Xperia SP not charging.Please help

[GeorgePaslariu]

Hi,I have a problem with my girlfriend's SP.She dropped it water yesterday.I repair mobile phones so I took the phone apart,dried it off,cleaned all the oxidation and voila..it's alive.But here is one problem.When connected it  to charger,the red LED was on but only for a couple of minutes.After the phone had enough power to turn on,as soon as it booted up,the 1% battery went to 0% and it turned off. So i though,ok, i'm gonna use an universal phone battery charger to get it to a decent percentage.

Got the battery a good 10% the put it back into the phone,booted up,then put it on charge.The battery level was rising every few second,obviously too fast.It got up to 25% then it started slowly going down (still connected to charger)

 Now when i put the phone on charge,it shows the lightning bolt on the battery but the percentage does not rise.Also when i go to setting to check the battery status,it it "Status:Not charging"

 Any ideas? I am using the original wall charger.All it does now when i connect after it suts dow,it just shows the battery on the screen for a few seconds and the dies.

The battery is not swolen and it does not show signs of damage.

connect the phone to a wall charger > press and hold power & volume up for 10 seconds > let it charge for 1 or 2 hours > then repair it with SUS

I thing, that You should dry it once again. Properly, leave it apart for a few days in a dry  and warm place. Than try again.

I ran a battery check.Don't know how accurate that was but the result was 250mAh when the battery should be 2370 mAh.I ordered a spare genuine battery,was only 4.99 anyway.I will post the result

Please be wary of using third party batteries with your handset as this can lead to damage to your product. I would advise contacting your local Xperia Care team regarding sourcing an offical replacement battery.
