I accidentally dropped it in the pool, I got it out immediately and took the battery out and started drying it off. Then I stuck it in a bag of rice. Now when I put the battery in and tried to turn it on it vibrates once like it normally does when it first gets turned on but then nothing happens. What should I do?????????? HELP please thanks</P></BODY></HTML> Tue, 23 Aug 2011 04:50:51 GMT https://community.sony.ee/t5/xperia-archive/dropped-in-pool/m-p/2837005#M72100 2011-08-23T04:50:51Z https://community.sony.ee/t5/xperia-archive/dropped-in-pool/m-p/2837006#M72101 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>how long you left it in the bag of rice? you need to leave it at least a whole day or two before you attempt to turn it on</P><P></P><P></P><P>the LCD screen might be dead, contact Sony Ericsson and see how much they'll charge you to replace it, also try to connect it to your computer and see if you can mount the SDcard, if you can then it could be only the LCD</P></BODY></HTML> Tue, 23 Aug 2011 05:03:34 GMT https://community.sony.ee/t5/xperia-archive/dropped-in-pool/m-p/2837006#M72101 Uliwooly 2011-08-23T05:03:34Z https://community.sony.ee/t5/xperia-archive/dropped-in-pool/m-p/2837007#M72102 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>It fell in the pool about 1ft deep and for about 3-5 seconds.

Also I don't think warranty covers water damage so it looks like a new phone is on the cards unless the service centre actually repairs it.</P></BODY></HTML> Wed, 24 Aug 2011 06:12:16 GMT https://community.sony.ee/t5/xperia-archive/dropped-in-pool/m-p/2837008#M72103 KrazyD 2011-08-24T06:12:16Z https://community.sony.ee/t5/xperia-archive/dropped-in-pool/m-p/2837009#M72104 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Unfortunately moisture damage is definitely not covered under warranty...</P><P></P><P>It probably would be cheaper to get a new one then fork out money to try repair it...
