I dropped my Samsung Eternity into water, and the phone worked fine but there was a little water behind the screen. So I just set it out to dry and thought that the sun might dry the water inside and everything would be fine. But now the screen doesn't work. The backlight, sound, and vibration works just not the screen. Is there a way to fix this or do I have to get a new phone?

You phone needs to be taken apart and dried out. You probably shorted the battery, it will need to be replaced. If it got really wet, boards start to corrode and phone may not be fixable. Every connection on phone needs to be taken apart and dried, hopefully your phone will work again. Sometimes I get them to work again, and sometimes I don't. Good Luck

Replacing it is not too much trouble for an experienced cell phone technician. But, it's not for anyone who doesn't like to tinker with small things. Here's a video demonstrating the entire process: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJpHHs9QM5U.

TOUCH SCREEN



Hi,

the touch screen of the phone you are using is weak and it is not responding properly again.

in other to resolve the problem,you will need to replace the touch screen with a new one.

For touch screen replacement , Contact a technician.

Take care

If I were you I would pull the back off and pop out the battery let it dry completely out and then put it back together, it worked on mine

Hi,

phone can be fixed.

The water that entered the phone has stayed in the phone for too long and it has affected the screen of the phone.

Even till now the water has not fully dried up in the phone and it might still get some other damages if not serviced to dry up the remaining water in it.

Unscrew the phone and use a methylated spirit and a brush to wash of the board of the phone.

After washing the board of the phone, put it under something to heat the board to dry faster and couple the phone back.

i will advice if you do not have the knowledge to fix up the phone, you can take it a mobile engineer to fix it for you in other to cause further damages to the phone.

Have a nice day.

Hello my friend,if the board and chips are oxidized now there is nothing you can do anymore.You should immediately open your mobile unplug everything and try to dry everything with a hairdressers gun and leave the battery and the Sim card out for some hours when you drop it into the water.

Dont worry as even I have a line on my almost six yrs old Samsung C100 phone. It works fine with original battery still. Use it till it breaks down. that is what i too am doing.

It is not possible that you can have water between front glass and lcd screen. Those 2 parts are glued together with LOCA glue. Maybe screen was repaired before and front glass was replaced and new one was reattached to phone is in mounting tape on sides instead LOCA glue?

First of all, DO NOT put the battery back in. Let it dry for AT LEAST 24 hours. Leaving it in a container full of moisture absorbing material (i.e. rice grains) should help in taking out the remaining water residue.

unfortunately, the board of your mobile phone has corroded. When the water dried up rust was developed. try cleaning the board of your phone...
