Question [Q] Random turn offs.

Helpp!!!!!!!
Dropped my xperia mini and it got very slightly wet.
It didn't turn on when i tried.
I took out the battery, wiped it and put it back in.
Then it booted normally. After a while it shut down.
And it didn't turn on. Then I started charging it after about 15 min of not responding it turned on. It was charging till 20%. Then when i started using it for a bit turned off. Now waiting for it to turn on.
What should I do?
Should I get new phone with warranty?
Or is there solution?
Thanks in advance.

Had two incidents like this, the first incident shorted out my phone (just one second in the water), the second one I wiped dry, wrapped a piece of cloth around it and put it in a sack of rice to absorb the moisture (googled it).

Moral of the story: Never turn on a wet cellphone immediately (even after wiping it dry) lest you want a shorted out unit.

Dunno if doing the latter will make much difference seeing as you turned it on and charged the unit. If it is still under warranty you can try to have it fixed, just don't mention the water incident (though there is a possibility they might find out even after it's dried, dunno really)
