Hi all,

Yesterday, I unfortunately dropped my Xperia Z2 into the ocean. It sank down to a depth of 8 meters immediately and it took us about 30 minutes to get it back up again. It appeared as if water has gotten into the device, so we put it into rice, hoping it would **bleep** up all liquidity. It also wasn't possible to start it again.

I wondered whether you have any other advice before trying to start the phone again? Is there a way to de-construct it so the rice can reach more parts? Right now I worry that the rice is kind of pointless, as it only reaches the two openings on the side.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Thanks

Tobi

Hi again,

I charged it over night, tried to turn it on, but unfortunately the phone didn't react.

Having nothing to lose, I decided to open the back and noticed that the inside of the phone was still wet. Also, the salt water seems to have attacked the hardware - see photo below:

I took out the battery, tried to carefully clean the inside and put it into a rice box again. I don't have a lot of hope for it to start again, so I wonder whether a data recovery service would be able to get the photos back? What do you think?

Thanks again,

Tobi

As they were stored in internal storage,it is difficult to recover anything.You could give it a try.
