Hi,
Don't even ask me how because I'm too embarrassed, but basically, I left my s4 in fresh water for about 15 minutes before I noticed.
Once I did notice, I took it out, removed the battery, mini sd and sim, dried it a little before putting it in rice in a sealed container. I did the same with the battery.
After over 3 days I decided to give it a go as everything seemed dry. I put the battery in, turned on, and the screen flashed up, not with the usual samsung logo, but just with a battery icon. It lasted for just a few seconds, but from what I can recall, it looked kinda like when the battery is low - it was more or less fully charged before the accident. Then it turned off, and I didn't manage to turn on the phone again with a charger either. I also tried with charger and no battery, but I guess that usually doesn't work anyway.
The screen seemed undamaged pixel wise, but I didn't get a chance to try the touch screen.
Now I've put the phone back in the container (can't use it anyway) and as I don't know of anyone else with a s4, I've ordered a fairly cheap replacement battery to see if that's the main issue. Any ideas? Any chance it might work with a new battery?
Thanks
