Guys i got my Xperia Z2 water damaged in sea water. The estimated cost for repair by Sony Service Center is around 33,000 INR (rs), which is around the cost of new phone. So i am thinking to get the phone repaird myself.
Can anybody help me with where can i buy the motherboard in India?
I searched alot on the Internet but couldn't find one.
please help me
Yep I learned the hardway that waterproof doesn't cover seawater. Lucky for me my Z2 is more or less use able. My front facing camera, vibration and speakers are on the fritz though.
Anyway to answer your question have u tried looking for a damaged Z2?
What did no one read this part of the manual..
To ensure the water resistance of your device, all covers, including the covers for the micro USB port, the SIM card slot, and the memory card slot, must be firmly closed. Your smart device is waterproof and dust-resistant in compliance with the Ingress Protection (IP) ratings IP65 and IP68, as explained in the table below. To view more specific IP information about your device, go to www.sonymobile.com/global-en/legal/ testresults/ and click on the relevant device name. These specific IP ratings mean that your device is dust-resistant and is protected against low-pressure water streams as well as against the effects of immersion for 30 minutes in fresh (non-saline) water up to 1.5 meters deep. You can use your device: • in dusty environments, for example, on a windy beach. • when your fingers are wet. • in some extreme weather conditions, for example, when it’s snowing or raining. • in fresh (non-saline) water depths of 1.5 meters or less, for example, in a fresh water lake or river. • in a chlorinated swimming pool. Even if your device is resistant to dust and water, you should avoid exposing it unnecessarily to environments with excessive dust, sand, and mud or to moist environments with extreme high or low temperatures. The waterproof characteristic of the micro USB port, the SIM card slot, the memory card slot, and the headset jack cannot be guaranteed in all environments or conditions. Never immerse your device in salt water or let the micro USB port or headset jack come into contact with salt water. For example, if you’re at the beach, remember to keep your device away from the sea water. Also, never expose the device to any liquid chemicals. For example, if you’re washing dishes by hand using liquid detergent, avoid bringing your device into contact with the detergent. After exposure to non-fresh water, rinse your device using fresh water.

Go to ebay.com not ebay.in and search for parts.. You can get it imported which might cost you a bit more and if you've the tools to repair it which i highly doubt, you can fix it. I also know for a fact that if you open your device with a normal mobile service shopkeeper's tools, your phone won't be waterproof anymore. Only OEMs have those kinds of hardware. I suggest you to buy a used z2 or just buy a new phone if you;re willing to spend money, Z3 maybe..
I ebay.In u can buy new one around 20000

Hey guys,
months ago the S3 was said to be waterproofed with a special technology, so you could even record with the phone under about 1 meter of water.
Now Samsung didn't publish any kind of this feature, but somewhere this phone is much more resistant than any before....
Watch this video for example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9xkTt0XPxkM&feature=relmfu
Yes, of course the mic got broken, but the phone itself is still completely functionable. The S3 is the first phone where I signed an insurance for it (primarly because the blue S3 wasn't available in Europe at release and I thought maybe later to switch) so I don't care much about it (handles all cases, even stupidity)... By now it got about four time in heavy rain, completely covered by water. One time I hold it under running water in the kitchen and recorded.. All no problem. The problem I see is that steady water or being dropped somewhere there get's water under the battery case and in the mic input. I'm curious if with the right case you can record under water?
Post your experience with water, but please don't experiment with it as long as you don't have an insurance where your phone is replaced by minutes!
Greetings,
Snew
This phone is not waterproofed or been treated in any way different form previous Samsung phones to make it more waterproof or resistant.
Like many other devices Samsung have probably used a hydrophobic coating on the PCB this is common practice but is not generally considered a feature as its not fool proof . I believe the correct term to use would be its water resistant

It's also got moisture-detecting test patches in several places inside, so if water is allowed to enter, you could have a big argument about the warranty!
Not sure where you read this information, but it was never claimed to be waterproof.
As most phones have to (read: are) designed to have some protection to water (i.e. walking out in the rain, you do still need to use the phone on occasion) this phone is no more protected than those. Think about it, if I put my phone in a sealed see through bag I could record with it providing the bag is sealed correctly.
This applies to anything, if it is sealed correctly it will work under water. As the entrance points for water is only through the back cover, microphones etc - if these are air tight sealed then it will be possible to record under water to a certain extent providing it is not to deep where pressure will break the phone - this in theory will work with any phone.
But there is a new sealing technology (can't remember the name) that is like air bubbles (hard to explain how it works, I'll try find a link) put in around the components so that heat can get out etc, but no water or other alien fluids/materials can enter. From what I remember, no products use this yet as it was in development from when I remember reading it. The phone is obviously not using this technology as you already pointed out the mic got damaged.
Wrap layers of sellotape around the phones entry points and record away...just don't go too deep as pressure can do bad things to phones.

this is just hydrophobic coatings there are many of them and many are already used commonly in many devices.
you are probably thinking of those new ones that have been demo'd in the last year in viral fashion like the one with a shoe and chocolate sauce for fabric.

