My Touchscreen Doesn't Working After Waterproof Try

Hello,

My Xperia Z phone's touchscreen doesnt work now since i tried waterproof feature.

Just simply I congested some water (10-15 cm depth) and put it there.In adverts,people throw it to pool,wash it and nothing happens but on me it did.

I saw steam(vapour) inside the phone on camera lenses.Normally it shouldnt be right? I can say I closed all covers.

Sony always advertise like this phone has waterproof but my phone's touch screen doesnt work now.I'm waiting my phone's battery over because i also cant close my phone on my own.

Is there any solutions?

Please message me

Oben.

For what I've read its about 2/3 of the original price, which makes sense as Sony will have to repair the Motherboard, or perhaps even the LCD etc

But still there is a chance to solve it with rice right?

Also i'm waiting its battery over,because a guy here said it solved when he restarted the phone.

I wouldn't try that, I would try the rice first, if its water damaged, the longer you use the phone with water/moisture inside the more damage it could create.

That's a hardware issue, you could try to repair your phone with SUS or PCC but if that doesn't work then you will need to replace the LCD

Update Service (SUS)

PC Companion (PCC)

Bridge (for Mac)
