Z5C loss of waterproof

Hi, I have never taken my phone swimming but Ihave used it in the rain. Last year I noticed the headphone socket would start connecting/disconnecting randomely if water was near the socket. 

This year I have noticd mist and water droplets on the phone camera lens internally - which I cannot clean. 

It was my understanding if water getrs into the device, the white tab near the sim/sd slot would turn red, it is still white. 

It is now 25 months since I have had the phone, can anything be done?

Hello @Shah312;

The white tab near the SIM and MicroSD slot is just a micro switch to turn off the device, not a water detector (as far as I know).

The only thing I think you can do is a pressure test dialing *#*#7378423#*#* to see how far your device is still water/air tight.

Hope it helps.
