Diamond flooded:( - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General

Was geting out of the car today, and dropped the phone in to the water.
There is mist under the screen . And now touch screen not working.
Please help, is there any cure for this?

First, be very greatfull you still have a semi-working device!
Second, install MS Voice Command - this should give you some functionality
Third, if you search on the forums for the service manual and and get one of these.
I'm told its a very tricky job but as its a touch phone and you have lost your touch, its got to be worth a try!

usually, when electronic devices get wet, you should immediately remove the battery and let it totally dry before turning it on.
And then send it for repair or diagnostics to make sure it's still functioning. At this point, I think your best bet is to send it for repairs.
Good luck, hope it's still repairable.

turn it off and leave it somewhere warm for a day or two.
then turn it back on.
if it is still not working right you need it repaired.

Take the battery out, and then pack your diamond tight, submerged, in a bowl of uncooked rice.
Trust me I've seen this work miracles before. The rice draws out all the moisture, it's amazing. Then cross your fingers and hope you got that battery out in time...
You'll need to leave it in the rice for at least 24 hours.
Good luck
p.s. Put the battery in the rice also.

Before you do this use a hairdryer ( worked for me on my s710)

You can cause problems when you cut corners like that... Static electricity is one.

Ok, so far everithing in working (GPS,camera,g-sen,phone,), and the touch screen works again, but the bloody screen... lots of watermarks on it.

I wouldn't worry about that, that's good so far. A mate of mine dropped his i-mate in a pool and he brought it back to life (with the rice trick) and his screen had those watermarks for a week. In fact it looked really cool, the background had this awesome colour to it, and the LCD had this strange depth to it (no pun intended) it was quite funny really, he was upset it went back to normal in one week!

this is probably the same "stuff" you would get on a window. I suspect that you may need to open it up and clear this away from the underside of the screen. Guess you could try some pressurised air BUT this may be too strong for a delicate phone.....

Is it possible to separate screen cover from screen(background)???
Cause its get worse with time. Couple hours ago, mist(water) was on 5% of the screen, and now on whole 80%. Now there is no white color but grey.

Just put your phone in rice.
Leave you phone turned off in some rice for I'd say 2 days, but you clearly want to use it to the extent you turned it on when it was still wet (very bad idea your lucky) so I would suggest you put it in dry rice every night off whilst you sleep and hopefully that will aid the drying process.
Next time take out the battery as soon as you possibly can. Take it apart as much as your comfortable with doing and leave it in rice for a min of one whole day.

Yeah i get it, but im on work now and i Need to use it. I cant get rice right away. So i'v put it on the betacam (kind of expensive heater).
Comparing to my friends SE K850 (that was flooded ider) my Diamond is in the good working order, when he flooded his SE - Camera,Speakers = dead ,Phone = no network ,Display = waved. When mine was showing new mail massage from underwater
Anyway thanks everybody for your respond.
I'l wait couple days for screen to get back to normal. will post if something changes.

Right, was unable to find the rice, but rolled in toilet paper for 1 hour. And hey presto now its fully functional, no any marks.
Solved.
But thing near strap holder is red now

