than dealing with an older/cheaper phone or throwing a nice sum of money on a phone in similar price range. I will report my experience after replacing the screen, maybe it will help someone. I'm definitely not going to find another guy with 9T (Pro) because of the coronavirus, but comparison with another high-quality AMOLED phone is another way to check the quality.
So... I wanted to order the screen, but when I checked whether the phone still works... it appeared dead. It charges, is visible in USB devices (but no fastboot etc.), the notification LED blinks, but that's all. It worked perfectly some time after the water damage occured, so I guess that the damage progressed. Yes, I didn't clean the phone thoroughly after disassembling it - I thought that the water probably evaporated anyway after using a heat gun, so, as I mentioned earlier, I cleaned only (easily accessible) connectors. Maybe it is something stupid (power button?), but it seems too good to be true. If I don't post another update, just assume that my phone died.

My k20 pro Disable screen problem
Hi xda developers
After wetting the phone with a hand sanitizer and using the same wetness of the screen, I played the online game and put it in automatic game mode and rested for a while...
After waking up, I noticed that the phone was turned off, which was turned on by holding down the power button, but the screen is off...
Currently, only vibrators and notification lights work for the phone, and the phone is organized by a computer.
Also, the phone is charged and its sound can be heard while connecting it to the charger, and its sound can be heard in the same way to lock the screen.
Does anyone have an idea?
my phone just take s swim in the river yesterday, now its has no display but still on and even the touchscreen is working (i know is working cuz its register sound when i try to touch it everywhere). it have been dead first but then turn back on with everything work normal. but after about half hour, the screen suddnly dead.
after tear it my self i found where the water coming in, its from the 3.5mm jack. other holes have rubber protection but the jack has nothing. they even put water dammage indicator below the 3.5mm module....
i have try few method like clean the board with isoprofil alcohol but no avail. now im waiting my screeen replacement and will try to fixit my self.

Hello! Had exactly the same issue. Did it work to replace the screen?
My phone got into the sea (well the sea went into it), nothing happened for a while, and then it suddenly went black. Is working (like i can still use it as alarm lol) but the screen is not. Same as BlueOner, i'm afraid is not the screen itself but something in the mother board, so I would love to know if any of you were able to use it after replacing the screen or i will end up with the same issue.
Thanks!

It's toast. Don't even bother. The sea salt is hygroscopic, conductive (with moisture), corrosive and -everywhere- now.
It not a question of if it will fail only when.
Tap water is similar but not near as aggressive. The smallest amount of salt (sweat) can change that if it gets inside too. Even so if the device >didn't have it's battery pulled immediately<, then completely turn apart and cleaned with anhydrous isopropyl alcohol it won't fare much better in the long term most likely.
Any water internally can cause massive damage quickly. Or the signs of damage can take months to fully manifest themselves especially if the battery wasn't quickly pulled.
Salt water is fatal because it's residue doesn't easily rinse off as well as what was stated above.
This is why manufacturer warranties refuse to deal with water damage.
It's the gift that keeps giving...
Occasionally you can get lucky if you act fast
My Buds case fell into my coffee cup and immediately crash dived to the bottom like the sub in Das Boot. Cream and sugar too.
I pulled it apart and rinsed it will RO water then with anhydrous isopropyl alcohol in less then 3 minutes. Got as much as the isopropyl out as possible without compressed air and allowed it to dry in a warm sunny spot. Couldn't disconnect the Li battery as it was soldered or spot welded in. After about 2 days of drying it worked and other a year and a half later still is working.
I am still surprised...
Hi. I got water damage. The screen can be turn on but its not responding at all. I can press the power button, the screen lights up, as normal. I just couldn't unlocked it. It wont accept any touch. Also i tried calling from another phone, sound okay, also led notification working.
I havent try the charging port yet.
Anybody have similar experience? Can someone explain my problem? Should i order new screen replacement? Im just afraid its not screen problem.

Read my previous post.
You need to dry it out completely.
