Htc 8s water damaged?

A few days ago I accidentally spilled a drink on my HTC. I quickly dried it off, and I was to believe that it was absolutely fine, with the slight worry some may have gotten in the speaker in the back. But since then it was working fine, until today. It died because it had no battery power so I put it on charge. When it was dead it showed the no battery power icon, and now it is charged it all locks and unlocks fine, and turns on and off fine. But when I unlock it, the screen is black. If I hold down the back button it will go blue until I click the home button then the black screen will come on again. The volume buttons and lock/power buttons work fine and the white icons at the top cam be clicked so they all come up too, but still black screen. Is this water damaged or another issue?

It is a water demage - with using to quickly you made it bad, I guess with pressing the screen you moved the water.

I would say ... give it another dry (smile)

Open the rear, take the batterie out ... mean let the mobile breath ... then leave it on a warm, but not hot place ... it has to stay on the side. We want that the water in the case vabours troughthrough the side buttos within the time.

SOURCE: HTC S710 - Battery issue

Hi,
it could be either battery or charger, If the charger isn't supplying enough power it will fool the phone..
some 3rd party batteries and cheapo chargers can cause all sorts of problems like this.
best way to test is charge your phone by usb, it takes longer but will give you some idea of weather its the battery or charger.
Make sure that the box at the bottom of the power management window (dont charge by usb) is set to off. Also for best results remove any other usb devices from the computer this will leave more power for the phone.

Best of luck

SOURCE: My T-Mobile MDA won't turn on or take a charge, battery was low

I had the same problem, but got the idea to "jump start" the battery from Googling the problem. At night, I had turned off my MDA to charge the battery and then in the morning, couldn't revive it. I removed the battery from my MDA, and determined which battery terminal was positive (far end of one side) and negative (far end of the other side) by using a multi-meter. BTW: Battery was still @ 3.5V (okay…battery was still alive, if just barely). Then, I found a 5V DC charger (5W Max output = ~1A) from my bluetooth headset. I used one wire (CAT5E) and connected it to the negative side of the adapter (outer sleeve - again, verified by multi-meter) and another wire to connect to the positive tip of the adapter. I had to strip about 1/2-inch of the insulation off of the wire on the DC adapter side, and about 1/8-inch of the wire on the battery side. Plugged in the 5V DC charger and then I touched the negative wire to the negative battery terminal and held it there, while I touched the positive wire to the positive battery terminal for about 30-45 seconds. Put the battery back in the MDA, started it up, and now it's charging on the regular MDA AC Charger that came with the phone. Problem solved.

I’m happy to assist further over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/daren_80e8def41854e57e

SOURCE: Blue On G1

ok i had this isssue and figure out what to do. this is all afterm you know that you have a good charger and or battery.

1. completely turn of phone unplug charger.
2. take and put battery back in phone and plug charger.
3. hold hit camera button and power buton. phone will come on if the update was washed it will come straight on. if not you will see the blue LED dont worry yet. just keep holding for 15 sec.
4. while phone blue LED is still on hit and hold (drum Role) menu and track ball for 15 sec.
5. now unplug charger and take out battery. wait 10 sec
6. now put battery back in and leave charger off. and turn on. unless you was in middle of update and hardware failed this WILL bring your G1 back up and running.



hope this helps everyone . MIll$tronics signing out.

How to swich on my HTC WINDOWS PHONE 8S ?

Are you 100% sure that its fully charged? Maybe a faulty battery or terminal. Batteries do fail after a time. Does it boot while plugged in?

Don't try free codes. Several wrong attempts will permanently block your phone.

Hello i have a htc dream also know as G1 it accidentally sliped in water i observed that phone is vibrating but it is not showing any display on the screen please do help me

Hi srinath,

I see that you are having issues with you HTC G1.

You mentioned that it still vibrates but that is a function on the baterry, you mentioned that you do not see anything on the LCD screen anymore at this point, If I may ask how long ago did your HTC g1 fall in the water? letting it sit down for a couple days and have it dry may not be an option to see if it will work or not, also having to turn it ON and not sure if the insides are already dry is as well not advisable turning the unit ON may cause the system to short if it is still wet from the inside.

I suggest that you bring the unit to a local service center that can service your HTC G1, the unit may already have experienced a short on the LCD the reason why you do not see anything on it at all.

I do not have details nor the manual to repair or open your HTC not even online.

I do apologize.

Have a nice day,

Wet G1 Tmobile htc fell in water a while ago

Don't turn it on until it's dry again.
Maybe it could work again.
If not, you'll need to take to a cell phone fix place.

My HTC TYTN II got went 2 days ago. I have tried drying it, but it still doesn't work, is there anything I can do to fix it?

Water usually kills mobiles!

What I tell people to do is, take off the battery cover, remove the battery and dry battery and compartment with kitchen towel.

Move all parts into a warm room, leave for 24hrs, then retest.

Sorry but thats as thorough as you will get.Fingers crossed for you.

I need a new mother board my mother board was

The first thing when spilling drink on your electronics is to remove ALL power.

Then wash the circuits with DISTILLED, de-ioniozed water till all traces of the spillage is gone. Next driop dry with one corner down and finally let dry a few days.

The only damage the spillage usually can do is electrolysis from the power source. Circuit boards are washed with water during manufacturing. Use DE_IONIZED !!!

My htc mogul front key dont work even after making sure that my keylock is set to do not lock front keys

I had the same problem with mine a few weeks ago. If you're within your 1 yr manufacturer's warranty, go to your cellphone provider and, barring any evidence of abuse/water damage, they can order an exchange for a working refurb. My "new phone" arrived the next day via UPS. I took both phones in, they set it up/activated the new one, and I sent the old one back. If you're within your 1 year on your phone and they don't find any evidence of abuse/water damage, they'll probably only ship the replacement phone minus back cover, battery, and maybe the stylus. Shipping is paid for by HTC to return your old one. So, it shouldn't cost you anything but time.

I spilled sprite on my g1!!

I dropped my motorola sliver in the bathtub full of water and it quit working totally. I called ATT where I got the phone and they told me to look under the battery. I lifted out the battery and they asked me if there was a white dot under it. I told them no but there was a red one. They said "gone". Meaning that the dot was usually white but if it turns red, the circuits are water/liquid damaged and to throw it away and get another phone. Look under your battery.

Laptop starting issue

Did you spill the water while you were using it or turn it on shortly after the spill? If so, you fried something. It's electronic, it doesn't mix with liquid at all, you're lucky you don't have a nice expensive door stop, use a bottle with a screw on cap if you absolutely have to have a drink while working with your laptop. Also it takes days, if not a week, for a laptop to completely dry out inside, a dryer isn't going to do much good unless you take it apart. Either deal with the issues or take it to a shop and have it diagnosed. It's going to be a hardware issue consisting of the motherboard.
