Phone fell in toilet... [NEED HELP]

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

Your comment is crazy thanks for it!
I will surely follow all your tips
BTW i just received an email of the parts company that its on its way
So I hope that i can close this thread this week with a brand new working screen

What the *******? today when i woke up
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 ?

guys i found out that when i put the brightness to its lowest it stops flickering....
So what could be the issue here?

HAHAHAH, i LOLd so hard when i read the thread title

Looking for dead One to attempt disassembly method

Hello, looking for a broken/borked/dead HTC One to attempt a different disassembly method to try to help the One community.
It is my understanding that they are glued together, not screwed, and that the suction cup method does not work. I used to retrofit headlights that also used glues, some heat glues, some needed a solvent. I have a lot of technical skill, and i would like to try my hand at popping one apart WITHOUT destroying the case/screen. I dont care if its water damaged, cracked screen, whatever, as long as its intact.
Posted this in all HTC One sections, please PM me if you have one or know of one, i'll pay shipping to and fro (i will NOT attempt repairs, JUST non-destructive disassembly) and post the results and a video on youtube if successful, and ship the unit back disassembled if successful, and not damaged further if not successful.
Please PM if interested or if you have any heads up to exchange contact information.
Thank you,
Slade8525

thats new since i had searched; i dont think bending the display is a good idea (unless its broken) with a suction cup like that.
thanks for the link; no point in this thread then :good:

I literally just took my One for a swim. Trying to figure out what to do with it...tried rice it seems completely dead.

if it was chlorine water, the corrosion will kill it., but some of the hardware might survive. connectors would all need cleaned.

I think there is, iFixit said themselves their repair was a butcher job. They also didnt say whether or not they were able to successfully reassemble. I'd like to know if there's another way, perhaps using a scientific hot plate or as the you stated in the OP, a glue solvent that wont hurt the components. I hope this is not the the wave of the future with equipment..."Disposable Expensive Phones"...or Assurian gets more popular selling their plan and sending 75% crap... BTW, I agree with the nonbending of LCD/Digitizers...I see so many tutorials showing this.

Send it to me, or the OP if he's still ineterested. I've been opening/repairing phones for 19 years and have never been stumped. PM me if youre interested, I'm in Colorado. No guarantees, but I'll do the best I can.

[Q] That's it, water inside. Where can I get new flaps?

Hello folks,
I own a Xperia Z since its release, but only recently I bought a dock and a bluetooth headset. Before that, all the time I was opening ang closing the flaps that protect the phone from water. I knew that was not good for those little isolating rubbers attached to the flap, which do the job, but I thought they would take longer to break. Both sim and sd card ports are like new, but the micro usb port and the 3,5mm jack port are damaged, and the water indicator is red =\
Where can I buy new flaps? I want to replace the damaged ones for new ones.
I bought this phone in a travel to USA, because in Brazil it was not lauched, so I can't get the flaps in some Sony repair centre.
thanks

Please, help. I really need a new headphone flap.

Have you tried Ebay, pal?

try either just googling it to see if some online distributor has miscellaneous parts for sale, or check a local cell phone store to see if they have some wrecked one you could buy parts off of

I take it you're replacing the flaps so that you can get service you are not entitled to? There really is no other reason to replace the flaps...

The OP didn't say the phone was damaged, only that the water ingress indicators were red.
Perhaps they want to replace the flaps simply to prevent more water from entering and actually damaging the phone.

That's actually a pretty good point hehe. Sorry for jumping to conclusions OP!

The phone is not damaged really... Some water did get inside it, but nothing a night in the rice couldn't handle. It's working fine now... but not water resistant anymore. The little rubbers on the usb and headphone flaps are damaged, so the indicator is red (I don't think they can go white again). I'm using a dock and a bluetooth set now, but it's too late. I want to buy new flaps and replace them myself, that's it.
And no, I couldn't find any yet =[

Are you sure it's the flaps and not the back plate?

New flaps coming with the new housing, and new housing coming with a new LCD+Touch unit wont be cheap pal.
No point to get new housing alone as you going to crack your lcd anyway when you take the battery out.
For you if you really want to change flaps need to get: a parts only unit.

You're right they cannot turn white again (at least not on their own), they turn red as a result of a chemical reaction with the hydrogen(?) in the water.

