Samsung Galaxy S II: Water damaged phone, turns on but screen is black

Tue, 23 Dec 2025 18:17:46 -0700

Just recently, I dropped my phone in water, panicked and took battery and such out and dried the pieces and placed them in rice. I took it out and found out that my phone can turn on, receive notifications and all, but my screen won't turn on and remains black. I went to Sprint store, told me that they do not look at water-damaged phones... What are my options? The phone minus the screen is working perfectly and i would hate to buy a new phone.

When I reboot my phone I will continuously get a message on my screen saying "Unfortunately Stock Android has stopped working". I have looked everywhere and spent a couple hours on the net looking for responses on how to fix this with no response... I also cannot get my phone to update using system update.. Any idea on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated..

iPhone 4 Verizon: LED light won't turn off even when powered down!

Thu, 18 Feb 2021 23:47:44 -0700

My iPhone 4 recently got wet and now the LED stays on all the time, even when the phone is turned off. Everything else works fine. Is there a way to fix this without having to replace the whole phone?

iPhone 5s: Why does my iPhone 5s have a red screen?

Wed, 03 Feb 2021 19:31:28 -0700

I recently changed my screen. After that, everything worked just fine. But when my phone died, I was trying to charge it, and a red screen showed up. The first time it happened, I fixed it. Then, I tried turning off the phone and it happened again, but I was able to fix it. The last time was the other night. My phone battery drained again so when I was trying to turn it back on, the red screen showed up and now sometimes a blue screen shows up too. I'm unable to fix it now. I tried removing the screen and putting it back on but it still shows the red screen.

iPhone 6s: Unable to activate - error.

Fri, 12 Jan 2024 02:04:31 -0700

Trying to set up this iPhone 6s and I keep on getting this message.

Unable to Activate

An update is required to activate your iPhone.

I have put it into restore mode twice now into iTunes on my Mac and attempted to Update & Restore. Still coming back with the same thing. Haven’t tried just restoring but it’s saying it needs an update. Also has the small exclamation mark in the top left hand corner with a “No Service” sign next to it, even though it has a SIM in it.

Any help would be much appreciated.

iPhone 5s: iPhone stuck on red battery logo screen

Sat, 27 Dec 2025 10:54:29 -0700

My iphone died completely and turned off. So it's been 3 hours charging and it's not turning on, it's totally just stuck on the red battery logo screen. I was thinking about restarting it or put it in dfu mode, but there are two problems: 1) my home button isn't working, 2) it's turned off so it's not detectable to the pc

Anyone got any idea how to fix that?

Motorola Atrix 4G: What adhesive / glue is best for screen replacement?

Tue, 10 Sep 2024 04:18:47 -0700

I recently shattered the screen of my Motorola Atrix 4G. I purchased replacement screens (yes, multiple) from Global Direct Parts.

It works fine, except I must have pulled most of the adhesive off when pulling out the old screen. The new screen barely sticks down.

I realize standard glue is not appropriate here. What adhesive should be used to stick the new screen down, and where can it be purchased ?
