So as the title says : my phone fell in the toilet... (i know so dumb)
Its already 1 week after the incident, i first waited 3 days to turn it on. Which it still does, actually everything works! :good:
But the only downside is that my screen is doing some crazy things.
So now my real question is if i replaced the LCD screen with something like this https://www.amltelecom.com/kleinhandel/products/Display-LCD-LG-P990-Optimus-Speed-2x.html would my display be normal again or is maybe a chip inside also corroded so the new screen will have the same issues too?
I tried making a screenshot on cm7 and when i looked at it on my pc, it didn't show the striped and flickers.
So what i think is that theres some water behind the screen wich makes it flicker all the time.
So what do you guys think about it?
Anyone had some expierence with water damage?
Hope you guys can help me!:highfive:
Thanks all!

My usb port is having some issues too now, sometimes it does work and sometimes it doesn't...
Even if I let it stick in the same position sometime it does work and after some time it won't some I'm guessing replacing my usb connector too would have some effect.

Hi there!
I don't know about the water damage. I would take the phone completely apart and let it dry like that for a few days. But again, no experience in that.
With the USB connector, I had this with my phone once I thought, turned out to be the USB cable, and not my connector. Be sure to test with other cables first before replacing your USB connector.
Hope it helps!

Did you take your phone apart to let it dry? There might be still some condense in there.
I can't help you unfortunately, although I wish you good luck, as I have nearly had that accident too, not even once. lol

Why don't you try taking the phone to the service centre and see what they have to say. If they can fix it out by service then you might save money and they are professional's.
All the best and i hope it does not hurt your pocket more.

I can recommend the second one (first seems very long).
Difficult steps:
1. remove digitizer with bezel (frame) from case, use credit card (preferably old one),
2. avoiding dust between digitizer and lcd screen - use gloves, and
3. putting back digitizer and bezel - start with fitting micro-usb input while checking all buttons. Be careful, micro-usb entrance easily gets damaged!
Furthermore, I recommend to put wrap around all your toilets
Good luck

My screen was back to normal... but than after 5 minutes it was gone again...
So is this really the lcd screen or is this something else?
Cause today i received my new lcd screen and i can send it back fory my money back if i let it unopenend;
So i mean maybe there is a way to fix it ?

Titel says enough, I put my kaiser in the washing machine, and offcourse it was dead... After drying it for 3 weeks I decided to put the power back on. It seems its alive, vibrate when poweron and charling light is orange. But no display at all... :S
Yesterday after 2 months (got a new diamond from the insurance and was travelling) I hooked it up to my laptop. And strange enough, activesync found it instantly, also is the tytn registred in the wifi network and i find him with my diamond on bluetooth as well.... its also possible to explore the device and copy paste etc. etc.
So know a question to a expert, can I roughly take the conclusion that the mainboard is still intact, and that the LCD is dead, or can it also be because of a damaged/lifted flex cable etc. Is there any way to check if its because of flex cables/mainboards issues or caused by a broken LCD?
If its not to expensive Ive got a new project
edit: LCD screen has been replaced and is fully working now All functions are still up and running, GPS, cameras, wifi etc. etc. The only part that isnt working is the keyboard. Some keys react, but most of them are dead. Does anybody know a shop on the internet that sells a complete keyboard unit incl. cable? Searched ebay but i didnt fine one so fast!
thanks in advance!
ok,
I opened the kaiser completely, and after cleaning assambled him once more. After power on, I now see things on the lcd, touchscreen is working, but there is no backlight. So it isnt usable at all. For one second the backlight jumped on as well, but its now dead (flicker sometimes). Is this the LCD of is this another problem?
pls advice
cheers
There may still be soap residue inside
There may still be soap residue inside, which conducts electricity.
You may want to find a way to safely rinse what you can, then dry by surrounding components with silica gel to absorb any moisture.
I did that to a camera a while back and it worked.

cleaned the whole phone with gel, but the lcd screen stays on at about 50 procent brightness, whatever i changed it wont go to full (after cleaning it was at 100% for about 5 minutes)
so i guess a new lcd will do the job...
tnx for the tip!
try to imerse the phone on a bowl of RICE! yes rice for 48 hours.
my daughter droped a blackberry on the toilett and after the rice treatment
is working fine!!!!

