I put my phone in water, after I saw the mist in the back camera, button power volume don't work, then he does not want to turn on (when I try to load it, it vibrates 3 times and turns off ) i think that is dead
so you think that if I change the motherboard the problem will be solved? thanks

Xperia Z waterdamaged
i do all of this things but it's doesn't turn on ! ( i had this problem 2 month ago )
I have Z1 with latest stock firmware.
Yesterday My phone suddenly went off (could be went to empty battery) and won't start.
If I plug it to changer - screen lights up, shows SONY logo, then charging indicator and screen goes black after like 15s.
Clicking Power button forces phone to vibrate 3 times briefly, with led off. After a few seconds - led goes red, sony logo shows up, charging indicator.
I cant do anything else, without changer I cant even get these 3 vibrates.
----
In the past a few times I was unable to start the phone with some chargers, if batter have been emptied, looked like they were too week to provide required current (on of them was 0.7A), but changing chargers usually helped to boot the phone. This time - it doesn't :/
Any ideas?

Can you get into flash mode?

Seems like semi brick
Read the gides they are tons of them
Leave it on a mains charger for 24 hours then try again. If that doesn't boot it, then flash a stock FTF or force a software repair on PCComapnion
I'll try to do software repair on PCComapnion. Looks like a good tutorialtalk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xperia-Ion/Detailed-Software-Repair-Instructions-using-Pc-Companion-Windows/td-p/249946?
Does this 3 short vibrates has some special meaning?
----
I just noticed some fog under camera lenses, I have no idea how it got here :/
I've read that back cover is glued to the phone. Is it possible that this glue layer got faulty and let water in because phone was overheating? E.g. playing some games was cousing it to get really hot.

No.
But I don't know if my phone is off, or just screen is blank. But after pushing off button (the red one next to SIM), holding volume down and plugging to PC - nothing happens.
Sometimes windows tells me that malfunctioned USB device was connected :/
Download flashtool by Androxyde. Search an good ftf and download it into the firmware folder from flashtool. Your phone must be powered off now. Open flashtool and click the lightning icon. Select flashmode and load the firmware. Wait till a new window appears and then press volume down. Hold it and plug in the micro usb cable from your pc to your phone. Flashtool now flashes the firmware and your phone is probably working fine again! Did you have any backups? I often backup my phone to prevent data loss in this kind of situations! Hope this works for you!

Yes, it shutting Down. To be sure just keep pushing Volume UP + Power Button and when you will feel 3 vibration then you can be sure the phone is completely off. Hold Volume down and plug into PC, you phone should be recognize in Flashmode.
I took it to warranty service, apparently they had to replace main board :|
As far as they told me, they tried to reinstall software, but it failed.
Now I have Andorid 4.4 (was this already officially released for Z1 wordwide?)
My z1 totalled itself overnight... left on charge overnight and took it off charge and... nothing.. totally dead.. tried everything. . All of the button combinations even the red reset button but nothing. . No lights showing no vibration. . Have had to take it in to Vodafone for a repair.. I really am disappointed with this fone... I wont get it back until at least 6th May!.... wish I had waited for the m8 instead of getting this pile of junk...
Z1 vibrates three times and turns off! TRY THIS!
My friend, it happened with me and in my case I am sure it was caused by water even with the covers closed properly the water goes where it shoud not go. After my phone died I put It to charge and the sony logo appeared and started to charge normaly but when i tried to turn it on the phone would vibrate 3 times and start all over again on the charging screen.
The only solution was to use a hair dryer, First step: take your sim card and memory card out of the device sou the air can circulate better. Now use the hair dryer in the hot mode, becareful not to damage getting it too close to the phone but know that it should get hot enough to vaporize the water inside so it has to get a high temperature.
Move the hair dryer heating all sides of the phone and inside where you opened the covers. I had to do it for a long time to make it work again. the phone is working fine now, just as it was before.
Dont believe sony about been waterproof, it can become an expensive nightmare, only use in water if you really need, many people are having problem even with covers well closed and if you still do it, make sure you don´t press the power or volume buttons under water.
I hope it works for you!!

Yes! Exactly, at least about the not-really-water-proof part... Happened to my gf's Z1. We left the phone in rice for a whole 24 hours and that did it for us... A little less agressive than the dryer, but same cause/result.
EDIT: grammar
My Z3 compact is dead. It will not start after I shut it off.
I've loaded it with magnetic charger and USB cable and will not start. No lights and it does not vibrate.
I have tried to connect it to my computer and also printed on the yellow button next to the SIM card without result.
Someone who has experienced something similar?
Important
Weird !
U Didn't Do Anything Wrong ??
It is not rooted or jailbreak and not dropped to the ground. It has been in freshwater.
Today I have send it for service.

I got the exact same problem TWICE a few months ago. I died completly random.
First time I send it to a repair center and they fixed it. Secend time, it came back to life after a few days:S.
I still thought it was weird behavior, so I send it to the repair center and explained very clearly what was my problem.
I think it also came alive the first time and they send it back.
I recomend you to wait a few days and try again. If it comes back to life, claim your warranty and EXPLAIN VERY CLEARLY WHATS WRONG.
Else claim your warranty anyway.
Good luck
I am experiencing exactly this issue. Tried all the usual stuff - reset button, power + Vol-Up, long press, etc. No use. Phone is just dead and refuses to wake up. It is not rooted, didn't drop it, didn't even get it wet. Will take it to the service center soon.
Guys my z3c is dead coz of water damage.
The device simply doesn't boot/start anymore..
Tried
Holding the Power + Volume key
Pressing the yellow reset button beside the sim card slot
NO REACTION.
The LED notification keeps blinking continuously when connected via charger or laptop..
The Red LED notification just stays on without blinking when the device is connected partially to laptop.
Is the device bricked?? ( Soft / Hard)
How worse could the device be damaged?
Biggest concern; Is there ANY POSSIBLE way at all to recover the data present in the device's Internal Memory??? :crying:
The mobile is not rooted.. Not unlocked..
try putting the phone in a bag of rice for a few days to see if it comes back to life

What is the indication of that blinking LED??
Is there any hope of recovering the data without the device coming back to life???
nope. Not unless you have lots of money to spend

Forget About Recovering Your Data
Better Focus To Get It Back To Work
Did You Tried To Flash FTF Using Flashtool ??
Hello,
after the touchscreen of my Sony Xperia Z broke down, i decided to repair it by myself with an old Sony Xperia Z, which was damaged by water. So I took the battery and mainboard of the phone with the broken touchscreen and put it in the phone with the water damage. All worked fine, and the phone is working, except for the power button. If I press the button only for a moment, the phone goes to sleep, but the screen pops up again a few seconds after. Sometimes also the shutting down menu pops up.
So my question is if there is a way to repair that by myself (maybe I damaged a cable), or if I should go to a repair shop?
Thanks for answers.
P.S. Sorry for my english, I am a non native speaker.

Could it be that I damaged the Flux cables which are under the battery pack, when I tried to put the battery out?
