Xperia M2 Aqua wont start! Red light!

FrontareeN — Mon, 18 Jul 2016 11:16:04 GMT

Hello!

So I was playing Pokemon Go on my Xperia M2 Aqua and suddently my phone starts to freak out and open my settings/drag down the notiflication screen even though I am not touching the screen. Soon after that it goes into a black screen and wont turn on. It is not overheating and the battery was on 60%. I did pour some water on it to cool it down around 20 minutes before this happened but I made sure all the slots were sealed properly.

I get home and try to restart it using the off button and tried to start it with power on + volume button but nothing happened. Charging did nothing either.

After maybe 10 minutes of charging a red light shows up and a "fat green line" on the screen shows up. (Check the picture, it doesnt show a red light on it but it was there when it was charging.

I unplugged it and now I dont know what to do? Help is very much appreciated.

EDIT: It is now consantly humming/buzzing. Should I try to turn it on? Or charge it maybe?

let me get this straight,. your device was exposed to water before the problems started? it seems somehow the water got iniside the phone.

try to see the water damge indicator (found inside the flaps) if it is still white,. red means water exposure.

visit your local service center to have your device checked Local support

Hi @FrontareeN, sorry to hear this.

I also suggest that you contact your Local support about this. I'm afraid it do seem like your phone is in need of service.

That device is toast by the look of it.. Either overheated or water damage