Will try that as well... however its a long time ago already!!
But the conclusion now is that its fully functional besides 2 things:
-LCD (flickers and is not at full brightness)
-Keyboard (some letters work, some dont...)
Does anyone know a site who ship these parts to norway?
The good thing is... dismantling a kaiser and rebuild it takes only 20 minutes

haha, its a malfunction in the brain... when you drink to much beer, and decide to wash your clothes, then it goes wrong!

My daughter wears a hearing aid takes it off at night and puts it in a box type device called DryStore by Global I think. It removes ALL and ANY moisture from within.
Well one day, same thing, she washed her cell phone in the washing machine. I took her phone, took the battery out, opened it up as much as I could and put it in the DryStore for 24hrs.
After that put the battery back in, turned it on and it worked perfectly. It was not a Kaiser but the idea is the same. That thing litterally gets all the moisture out. It is an AC powered device and not a toy. I think it is cheaper than a new LCD and Keyboard. If your device is salvagable this will do it.
If you do not want to buy one then find a hearing aid store and see if they will do that for you instead
Best of luck to you!

Nope, it doesnt include the ribbon, and i think i need that one as well anyway i will check ebay every day, but if someone has a good idea Im in for it.
I see that broken kaisers change owner for about 150 dollars, I have to admit, thats to expensive in my situation! Because everything is working ok (use it on daily base, seems ive got a fat touch cruise without the keyboard)!

hah, you forgot your sdcard inside, 2GB Sandisk Saw it in the last picture
Thanks for the photos! now i acctually see the phone has no cooling except that metal shield under the battery... not good stuff when OCed :/
Edit: i disassembled a K850 once just for quriosity - damn that thing is packed up tight, so difficult to get appart. Looks like our Mini dissasembly is pretty straight forward. At least it looks like so
Ouch! I have an idea, you know how they fixing ps3 with yellow light of death? Try heating up main board with hair dryer, maybe its just broken soldering ? It happens a lot I fixed ps3 that way, and my old Nokia that just died (ps3 "just died" too, in a middle of a game...)
Look for tutorials about ps3 on YouTube, it will give you idea about how to do it
Hair dryer won't do a thing, as it won't melt the soldering on the board... he should use an industrial one that blows air that 500 degrees Celsius hot . But that will do more harm than use, he could **** up his entire phone by doing that.
Its not loose connections, its the actual digitizer, so thanks for the tip but it won't work
Yeah its fairly easy to take apart, 4 screws and the back comes off

Yeah, I thought it won't work either, but somehow hair dryer did the trick with my ps3
You got lucky then, and who knows for how long will that fix work... if its out of warranty then i understand you
@domcale: it's 2 months since fix now, but it's annoying because cooling fans start to work 3-4 minutes after I switch it on, so I'm mentally prepared for the moment it will die
I noticed to night that My One will not charge unless you PHYSICALLY hold the cord to the bottom right of the port...

Sounds like you broke the charging port.
Should I be worried? Mine is hecka loose and I really have to jam it in there for it to not wiggle around.

Try to use a toothpick to pick out the dust/dirt/lint.
Don't suggest putting anything metal in there. Same to the OP. If it's completely clean, even in the back, try to gently move the charging port or pieces of it, for god's sake don't push it hard, but if anything moves significantly with a gentle push, then the charging port is broken and will need to be replaced.
Sometimes that's covered under warranty, sometimes it isn't.
Hi,
the touch screen of my Xperia V is broken and I'd like to replace it myself. It's not the first time for me that I repair a mobile device myself, but without a disassembly guide, it is difficult for me to identify the parts that are fixed by glue. I don't want to break anything that is still working.
I already found a russian video on YouTube, but it seems to me that the display is not taken apart from the other parts of the device.
Has anyone here done it before?
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
I've managed to remove the display. Mainly because it was really damaged ... heating the display and "bending" with a small tool.
It's really hard as the glue is quite strong. As my replacement screen is "on it's way" I'm not able to finalize the work.
I'm kind of stuck in the part when removing the "middle, plastic" part...
display is connected to body with really strong glue. Remember that it is impossible to remove old display without breaking it. Second thing is that with new display the phone most likely will not be waterproof

