Water damaged phone, turns on but screen is black

Actually rice is a very good idea. Rice will suck out all of the moisture in the phone. its saved many phones of mine.

Well, if rice does nothing, then it's neither a bad nor a good idea... ;-)

that's what you think Elyssa but the truth is you have been lucky

Rice has helped me in the past so no, rice isn't useless or a bad idea thats just another person opinion. (Rice absorbs the moisture) what do you think people did before iso alcohol etc was created.........

Isopropyl alcohol was invented in 1920, so it's been here throughout the lifetime of modern electronic devices that might require cleaning and/or moisture mitigation. And silica gel, a much better solution to absorbing moisture than rice, has been around since the 1640s.

So I would need to go to one of those local repair stores to fix it?

Unless you want to take it apart yourself and clean it. I would start with a distilled water and baking soda mixture and gently scrub the board with a soft toothbrush and clean it really good. Make sure the LCD connector and flex cable for the LCD are clean. If that still doesn't work you either have board damage with the traces on the board and backlight issues or the LCD is toast and needs replaced. You can take it to a shop if you prefer.

But where is that located? Would i have to go over my screen or take the screen apart?

I have Samsung S 10 5g I made 3 videos with it in the pool the phone was working perfectly but after some time when I put the phone on charging its screen go black as dead. Its working in the background I can receive message and call anyone using Bixby but phone is just blacked. What should I do with that.

An a51 you have to turn it off by pulling the screen down no way can I do that because I cant see it

My phone s10e drop in water damage

Newer models of samsung phones cant be opened without some tools. so if these tools are not handy, what should one do? currently, phone screen is all black and has refused to go off.

@kennethpeniel Generally Samsung phones don't require much in terms of tools. A tiny Phillips screwdriver is probably the most specialized tool needed, along with something to open the phone with. You need something thin and stiff; think along the lines of a guitar pick or maybe a plastic playing card; credit cards might be a possibility but they're generally thicker than what you're looking for. A heat source is handy; an ordinary hair dryer works fine. The careful use of fingernails can substitute for a spudger, and you can clean up with Q-Tips and rubbing alcohol, although you want to use the higher concentration 90% version and not the 70% stuff we all have around the house.

Read through the guide and make note of the tools used. Figure out what you can use as a substitute for the things you don't have, and at worst you might have to order some inexpensive tools.

Finally, if you decide to replace the screen, keep an eye out for one that comes with the needed tools like the iFixit Fix Kits.
