Well..... unless you have the proper torx driver to take the unit apart, you are going to have to send it into Sony for repair.

If you do have the right driver and some patience, you should be able to take it apart CAREFULLY as there are several delicate components and ribbon cables that can be damaged very easily (And I do mean EASILY!).

You more than likely still have moisture trapped inside of the unit and it is causing the unit to short out. Also most likely the battery has been destroyed and WILL need to be replaced. Give it a shot if you want, otherwise I would suggest that you call Sony Ericsson Tech Support and get a tracking number and send it in for service. They might cut you a break if it is under warranty for the parts, but don't count on it.

Wish you best of luck.

Cheers,

Keith

Phone has got wet. Its charging but will not turn on?

It is best not to even attempt to power it on untl it is 100% dried out internally,

Remove battery and and other parts thats are easily removable and leave in a warm place,such as an airing cupboard for a few days then give it a ry when you are certain it is dry,

Sometimes you are lucky and it may work as normal,its hit and miss

Fuzzy screen

I have exactly the same problem with my W880i. Suddenly, one day, out of the blue it went half and half, the right side completely blank(yet still with the back light on - I think - ). And a few months later (now). It suddenly randomly went completely blank - back light definitely on -. It happened today,and I am desperately searching for a solution. If I take the battery out, put it back in, turn it on, I can feel the vibrate, and notice a slight change in colour on the screen. But it stays completely blank, and hasn't changed in hours. So ANY help would be appreciated.

My phonne!!!!

hi there,

very common fault with cell phones - they don't behave well in water. If it has damaged the phone inside not much can be done in way of fixing but it's worth trying to take it apart and leaving it in an airing cupboard. This means covers battery sim case, take off as much as you can. The more the better. This willl allow as much moisture as possible to dry out. (this may well take a few days though so be paitent) If this doesn't work you make have caused the boards to short out - if this is the case it'll be more expensive to get it repairded physically than buying a new one.

Hope this is of some help
