Cell phone dropped in water - red dot showing - options?

did you drop it in water, ?did you press the screen to hard and cracked the lcd panel? those are the most common reasons, oh, and dropping it, and also dropping it in water. I would suggest going over all those possibilities.. open up the back of your phone and pull out the battery, in all phones now they have a water sensor dot, it remains white always unless the phone was damaged by water, and warranty doesnt cover water damage, look for that little white dot, if its red, that means you gotta get a new phone, and if you try peeling if off theyll know youre covering up water damage, unless you were able to somehow obtain another white color changing dot to put back in your phone now in the exact place it should be, but techs are very good at catching bluffs. but if that white is intact to begin with, your phone should be under warrenty of some sort, and that means they owe you a new one. bottom line. BOOM

hold down the red button until it turns on....if you bought it used check for the dot on the inside of the phone under the battery to show a red or dark color mark....this means it has water damage and the phone could be junk

Was the phone dropped? Did it incur any physical abuse? Water damage?  If not, try pulling the battery out of the phone completely.  Look in the battery bay to see if you can find a white or pinkish red sticker dot.  If the dot is white, there is not moisture inside the device.  Call your service provider and you may qualify for a free warranty replacement device.  
Also try and letting the device charge overnight. It may be time to replace the battery. 
Hope this helps, as you only gave me limited info. 

You can contact orange and have them refresh your voice mailbox but if that doesn't work you can connect your phone to iTunes on a computer and restore the software. Set up as new and see if the issue persist. If it is fixed you can try to restore from your back up. If the issue comes back when you put your information on there, then you will need to set up as new

You can try with cleaning the whole PCB.

Did you drop your phone in water? or do you live in a humid area?

Your phone was exposed to moisture. That red dot is a moisture sensitive piece of tape that changes colors when it gets wet.

If your phone still works, but the battery won't charge when connected to a home charger, you might try charging it in your car. Its a different type of current and may work with a somewhat damaged battery.

If that fails to fix the problem you may need to get a new battery.

Hope this helps

Hi,

There is a good chance that the phone will work once dried...but make sure it is totally dry (try to absord all water ad give it a few days to dry out) before attempting to turn on. If you take it part and dry out the parts...even better.

ok, take out the battery and look and see you can see a white dot pice of circular paper, if it is red, your phone somehow got water in it, look at your battery(white dot paper) if it is red than you have water in you phone. now you need to dry it! leave it on your car dast board in the sun 24hrs or use a hair dryer ( use low heat) you must dry your phone and battery completely before the next step, Next step- find a good working battery and insert it in your phone, see if this will correct your problem, sometime the battery volt are very low or maybe the battery itself its bad, but make sure you put in a new battery to test this out, don't pay for the battery until you check you phone at the counter, ask for the right model for you phone.

good luck

What worked for me was just to stick it on top of a running dryer. Turn your dryer on, then set your phone right on top of it. The water should clear itself out, it works!!

this is a stick and whens it get wet it change color into red.dont be worry is nothing