question about water damage

so yeah..... (dont all you laught now) but i just droped my phone in the toilet *b4 pissing thank god*... and it shut off... i took out the battery ASAP... and use a hair dryer to dry it out.. now its under a fan blowing semi cool air....
did i just completly **** my phone.... im sure i did... anyone know of something 2 do..
please help... ive been without my phone for 20 minutes.. and molski is releasing his 3rd ed rom soon.. and i wont even be about to use it
I once had Kool Aid poured down a motherboard of an open computer case. A lot of cleaning and a day later, it still worked fine.
Is there hope? Sure. Are the odds in your favor? Probably not.
But since you already got your phone wet, you know your warranty is gone. My advice (it's worked for me before) is to take the phone apart carefully, dry it off completey, clean it with 90% isopropyl rubbing alcohol and a microfiber cloth, and then wait for it to dry again. Hopefully that will stop the corrosion and hopefully removing your battery immediately worked to your favor before anything shorted out.
Good luck!
help again
ok welll first of all.. ummm im not gunna say WHY, but my warrenty wont work period on the phone. next what do i use to take it apart??? i know not to even try to turn it on for atleast a day or two..... and drying under a fan right now... and what if i cant clean with with 90% whatever you said and a microfiber thing... cuz i wont be able to get that untill tomrrow
I highly suggest you open it and do as was suggested earlier. Same thing happened to me on my Nokia phone and the above procedure saved it. Goodluck!
well i just left it under a fan all night.. and tried it this morning and everything works fine.....WAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
You may want to seal your phone in a plastic bag with some instant rice or cilica for a couple of days. This will pull out any remaining moisture. If you did not take your phone apart I'll bet there's still water inside. If you don't get it out corrosion will set in.
Good luck
Phone wet - solutions
Well, I'm glad you saved your phone.
With all electrical equipment it's adviced to:
- switch it off ASAP
- the shorter it was on while wet, the less chance you have damaged it
- ensure that it gets completely dry
- a hairdryer can help, but at least open the phone as far as possible
- you can also leave it open on a warm place in the house,let the sun shine on it
- I would even let it dry for a few days
I must say, it also depends on the type of fluid. Salty water, coca cola, ice tea, coffee....these have a bigger chance to cause damage. If that happens, while switched off, clean a while well with just water to get to salt or sugar out. Then let it dry.
happend to my phone as well, after taking a piss (and flushing the toilet). I only opend the keyboad and lett it dry for a day on the heating. works fine [email protected] first the display was flickering quit a lot. but now, a week later... it's working as before.

Help - Tytn II water damage

Hi all,
My little nephew dropped my Tytn II in the toilet and i want to know if anyone has had an issue with water damage and managed to resurect their phone.
I pulled it out within 3 seconds of falling in, i then removed the battery and slid the keyboard out furiously drying with a towel. After about 30 minutes i reinserted the battery and the sacreen showed thin multi colred horizontal lines and then went white.
I removed the battery again and then left it for 24 hours at which time i restarted it and got to the "smart mobility " screen but then the screen did the multi color lines and then went white after about 15 seconds, when i put the phone to my ear i hear like a scratching sound, i contacted the phone company i am with and they sia try drying it with a hair dryer or leaving it out in the sun, also they had a customer who put their phone in the oven and got it to work again. Granted this was not for a Tytn II but i am just wondering if anyone has had any success with getting their pohne to work again after a similar set of circumstances.
Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Kane
Patience can work wonders - you have to understand that the very intricate insides of your phone have been saturated (from the sound of things) and even the merest hint of any residual damp in the wrong place could effectively kill the phone as you've described. It could also cause more long term damage when it's powered up in that state, so I'd really recommend keeping the battery away from it for as long as possible. Do as the guys on the phone suggest, leave it somewhere warm and dry (your airing cupboard if you have one) and just wait a few days at least, maybe even a week. I wouldn't advise any extremes of heat (the oven etc) as this could damage something in itself - you don't want to go from a damp phone to a melted one! The LCD screen may be quite sensitive to heat, and you wouldn't want to damage that.

Well I did the same exact thing about a month ago...I was pissed! I reacted very quickly and pulled out the battery and let the phone sit overnight. In the morning I dissassembled the phone and took a hair dryer to all the circuit boards and pretty much every piece. I put it back together, said a little prayer, and it worked! Just thought I would share my experience.
So my recommendation...take it apart and dry it out nice and good.

WOW!, thats fantastic, i did look at taking it apart but the screws are so tiny and look to be in the star shape (not like a regular screw) can you advise where you got a screw driver set to open it.
PS. I was pissed as well.
Thanks to everyone for your help

Sorry one more thing, can you tell me how long you dried it for with the hair dryer? how far away were you holding the hair dryer and have their been any side effects since you got it working.
PS. i found a place that sells the screw drivers,
go to radioshack and buy a T4 or T5 screwdriver. I think it's a 5 but just buy the whole T set. It's for electronics. There's a thread somewhere on this site that shows how to disassemble to the kaiser