Hi! I broke mine last night. How did your repair go when the part arrived? I also could only find the russian video without the screen being removed
How hot did you have to make the screen? I was thinking of using an iron with a cloth around it.
Hi Folks, I'm curious to hear how others are going - I managed to break my screen this last week, Hoping to replace it but so far taking out that glass seems to be a tricky thing - any suggestions? How did the iron and cloth go?

There's no way.... You need to buy a new housing with the LCD and touchscreen built in, and then move all your bits over. That's why the russian video of the guy removing everything doesn't remove the screen.

I just ordered this: http://www.parts4repair.com/complete-screen-assembly-for-sony-xperia-v-lt25i/ I will see how that goes. I got tired of using my old SG1 so it's time to fix the V...
Good luck. Careful with the tiny, white antennae cable running from the main board to the bottom. I twisted mine a little bit too much and the connector popped off. I had to go get a new one with much difficulty.

Hi this wont work, I went through the exact same issue, and its impossible to attach the new screen properly. your best bet is to try and find a second hand screen via ebay. it has to have the "housing part with it. otherwise you are wasting your time. it cost me so much to fix mine as I ordered two screens in the end I could have bought a new phone on special....
Try Ebay, and make sure you see the one with the screen and front housing on, I am unable to port the correct link on here as I haven't made 10 posts yet.
Search for the following on ebay : Genuine Sony Ericsson Xperia V LT25i front+digitizer touch screen+LCD display
This should let you find the correct screen
Look at the picture you will see the side housing for the front is also installed, the one you have ordered is the incorrect one as its only the LCD and the Digitzer, without the front housing that it gets "glued" onto. You can see the main difference where the earpiece is its shown as black, hence the mesh is there. that would be the correct one to order. Unless you have the means of getting yours glued back on the same way as the factory, I see you will struggle to get it done otherwise.
OK - I've watched several You Tube videos showing how to do this on the XT890, but still have a question (or two) - All the videos show the cable attaching the screen to the main case and the cable attaching the battery just popping off - I'm not sure I've seen a connector like this before - how easy is it really to simply undo? And then the battery removal -some show some heat gun action to remove, is this really required? Finally, how easy is it to do in reverse, but with a new battery?
Oh, one last bonus question - if I was going to do this I'd try to get a OEM part, not sure I trust anything else, is this a good idea?
Many thanks all

They are quiet easy to pop off. I did it just a few days ago. The only hassle is all those screws and that you need to gently apply some force on some parts to get it off.
I never went as far as replacing the battery itself, so no idea of why to use a heat gun. In one of those youtube video's it just flipped it lose with some small plastic thingy.
OEM parts are most of the time good quality. But others could be even better for less money. Just look around and hope more people have used the batterys and find some reviews.

Many thanks - I assume that after you "Popped" off the connector you pop it back. Is your Razr still totally bricked or were you trying some major surgery to get it alive again?

Yep, after you pop it off, u can pop it on again (easy). Just be careful and don't just pull off your screen without disconnecting the connector.
Still bricked. And will use this weekend again to try to get it back to live. But small chance...
Be careful, the backplate of the screen is fragile. Don't pressure it, you might break the amoled panel.
When I have time I can post some photos of the teardown and my destroyed screen... Battery is glued, heat gun is not a mandatory but preferred, because you could twist the battery a little.

Many thanks - I have all the tools, a "new" battery (someone on eBay was selling it as he'd bought it thinking the phone had battery issues - hopefully he was telling the truth). I just need the courage to do it.

Just take the time for it. Empty desk, places/bowls to separate all screws (there are more than 3 different screws) and indeed some courage. Scratches are common with this kind of things. Just be careful, especially with the screen. I personally don't mind scratches on the outside, but i dislike them on the screen.
