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

Open all the covers/flaps > look for white rectangles > if you see pink or red that's were the water got in, the Xperia Z it is water resistant, not water proof, but this is only if all the flaps are firmly closed. 

1st open all the flaps > leave your phone on a bowl with rice or a fabric filled with rice for 1 or 2 days > if that doesn't work then 

2nd take it to a Sony repair cener and request a vacuum test.

i opened and looked.Headset and SDCart entrances are fine,its white.

When i looked charger's cover,there are just some red dots.Not much.very less,very very.

I put it on bowl of rice now.Lets hope it works,

But what if it doesnt? Warranty still available?

Warranty doesn't cover this, I think i will if you request a vacuum test and the issue was that the flaps/covers aren't working properly

Okay,i'll contact with a Sony Service,is there any deadline? I mean,this issue happened like 2 hours ago,is it needed to contact them tomorrow ?

Also,if i got right,you say you say you will if problem is because of flaps/covers right?

Thanks,

@Oben most likely that's the problem (water damage)

So it will cost much if change needed?

In Turkish forums,they say it will cost 1400 Turkish Lira while phone's cost is 1800...