[HELP] droped my diamond in toilet

heya guys,
today I was talking on the phone and the phone droped from my hand into toilet. I bring it out fast and removed the battery. I dont know what should I do now,. any advice!!!! will Vodafone accept it for waranty!!!
Usually for any electronic device, take as many bits out as you can an stick it somewhere warm for a day or 2, should get some if not all functionality back, I've dropped many things in the bath and had them back working again. Don't, however, try and power it on until it's had chance to dry out. The touch screen may be an issue though...not dropped any touch device in some water yet to test if the same rules apply....
Stick it in a bowl of (uncooked) rice, it'll help pull out the water faster.
whatever u do dont use any thing like a fan or blow dryer, cause that will just cause the water to go deeper into the phone, use a vaccum to suck the water out as much as possable,then like he said place the phone in a bowl of un-cooked rice for a day or two, good luck.
A little combo of what has been said: put it in a bowl of uncooked rice right at the counter where it gets a lot of sun (battery should be out obviously). The BIGGEST mistake you can do is test it out after a day when you "think" all the water is out. If it isn't and you turn it on, it could cause further damage. I know you're urgent to find out if it works or not, but give it three days with three days in the above conditions. You'll also probably need a new battery.
mp.goldfinger
will Vodafone accept it for waranty!!! - - -- no
Vodafone will not accept phone Warranty
The diamond has a sensor for water
Thanx guys......but I did turn it on today Bcause I really need a number everything is alright but the screens is still fuzzy. I wont use it for at least a week and see what will happend.
i hope you flushed the toilet before you dropped it.. =) otherwise there will be some.. sh*t inside the phone and its not easy to clean
yeah, definitely make sure its in rice, and sunlight doesn't hurt..
And the moral of this story
Don't take your phone out of your pocket when in the toilet.
It's also unhygienic.
Take care of your phone and your phone will take care of you.
I went to a festival where I was so drunk that my diamond went out of my pocket when I got ready to sleep in my tent. And next morning I fond the phone in a little water pool inside the tent. But all the functions still work after I let the phone dry for 1 day.
Uncooked rice (as been mentioned before) is the best solution.
Take your time, as been said before, it will take a long time before all the moisture is out.
Nowadays the chips are very small, water easily lodges between the BGA balls, and it takes a while to evaporate.
just leave it for a week in the bowl of uncooked rice (preferably on a warm sunny place.)
Remove stylus, back cover & battery before sticking it into the bowl.
It's not under warranty: it has a moisture sensitive sticker which turns red when it was in contact with water.
Because it isn't under warranty, I personally would take the device apart, and dry the parts seperately, but that isn't very easy if you haven't done this sort of disassembling before.
Revert to this only if you have absolute confidence (and the service manual ).
Best of luck!
Please keep us posted.
EquinoXe
The problem is long term, the moisture will cause corrosion on the fine
PCB tracks etc. even after its dry, Best thing to do is pull the device appart as best u can get a tooth brush and a can of CRC CO CONTACT CLEANER
blue and white can @ any good electrical wholesaler. spray all the circtry and componets not the screen. and scrub with a tooth brush dont knock
off any small componets and then let dry for a day or 2 best bet is to use compressed air to blow off excess liquid spray from under the chips..
I am in electronic repair hope this helps
This happend to my LG 2 years ago ...into the LOO and i done the process above and its still working today the quicker u dry the water off initialy the better..
thanx guys.....unfortunately I have to buy a new LCD for my diamond as all water has gone inside the LCD and damaged the sheets inside the LCD. I have removed all parts and I am waiting for LCD delivery that cost me 40£
Aww, that is unfortunate..
Hope the LCD transplant will bring it back to life.
I had almost the same issue, but in my case, what I did was that I droped some alcohol inside the power button when I was trying to clean the screen with a tissue and some alcohol. Now the power button works in a faulty way and it tries to reboot every time I click on it. It's like the single click is always a double click on the power button. Any suggestion on how to fix it? This happened to me like 2 months ago and it is still like this.

