So i dropped my phone in a sink with water in it, my phone (A70) fell about half way in with the bottom, going in first. I took it out almost immediately and the next day took it to a repair shop and had them clean it out for me to remove all the water. After that they said it would over £100 to fix so I decided no for now. I got home and the phone still didnt work (not surprisingly) but then I've tried it today and it worked? After doing the power and volume down thing. But now its stopped working again. Is this a short from the board to the LCD? Or do I just need a full new screen? TIA

How could we possibly tell ? You'll have to go to some repair shop or to Samsung and let them have a look. You could try Samsung's Fast Repair Sevice.

@Jazmin0203: I had a similar scenario whereby my phone was exposed to water, stopped working, but functionality returned when left in a cool, dry place for a few hours. It's very difficult to diagnose why your A70 has failed again, therefore I think it's best to have an authorised engineer inspect the device.

Try to put your mobile in rice about 24 hours.

If it doesn't work, some components probably got damaged and you should take your mobile to a Samsung Support Center.