I just bought a Z2. Very happy with it. But do I need to test it underwater?
Did any of you do that?
I did, day I got it filled the sink with water and in it went

I still haven't yet lol love the phone would love trying underwater photography but if it goes wrong lol...
Sent from my D6503 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Right when I turned it on and configured the settings, I dunked it in a sink full of water. Next day, tried it in a swimming pool.
Well, maybe need to try it then
I did with my white one, worked great. My black one died and I'm still fighting for a refund... Check the screen gaps very closely and give it a whirl.
The way I look at the whole water resistance thing with my Z2 is, if I get caught on the phone in the rain I won't worry about it, thats as far as my testing water resistance will ever go
I use it as a party trick but or if uninformed people are around i go out of my way without saying a word to them is turn on tap and wait a few seconds as they will generally look up from whatever they were doing and then i proceed to slowly "clean it" under the tap, I get all sort of response thes main ones being *gasps* or "are you crazy wtf." then explain it and show its working right after. If you want to make sure your covered by warranty take video of you firmly pressing the flaps down before proceeding with the above cause in the water proof booklet or chapter (cant rember what it which it was) it says if any dust or water is found beneath the flaps the warranty is void. which in my mind translates to even if the flaps seal was broken or faulty from the start you are officially screwed
This is what happened to me
I also bought My new Xperia Z2 from Saudi Arabia. It was w20 model had screen gaps issue both on front and back . Bought it from Sony store and they said that it will not effect waterproofness of the device. Even then i was careful but after a month it was full of finger prints and i decided to wash it and unfortunately water went inside . All flaps were closed and i double checked it . When i took it to service center they said no warranty if water went inside and they will send it to Dubai please check back after 2 weeks.
I posted on Facebook as they may help me but this was their reply was we are sorry and nothing else
On twitter they are not even replying. and they just say contact service center and all i hear from them is excuses. there is not a single scrtach on my device. Unfortunately there is no refund or replacement system here. Really disappointed with Sony services. I saved money for 6 months for this device

Fezan, I can understand that you were saving for it quite a long time but if you did, why did you risk and put it into water?
The problem is, that Sony advertises this phone as IP58 resistant BUT the warranty does not work if water gets inside the phone... They secured themselves...
I understand your frustration though, you just put it under the tap water and saw what happens. Unfortunately you should have done it in Sony store where a representative would check for waterproofnes of the phone, if you do it by yourself, they will hardly ever warrant it.
Even though this phone is supposed to be water proof, I do not intend to test this waterproofness, ever! Not intentionally, at least...

Well You can say its foolish of me to do so. but its one of the main selling feature of Xperia Z line phones and tablet. Imagine if you bought iPhone 5s and fingerprint scanner is completely not working or if phone was advertised with retina display but had lower resolution screen. I know i had a faulty unit but sony support should take that into consideration

Let's say they agree to do it, would not be in the store but service center, how long would it take for the phone to show there was a problem ?

Just got a Z2 today. Used Z1 all the time in the shower and dipped it in water quite a few times. Not a single problem. Probably not going to try it out on the Z2 lol.
I used it in the pool and in the sea.

You have water test markers - you can see them if you open flaps.
If those markers become red, you haven't closed flaps right and your warranty won't be accepted.
But!!!
If those stickers are still white - it's not your mistake and Sony MUST accept warranty.
This device is waterproof and water resistant and you can go diving with it...
Will you do that or not, that's your thing but you have every right to do that.
Only, don't go to sea with it - dive in pool or lake
Salt could cause short-circuit and you'll not have your warranty rights...

Well, I guess you are right but what IF you closed the flaps correctly and one of the seals was bad and the water got inside anyway and marked the marker? This can happen too.
Waterproofness was not the main selling point for me, anyway, I would not risk submerging a 600 Euro worth of a device which was designed to be a phone not a completely waterproof camera
Anyway, I wish you good luck with Sony when going through the warranty process, I hope everything goes fine...

