Dropped in water

Because I'm smart, I dropped my meizu in water. So i hurridly picked it out, dried it, and was happy to see all was working well. Except I couldn't scroll down, only use the menu and play button. So I turn it off and decide to leave it in the sun to dry, but not it wont turn on?

Any ideas?!?!?

get a packet of silica gel and leave it on it

You should never turn an electronic device on right after it is dropped in water! There was most likely water still on the motherboard when you turn it on, but it probably short circuited something. Try opening your Meizu and take a slilca gel packet and leave the packet inside the Meizu. Leave that under the sun for a week. Either that or your battery short circuited, so first try plugging it in a power source.

because im even smarter, i had my meizu in the washing mashine and i almost cried when i turned it on after i found it and it didnt work. However, a night on the heater made it work again, without any problems. And now it smells really nice

Haha, full marks for that story :D:D

Woo without having to pull it apart, I (a.k.a the sun) got it working again, by leaving it on my window cill. :D At first the controls were a wee bit touchy, but now its perfect, and kinda...slightly...clean?

anyways, thanks :P

haha, right, I think I'll use a different way to clean mine tho! :P

Know this thread is old but I wanted to thank you. Your "technique" made my M8 work. I doused water over my M8 and then it didnt want to boot. After I put the M8 into rice for about 7 hours it worked again!

Even when it's hot, don't jump into the pool with your cell phone, Greckoe

Just kidding, nice to hear it works again!

Nice one . Maybe we should build a company with a slogan like that one "Dropped your water into melted ice? We've got rice!".