About youtube the guy broke the lcd and with his tool scratched the ribbon,which likely makes the audio not working.
Sorry I'm not scaring, I used to do that almost every day... If an small piece of the original flap's white joint still inside, there is no way you can close it properly even if you stuff the new in, because it will be on the way. You need to dismantle the unit to get the broken piece out. there is no spare room inside. At work when we have an xpz with battery change we just order a new LCD+Full housing with it then remove battery and mainboard than fit it in the new housing with a new battery because the Battery 90-95% cracks the LCD when we pull it out. To remove the mainboard we need to take the battery out.The LCD just 2mm thick not even a frame on it, and the battery is glued onto the LCD with a strong glue. That's why when you drop your phone your lcd breaks, not because is a piece of glass rather because the battery breaks it. Consider this i just want to help, not scare. Top of that you not supposed to know any of this info. I only know because i been trained to do it, by a sony tech, as i working in an official service provider for EE.

No I understand but there changeable without breaking a piece inside I did it plus there's a thread I just popped out my SIM one now because I have a full set,I'm gonna get my girl to record as I do the micro sd one and post it on here you can change them without taking apart the phone or breaking anything or leaving a piece behind I'm not the only one who's done it,There's other people on here also I'm sure if a piece does break then I'm screwed but I've been careful and had no problems

Ok. No worries than. Good luck. Personally I using an MW600 bt and a DK26 charging dock to free of this problems. And opening the ports only when needed. The SIM tray is a mess, too difficult for Sony to use a trayless design. Bah.

Totally agreed and the best way is to use dock and Bluetooth earphones I'm gonna start doing that now that my flaps are new,and thanks for the advice I know you were trying to help,I was just saying it's possible without disassembly if lucky now if a piece breaks I'm screwed again thanks

HTC One: water damage

hello!
i have a serious problem...i hope someone can help me:
My Htc One fell in water a week ago. I tried to dry it the best i could. And everything worked like before, but the power button somehow did not work like it should :/ It always means that i am pressing the power button...but i am not. I thought there is some water left inside. And from time to time it was getting better, it didnt always think that i am pressing the button. And it worked almost perfect 1 week. But now the power button seems really dead The phone always turns on and off by itself...until the batterly is empty. In this 1 week i made it completly stock...no custom rom anymore
It cant be repaird with warrenty, or?
What happens if i send it to HTC? Will they repair it and i have to pay for it? Or wont they repair it?
Has anyone any idea what to do?

Hi there,
smartphones have water indicators inside (white paper with red crosses on them). If you phone was not soaked completely there is a little chance that you will be ok and HTC will repair your phone on warranty, but the indicators are mostly attached to places where water could come in first :/
In the worst case they will tell you that there was water inside and you have to pay for the repair. But they will definitely do this before they start doing something
All the custom stuff like ROM, Recovery etc. would not be a problem, at least if you are not S-OFF.

My phone was completly under water so i think there is no chance for that :/
Do you think it can be repaired easily? The HTC One is known for that it cant be repaird easily :/ Will this be expensive?
I always thought that they are trained to spot unlocked or relocked bootloader? I thought s-off is not the big problem...

It's not complicated to repair the phone if you have the right tools. I can't tell you how much that will cost, sorry.

Turn it off and throw it in a bag of rice for a few hours.

The water indicator for the One is built directly into the camera flash. Look at the camera flash on the back of the phone. If the whole flash is still white/yellow then you are in the clear to send it back under warranty. If part of the flash is red, however, then you have voided the warranty

Is this the only indicator? It is completly yellow (no way white)
My phone is now booted completly and everything now works fine again But this happend very often now.... It's only a matter of time before it will reboot again

I have a similar problem here.
My son was playing on some rocks by the sea and fell off. When I jumped to catch him (which I did thankfully). my HTC One got knocked into the sea. I fished it out an attempted to turn it off. The phone wouldnt switch off though, it kept rebooting over and over. I put it in a container of rice and left it in the hot press for three days. Now I try and turn it on and nothing. Dead. I plugged it into the mains charger and not even a flicker of life from it.
I'm assuming the phone is dead or at least so damaged a repair is uneconomical, but is there a way to salvage data off it? Pictures mainly but anything I can get back would be appreciated. I'm assuming its a lost cause but if you dont ask, you dont find out.

if you like it risky do the rice trick again but heat it up a little with your oven or put the rice jar with your htc one in it in a bowl of hot water for some time to steam the rest of the water out. worked on my old iphone but could also happen that the water gets to other places in the phone were it does more damage.
dont go over 50°C/122°F

if you keep it for some days in a hot dry area I think it could help

If you're REALLY desperate, you can try taking it apart because you can't fix that under warranty anyway so it wouldn't matter if you're sending it in to HTC (unless you break something).
P.S. What kind of water did you drop it in? Maybe some type of residue or something is trapped inside.

If you're REALLY desperate, you can try taking it apart because you can't fix that under warranty anyway so it wouldn't matter if you're sending it in to HTC (unless you break something).

