Goodbye my beloved x10

[1eyedmonster]

Today is a very dark day! A doomsday in retrospect as I have by no fault of my own dropped my X10i down the toilet! It doesn't turn on and I don't even get a light. I
Have had it since 2010 and not a scratch on it but all is lost due to the monster in the loo!
I have had many good memories and have met a lot of friends but my insurance have assured me that I would not get another x10i due to Sony erriccson not existing so I must say goodbye to the x10

I would like to thank oodie for his awesome miui,wolfbreak for his gaming rom and free xperia team and all other devs for there awesome work and all the fixes which has enabled the x10 to still be living on
however mine is not I wish the x10i as many updates and a long life.

Dont give up just yet.. You should've not attempted to turn it on immediately after soaking but you might still try putting it in a pack of rice (I know it came from the loo and putting it in some rice is not a good idea) for a week to soak up the moisture and then try booting it up..

It was already on when it went in and it took half an hour to find it looks like there's liquid between the digitizer and won't even charge I think its definitely dead

I dropped my first x10 down the toilet too, it must be a common problem, it didn't work either so I rang the insurance up for a new one but it had dried out and started working by the time it'd been delivered. I still got the new one because I didn't really fancy a phone that'd been down the toilet though.

The next phone I lost walking my dog in the snow, so I rang up the insurance company to get a new one and, by some sort of miracle, I found it again about 2 weeks later, so I took it home, dried it out because the snow had melted by then and it still worked!

So you never know, all hope might not be lost.

It's never goodbye, it's just until we meet again.

Xperia X10 Disassembly Guide

I've pulled my XPERIA X10i apart to repair( I do have correct tools) a 'stuck' microSIM and it's SIM card adapter and it's not to hard and gives better access to dry out parts.
This should NOT be attempted if you have no experience in disassembling and reassembly of a cell phone and/or the phone is under warranty or has insurance.

Thank you so much to you all for your advice but its definitely caput! Its been out for a day now and it still has water between the screen and digitiser and as it was there for half an hour so its a lost cause! The worst thing is I kept it immaculate condition it no scuffs scratches and my Mrs actually called it my second woman as i looked after it better than her and after 3 years it was still like new. Anyway I am not leaving xda I have a nexus 7 and I will soon have a new android 'wife' I just hope it will keep me as happy as my x10 did
However if the insurance offer a cash settlement I might go for another x10

First things to do when u accidentally bath your phone is pull out the battery, do not turn it on. Until it dries out.

AW: Goodbye my beloved x10

build it into the single parts. there are many instructions on this on youtube. then you can dry the screen and let it be for a week or better more in rice and afterwards build it together again.
Then it could work again.
