Phone won't charge after dropping in water

I dropped my phone in water last night. but got it out as quickly as possible, dried it off / shook out as much water as possible and thought it was fine. When I woke up this morning, though, I plugged it in to charge, which at first was fine, but soon it was losing battery dispite still being plugged in and soon it wouldn’y recognise the charger at all. My battery’s been bust for a while and can run out in minutes so I tried to back my phone up as quickly as possible, but lo and behold it ran out. It now recognises when I plugg in / unplugg the charger, however its not booting up again. Is there anything I can do to get it to turn on long enough to back it up? I don’t need to save the phone, as I said the battery was going and I was planning to buy a new one soon anyway.

Not sure if it helps or is relevant but other things I noticed this morning were that the headphone jack had also been affected (thinks headphones are plugged in), the sound randomly put itsself on full / turned itsself all the way down and the on button is also sketchy.

With water damage, you have to decontaminate the logic board before doing anything else, otherwise there will be latent issues down the road. Sometimes water damaged phones will work for a short time before failing completely. That is actually the worst possible scenario because a proper decontamination would have probably saved the phone. Keeping it plugged in just amplifies the corrosion and can kill critical subsystems, leading to a dead phone and possibly lost data.

Not every water-damaged phone is recoverable and depending on the kind of liquid (salty, dirty, filthy), sometimes the success rate is quite low. That said, IMHO, it's always worth a try otherwise we are just piling up the e-waste.

Whatever you do, avoid putting a phone in rice or leaving it sit, drying”, for days on end. The water is inside the phone, on the logic board and under the shields, even under the IC's. The real problem is the mineral deposits that can cause short circuits or the corrosion that is taking place as the water evaporates. Leaving the power on the device accelerates the process. The longer you let a phone sit, the more time you are giving corrosion to damage your logic board. The saltier or harder the water is, the more damage will occur. The water needs to be displaced, not evaporated. Here’s a great video that summarizes these issues.

The proper way to treat a wet phone is to do the following:

  • Open your phone and remove the logic board (follow this guide)
  • Inspect the logic board, especially around the connectors and look for corrosion.
  • Inspect both sides of the board. Unfortunately, most of the board is covered in shields. That's usually where the damage is occurring.
  • Put your board in a container with >90% isopropyl alcohol and let it sit for a while.
  • Use a soft brush, like a toothbrush and lightly brush away any corrosion you see.
  • Rinse in alcohol and repeat.
  • Let it air dry for a day.
  • Re-assemble and hope for the best.

You should also replace the battery if it has swollen. Resist the temptation to pop it to let the gas out. A compromised Li-ion battery is a fire hazard.

A professional repair shop that does water damage repair may be able to recover your data because they have access to pro-level ultrasonic baths and specialized cleaners as well as the skills to troubleshoot your board. Many shops have a no data/no fee policy so you don't have to spend money to find out if the data is recoverable or not.

Sounds like there is still water inside your phone stop trying to turn on or charging as if there is water inside it can short circuit and zap circuits of your phone causing permanent damage.

best option is to get the phone opened up and dried fully before attempting to power it up again