I dropped it just in water (not lemonade or something). Yeah, i think there is some water left inside :/
But everything worked perfect (for about 3 days) until i woke up today. I lay in bed for about 3 minutes (awake) and suddenly my phone booted (i have not even touched it). I let i boot for 7 times or so and then i plugged it into the charger and let it lay on my bed for about 30 minutes. When i came back to my bed the phone was completly booted and fully functional
But when i shake my phone a litte bit, there is a litte noise in it... like something broke and is now fallling around. Maybe this is the reason (My phone hit the ground of the water).

Don't worry about that unless it's too excessive. That's probably just the vibration motor or the sim card moving around in the slot.

I hope so
Have you got a HTC One? If yes, does yours make nose when shaking? And is your camera flash yellow, too?

Yes, I do.
Yes, it does.
Too bright, can't tell. It looks white-ish?

Mine is completely yellow
But i thought water indicators are turing red if there is any contact with water?

Alway getting better:
My HTC One is now shut down for about 2 days and no full boot anymore...
I think its the best to send it in to HTC and hope for the best. Does anybody think so, too? Or any other ideas?

Mine is yellow or yellowish, I would send it in, and check ebay or Craigslist for another. See how much it cost to replace it. Compare it to how much it they want to repair it. (Remove SIM card before you ship)

Anyone able to Repair HTC One?

Just curious if anyone would like a crack at repairing a water damaged HTC One. It was dropped into a chlorine pool for 4 seconds, screen flickered until it went black, I tried to shut it off, it then vibrated for hours until the battery died and it never turned back on. I totally understand that my One is most likely done but it couldn't hurt to rip apart my shiny paper weight!
Thanks guys

Did you put it in rice when you got it out of the pool?

Yea I did but I was still vibrating and flickering. Ieft it in there for 24 hours to no avail.

according to the teardown from ifixit this phone is pretty much impossible to self repair.

The guy who designed it said there is some special tool, maybe someone other than HTC got their hands on one?

I had a water damaged One from a pool. There is no repairing it. Your board is dead as is your battery,

I would say your best bet at this point (short of destroying your phone by attempting a self-repair) is to put your phone in liquid as close to 100% alcohol as possible.
If that doesn't help, I'd look into getting a replacement.

id be willing to try to repair it, or at minimum take it apart. I was a sprint store tech years ago, and repaired every model, even the ones they said were unrepairable

Lol this is completely unrepairable. I think ifixit rated it a 1. I don't really see how to open it being a unibody. Only thing I see is removing the speaker grill then move on to the LCD and see if u can get access through there but I doubt it

No actually it isnt unrepairable at all. Betting i crack it apart just fine and can reassemble without htcs special tool

Perhaps with a bunch of nicks from prying and some hot glue dripping out the sides. Perhaps.

You really sound arrogant. You haven't ever repaired the device before. Stop assuming everything will be fine. It may or may not be. There is no definitive answer. For all we know you can kill all of your hardware.

You haven't taken into consideration how much brute force is required to pry the shell from the phone's guts.
But, if you can do it, we'd all like to see a YouTube video. I would like to change the color of my shell.

ill just leave this here lol its a guide on how to take it apart hes going to work on a better version of the tutorial

Before you go taking your phone apart, i had the same issues with water damage.
I spilled beer on it, the phone bootlooped until the battery died. To make a long story short. I ran the damn phone under water to rinse off any beer and sugar residue. Stuck the phone in a bag with those moisture removal packs. I let it sit in the bag for about two weeks. I then tried plugging in the phone and i got contstant boot looping only while the phone was on the charger, otherwise it was dead. I figured my phone was a paperweight. I accepted defeat and for an entire month, my phone sat on my desk while i looked at it everyday thinking what a waste. One day i decided to plug it in to see if anything changed. To my amazement i saw a solid orange charge light. I let it charge overnight and when got up in the morning, solid green. I powered the phone on and was so excited to see my phone come back from the dead. I know this is pure luck that my phone is still functioning today, but the only reason it is working is because i thought about disassembing my phone but never went through with it because it is almost impossible to reassemble without damaging the phone. In this instance, luck and patience is what gave my phone a second chance. Im not saying the same miracle will happen for you but i wanted to share my story in hopes that you dont rip the phone apart risking permanently damaging the phone, just yet. Let the phone thoroughly dry, you never know.

I don't repair phones that are impossible to repair.

I think I'll take all of these ideas haha. I'll try the pure water rinse, then pour rubbing alcohol through it, then stick it in rice for two days or more. Should be fun. Or maybe I could just send it to 94tbird if you wanna have a go at it?

So I sound like a tool because you're being arrogant. That's fine. You show no respect for other members and I'm sure you won't be here long with that attitude.
