Screen Locks and won't unlock as soon as booted

Hi there.

I am currently tearing my hair out with my Z4... I washed it under a tap, (you know... like advertised) and somehow some water got into it. After 4 days sat in dry uncooked rice, it had dried out. I started it up, and it was working fine. But then, the following day, I realised I couldn't wake it up. Now, I can reboot it (Vol down + power btn) and it will get to the welcome screen, but before I do anything, the screen goes to sleep, and I can't wake it. The device was still accepting emails etc. I have since run a software repair from my laptop, but I'm getting the same behaviour. 

Any idea's on what I can do here?

I'm sorry to hear that but since it's a hardware issue, you will have to contact your Local support to get it inspected, request a vacuum test.