I dropped an iphone inside the toilet. It rang I went to pickup and it slipped out of my hands.
Apple replaced it though. They didnt even test if it was water damage. LoL
....and I might also suggest that you don't eat the rice later!
Aww thats pretty sick
Have done the same thing, about 2-3 years ago (luckly not with my HTC TD)
All the advice above is right about drying it out, but the main issue you'll have is impurities in the water which, once the water has evaporated will leave residue. The worst is actually salts. These will dislodge components in the phone, and usually it'll never be the same again. Often the water gets under BGA components that arent encapsulated, or between pins of components, and once the water evaoprates the salt cyrstals left behind expand into those gaps.
You can wash the pcb in distilled water, or certain alcohol solutions - depending on what residue there actually is. If you use normal water you'll just make it worse, because that has impurities in it too.
You could have done the same with the touchscreen, but you would need to dismantle it.
Sometimes you get lucky and it all works ok for months.. lets hope you're lucky

Phone fell into water! [SOLVED]

My phone just fell into water!
I immediately took it up and when drying it the phone responded to the touch screens but then it shut down,
i took out the battery and dried it from the outside and now im doing it from the inside with the hair-dryer,
Any suggestion of how to dry it more?
dun dry it with hairdryer cos u may melt the solder or anything inside the phone. put the phone in an airtight container with rice and wait patiently! otherwise, send it to 3rd party people to help u clean

yes,
the most critical part was to take the battery out as soon as you got it off the water to prevent short circuit
don't rush it let it dry naturally at room temperature
hair dryer could damage the phone (but again we know the phone have survived the ove trick and hair dryer trick, so it should be okay)
take out all the parts, battery, cover, etc
if you are a technician open up the phone, and use compressed air spray cans, but watch out to not freeze the phone.
best results if you have an air compressor machine at home and use it to blow dry the phone
let it rest under the sun or a projector lamp for an hour and check to make sure there are no more water vapour trapped under the screen
once everything is confirmed dry, you can put it back together and hook up the battery, the phone should work back to normal now.
i hear throwing it in a bag of rice really sucks the moisture out.
As told, first step is ALWAYS to remove the battery and let it rest and dry for a period.
You can put it in a bag of rice (it absorbs humidity) and keep yourself from "testing the device" to ofter... let it rest for (at least) an 8 hours under warm and dry temperature in a bag of rice.
i put in a jar rice, and put the phone between the rice with the jar open,
I will keep it like that for 24 hours and hope that at the end it powers on. Is 24 hours enough? do i have to close the jar or keep it open?
Thanks for the support, I really need it right now
aww poor fella... i nearly dropped my phone in a toilet bowel once... imagine that....
Aw that sucks mate. As other have said putting it in a bowl of rice is ment to be a good idea as the rice absorbs all the moisture.

My old Omnia2 fell down (drawn) in a toilet and survided using the methods above. Give it time to dry... don't rush to test
heh, mine fell into a bathtub full of water... took me about 5 seconds to get to it, was getting the baby out of the tub.
No water inside or in the battery compartment, dried off the outside and went about my day, didn't hurt it one bit.
الحمدلله 24 hours later i tried to power it on after putting it in rice, and it worked! its like nothing happened, everything works!الحمدلله

You need to leave it off for a long time (days). Take it apart as much as possible, put it in a bowl of uncooked rice and leave it.
Given what you have said your phone could be dead already.

This. although there is a small chance it is salvagable.
I would leave it in rice and also if it's sunny, leave it in the sun.
Before you do this though, dismantle it as much as possible. Even if you have to unscrew some bits, it may help (careful not to do too much that you can't put it back together).
Also, resist the temptation and wait at least 2 days before trying to turn it on again.

It will very probably still get corroded inside and will lose its functionality. Cleaning the parts with distilled water is the best way to fight this.

[Q] LG 4X in water :(

Hy today I was going home on motorbike and my phone was in jacket pocket ( jacket is motorbike,waterproof,never questioned that ) and suddenly it started to rain and I had no worry cause jacket is waterproof and many time I carried phone in jacket while raining,no problem at all.
But guess what.I arrived home and pulled out phone from jacket and I felt water on TPU case and bottom of case was soaked.
Immiditealy I had heart attack that water found her way into phone electronics and parts and I pulled out battery,sim card and memory card and dried phone with hair drier.
Then I switch battery with replacement battery and started phone.After LG logo apperead I was happy but no so soon,then LG logo flickered after showing it as it should be and black screen on left part of screen and artefact screen on right ( like when your computer GPU dies ) and I hear boot sounds and going into homescreen.
My questions is should I try to dry more or thats pretty much that what I could do ?
Did digitizer died or LCD screen ? Could they notice if I take it to warranty the water indicator like on Iphone ?
Guys please help,give some advice,I'm going insane
Strip the battery from the phone. Put both in a bag of rice. Leave alone in the rice in a warm place for 48 hours. Try to see if it works. If not then there's not much else you can really do.

