Welcome to Esato. Generally if a phone gets wet and wont turn on then it is dead. The only thing to do is to dry it out completely and try again. If that doesnt work then I expect it will never be revived.

Dude that sucks. I dropped mine down the toilet fully submerged for 2 few seconds and it still works. BUT my dictionary erases itself all the time and as little as that may sound its so annoying. Also the camera button on the side doesnt work. But its hanging in there. I'm suprised your died |

generally the best practice is to remove the battery, asap... then take out the front and back covers, allow it to dry fully for a day or two before you re-insert the battery...
did you do that...

Try the phone with a new battery, you never know it could just be the batt that's faulty!

why don't you send it to a service center and let them quote you on how much repairs would cost? might be worth a try, before considering a new phone purchase... |

Hello,
My K800i was emerged in water last week, and so i took it apart and dried it out and it miraculously started to work again, but soon after i needed to charge it but when I plugged it in it turned off straight away and now wont turn on again and wont charge 
I emailed sony ericsson and they said to install the update service thing from the website but then your phone needs to be fully charged which obviously it can't be..
So I wondered if anyone knew what I could do, and if i could get it fixed or replaced and how? And if it it would cost? (it's still in warranty)
Thanks alot i Hope you can help x |
