hey dude, sorry to hear your phone's dead. It must likely be truly dead, seeing as you've tried all the repair shops, but I thought I'd type this out anyway, as I just saw some of your old post on the topic to do with "I got into boot loader by connecting wires directly to battery pins and now reflashing"
You were asking
Do U know that trick of stripping the wall charger and than short the pins ...
Which is the 1st Pin from bottom or from top..

...did u ever try it? The other thread I used to look at had this:
Default wires
NO need to i will explain in detail.
1. Take ur phone and put it on ur table =)
2. Turn it so u can see the camera
3. On the right u see 6 Pins.
4. The Pin 1 is nearest to Camera
5. Pin 5 would be far away from camera.

and this
it worked for me with the sixth pin to by the way but that might be why it doesn't work without the wires for me yet.

Hey triplejay
How r u dude..I m currently using an old nOKIA 3315
YES i did tried the charger trick ...dint help.Any other trick..
Well I think i shall give one last shot with this trick.(my phone is still in service stn i have to collect it yet)
The repair guy told me that there is some problem with the "POWER IC"..
He told me it will be repaired at a cost of around Rs3500 i.e around 87~88US$.
I agreed to go ahead for repairs and than next day I called him ..
To my horror he said it cant be repaired as he is not able to find the spares..
He told me the entire board needs to be repalced at a price of Rs.17000.00
i.e.425 US $ .I had bought the phone for 2000Rs (500$)
And I had told him not to repair n here i m with a dead neo.

well you should try a fully charged battery of another prophet user like me ,or may be pass me your permanent cell number privately. if this works and you enter bootloader mode and then format wm5 nvid and swear not to touch rom's again . service centre guy scare you off ,its policy wise correct they charge double the amount for battery Rs2500 which u get for Rs1200 at other places . i can understand your pain cause i lost my ipod mini same way , i think battery is culprit here .don't loose hope.but if you have connected reverse terminals then you might have burnt it already.

Some sign of LIFE
To my surprise when I bought the phone from repairs and put the phone to the wall charger the NEO the batt LED just turned RED and than went off after a few seconds...
What Is the problem with this phone

do you sell your device?

Wht do u mean.
i may sell it off if it does not get repaired..
(GOD PLS,HOPE THE PHONE STARTS WORKING )
i have the BOX with all the acessories including the stylus and HF not used atall.

This is for the HTC
Hi,
can any one tell me what is POWER IC.
the service guy told me its the problem with power IC.
The estimation was around 90$.
But later informed me that part is not available any where on the planet earth...
and the entire board needs to be changed.and guess what he told the estimation "A COOL 425$"
i have some doubt :
why is the spares so expensive??
If the spares are not available than why does HTC manufacture such a phone.
SHAME ON HTC for making such a fragile phone..for which they cannt provide service.
I m as a profession here in INDIA working for a japan based co manufacturing hometheater..we do service the set which are not introduced here in INDIA (obvious at a premium) but it does not cost the set itself.
I think most of you will agree with me on this.
(pls second the motion if u guys agree.)
any ways mean while i mailed HTC but no use i dint get any respond from their side.
I think the company willnever pay attention for a petty issue like mine.
But its admin and moderators guys of the forum who if put a word with the company will take some measures.
PLZ Dont get me wrong and take it in true spirit.

Will This Solution Work.
HI
yesterday I had put my phone on an external charger the phone gave me a RED LED atleast now after eventually giving no sign at all...
Do u guys think this can help me further

Just dropped phone in toilet!

It was submerge for about 3 seconds... but the worst part is that there was excriment in the toilet, so the feces got into the cracks and the cover.
What should I do? I heard putting it in pasta? Does it have to be uncooked? Because I just boiled the last of mine.
Thanks for any help/ideas

Don't mean to sound like a d*** but is this a joke? cuz i laughed once i read the whole post...

clean it, remove the cover/battery/uSD/SIM and Put it all on uncooked rice for a couple days. Don't try to turn it on.

Agreed and then use a cotton swap to try and get as much of the poo out of the cracks and crevices.

Well I had some ****ty Chinese food so its less poo, and more liquid ****. Not sure if I'll ever be able to get smell out.