Thanks for reply,last time mom washed my Nokia 100 and after leaving it in rice for 24 hours water withdrawed and now phone worsk flawlessly like before.
As I sad,phone turns on,shows LG logo as it should be,I hear boot sound and then one half of screen is black and other half has artefacts.
So my question is what could be damaged ( cpu,gpu,motherboard,lcd screen,digitizer ) ?
After spending 12 hours in rice,my phone works and everything is fine except rear and front camera.
They dont seem to work,they show some kind of artefacts,then it turns for a short period time and laggs and they I get error App has crashed etc.
Should I carry my phone to phone service or leave it for 24 hours more in rice,maybe rice will dry moisture from camera lens/electronics or are both cameras completely dead ?

Personally I would leave it in the rice for for a couple of days at least. My old Sony Ericsson took 3 days in rice to get back to full working order following it's short visit to the toilet basin.
You only need the slightest drop of water in the wrong place to create a short, which will cause your phone to act erratically.
I have my fingers crossed for you :fingers-crossed:

I wont test out my luck anymore,I'm reliefed that phone even works,WiFi,3G,GPS,games,apps,screen works great only front and rear camera show artefacts and crash
is there any chance that rice will dry out moisture from camera and they'll work normally ?
if cameras are dead,what parts should I order from Ebay ? plastic cover or just camera

congrats! i got my phone into water too
i'm gonna put it in rice,
how is it supposed to be put in rice?
direct contacting with rice or can i cover the phone in tissue etc and then put it into rice?
---------- Post added at 08:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:25 PM ----------
my phone is accidently droped into a low level bowl of water face down.
almost 25% of phone dipped into water, and as soon as it contacted water i pulled it out and pulled the battery and sim and memory card out.
then i tried to dry it with hair drier for 10 mins,
then i started my phone and it started normaly, but after 1 minute while i was using it, it dimmed and gone to black screen, i instantly pulled out the battery again,, and yet i'm thinking what to do,
do i still have chance of rice trick?
i can't take chance on my phone, i'm not a rich person to afford this phone again
so please reply soon,
thanks

Put in in the rice you got nothing to lose.. But honestly, you made a mistake turning the phone on after 10 min. Rice will hopefully take out the moist.

weather is cold here, and it's not warm, will the rice still take out the moist ?
Yes, keep it for a couple of days..
I dont know, I believe it doesnt matter.

If you live in a cold place, keep it in for atleast 2 days.Also stop powering your phone on, it will reduce your chances.Try to get it to somewhere warmer
if you ask me, you made a mistake when you tried to dried it with blower
when it drooped into water, then right away turn it off, battery out, sim and sd out
then try to collect water as much as you can with tissue
then put in on rice, basically bury it in it so that phone is surrounded with rice all around
leave it like that for 2-3 days
then try to start it to see if you had luck to get the moisture out
Rice is a bad idea.
It will dry but the water from everywhere contains salt and minerals.
It will rust everything inba short periodo.
Run to a repair store and they will dissasamble and proper clear parts.

ok friends,thanks GOD my phone is alright, not a single default in it,
working perfectly, it has been half an hour i'm using it with minimum 800+ processor frequency so that it generate some heat,
everything is wroking,
and i wanna thank all of you for replying and helping... rice is the best method for it.
thanks a lot,
Regards,
The best method is actually to use the desiccant packets that come with electronic equipment, but I'm lucky to get lots of them through my job in case I ever need them. Rice is the best thing that almost everyone has easily available.
I'm glad it's all working, quick action of normally the best bet.

a nice homemade trick to fix wet devices is, grab a container, half fill it with white rice, from a new package, and the put your device into the rice, of course without a battery and back plate, and the complete the container with more white rice, wait for two days and then, try to turn on your device, it will be completly dryed, i proved with several devices and always works again
yes, rice dried my device completely and I'm using it without any problem now