I even asked the waiter, "What dish won't upset my stomach?"

I once washed my Iphone in the wash machine. When i got it out it was a G1! So Tide really does get the **** out of things!

gutted that it wasnt a clean bowl, but try the rice trick and be patient

your atrix is cursed, heres what you need to do http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fLreo24WYeQ

DO NOT PUT ON RICE!
I dropped mine one week ago, put in rice and mine still died. Buy a T5 and OPEN IT ASAP you can and clean it with Isopropyl alcohol...
OR CORROSION WILL MAKE YOUR PHONE DIE.
Now, i'm without phone, spend $800 dollars on it and it makes me happy just for 1 mouth... and i CANT buy this fuc*** phone again, i was with money on my bed for 1 year to buy a good phone... i'm from brazil and here we dont have much money like americans that can buy the phone for 0.1 cent....
After you clean it, you can put on rice... but CLEAN IT FIRST... search my posts and see the result of my drop on toilet... and mine was just water and uric acid.

Ummm...what the were you so urgently doing on your phone while over a toilet full of boo-boo?! LoL! (Nevermind, don't wanna know.)

Omg samsung galaxy a II has self regeneration capabilities.

OK so a few months back, I got into the this blind rage (not gonna go into the details) and the only thing in my hand was my poor galaxy s2. So I threw it very very hard on the floor and the back cover, the battery, and even the sd card came off. Soon afterwards I picked it up and put everything back in place and to my reliefs, the phone worked perfectly. The battery was even,... How do I say this? Misshapen? I had to reshapen? So it could fit in its place. Anyway, everything worked perfectly except the loud speaker was broken. I could use the phone without playing music through loud speaker and never put it in loud speaker mode during conversations. After a few months of this, suddenly the speakers was understandable again. Might not be as good as when I got it brand new but it works now.
Thanks everyone for reading my stupid post up to this point. If you have, you are patient people.
P. S this really happened I am not Kidding.

Yeah!And XDA will become Umbrella corp.,shooting mutant Galaxy phones everywhere,until they transform everyone to smartphone-loving geeks!And then Neo will come to save us...
Wait,that's three different movies...

Quite sure it will not be XDA, but Apple Inc become the Umbrella corp.

Please.... APPLE WILL die in the next 2 - 3 years. It's not like those fanboys will buy every crappy overpriced products with apple logo sticked to its back forever. Or I could be wrong because those idiots have been doing so for the last 3 or 4 years. Then again now that the curse caster have vanished maybe just maybe....

Don't bet on it as people are generally followers and not leaders. This also explains why they opt for a closed ecosystem,cumbersome procedures to just transfer files via itunes(loonytunes) etc. Steve is their big brother.

“You will not be punished for your anger, you will be punished by your anger.”
Yep true story.

Ah, no biggie.
It's the nanobots. When selfdiagnostic finds any HW faults it releases these tiny nanobots that then repair broken circuits.

I can sadly confirm that these regenerational properties are null and void if your SGS2 happens to be run over by the number 19 tram in Oslo - I suspect the tram number and city are irrelevant.
I'd have taken a picture, but looking at the mangled mess exacerbated my toothache, so I binned it.
Glad I've got an extra. I shall test this one under the #11 tram.

Samsung will be in contact with you shortly to recover their lost super-secret prototype Galaxy S2000 (aka enslave-humans-phone)...

So Samsung Seems to built a SKYNET

Goodbye my beloved x10

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..

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.
How to Save a Wet Cell Phone

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.

know anywhere good to buy a main board?
ive got it in a bag of rice for the night.
i can test a different battery with it tomorrow.
i would assume it would be something on the main board or the battery.
lol sad thing is.... i had my girlfriends skyrocket (that i just upgraded from) in my pocket too. so i also have to repair that one.
i had a feeling i should have bought the active but it wasnt available the way im allowed to purchase yet.
im sure if i replace enough parts in it it will eventually work.

I put my Nexus S though the wash and it lived. The only thing that got wrecked was that battery, so try a new battery before you chuck it out.

should power on with no battery while plugged into charger