I am not saying you are foolish, maybe it is just me but I am very cautious with my electronics and I don't think I would risk submerging this phone into water. If it was a camera or a device specifically designed to be used under water then sure, why not.
By designed to be used in water I mean something that is well sealed and does not rely on some flaps, which deteriorate proportionally to the number of times you open them etc. I accept the fact that this phone is said to be waterproof but I bought it to be used as a phone and there is just too many catches in the warranty print and too many other things can go wrong.
@valdigre
Totally agree...
I don't need Z2 in swimming pool as well but if I'm not sure for waterproof I would take my device and one bucket with water and do test in the store or service center

A few days after getting mine I took it to a water park and kept it in the pools and down the water slides and all with no problems... Even sat in a hot tub for 20 minutes. Very happy with this device.

Despite the unwise adverts of Sony I tend to see this -water resistance- as a safeguard against accidental water damage. This is NOT an industrial designed device meant for the work place, the Z2 is very much a domestic mobile and I tend to avoid contact with water. I am confident the Z2 is water resistant to the given specifications and feel comfortable using it in the rain etc.
I sincerely think those who take any mobile into the shower ....................well enough said, I shower to wash I cant see why one needs to do such a thing. We all need our personal space and if one cant shower in peace I think its time to revise our daily work patters.
Sea water is a big no no because of the salt as are swimming pools due to chemicals. These facts are mentioned in the manual.
I don't 'drop test' my devices either. I really don't need to confirm what I already know.

You invalidated your warranty. Read your manual..............CAREFULLY.....
Certainly don't tell Sony what you did when you have a problem.

The Xperia M4 Aqua is waterproof and protected against dust, so don’t worry if you get caught in the rain or want to wash off dirt under a tap, but remember: all ports and attached covers should be firmly closed. You should not: put the device completely underwater; or expose it to seawater, salt water, chlorinated water or liquids such as drinks. Abuse and improper use of device will invalidate warranty. The device has Ingress Protection rating IP65/68. For more info seewww.sonymobile.com/waterproof. Note the Xperia has a capless USB port to connect and charge. The USB port needs to be completely dry before charging

I mean the new terms of using waterproof phone is only for Xperia Z5. But i read is too for other phones!
Before changint terms, on M4 Aqua was when phone go exposed to chlorinated water,drinks or other liquids, we must expose/clean it to/with normal water.
It mean i cant now expose phone under water and maybe take photos with it? (When i do it and phone stop work -> lost warranty)
It mean Sony phones are waterproof only when spill phone..
(Cant put underwater..)
But.. When i dont break the phone (as it will not waterproof), it can be waterproof to 4ever?
At the end, IP68 mean unlimited time under water,no? It break phone when it will 30,5minutes and 1.55m underwater?(ex.)
I think, some shops does not recognize warranty and ex. the phone was underwater 0.5meters and 5minutes and stopped working..
And its any way spontaneously open the caps? I have bad dreams about it..

So let's start the discussions with Hi . Im pretty sure many of the Z2 here love to take pictures underwater.But some of the models give moisture on the lens and the PHONE IS 100% IN PERFECT CONDITION. after the action underwater.So why does this happens even when the phone on normal temperature before dipping it under water(Tap water for example). Can anyone explain?
Z2 ended up being shipped with ALOT of faulty units so water resistancy is hit and miss for this device
Not so much with other xperias but it still can happen due to sony finding out that the company who tested water resistancy didnt do it properly
(Aka dipping it in a tank of water and leaving it)
Everyone Participate Please
I'm about to buy this phone so just wanted to make sure if anyone had issues with waterproofing or water test fails like previous Xperia phones.
Please give me your experience with this device in wet conditions
So far I have found the Z5C has way better waterproofing than the z3c, as you are not needing to move the flap to charge the phone all the time
I have used my phone in the ocean (even though it is not specifically designed to be used in the ocean) and washed it off with fresh water afterwards multiple times, and it works like a charn, no leaks or condensation
@nzzane
Great to hear!
Headphones and sound issues till dries
Also, a kind of obvious note. You will have to wait till the phone dries to charge it, and sound quality will be a bit muffled due to the water (until it dries)
@smardu @nzzane
I can live with that
ill recommend to put duct tape on the string hole
i found on my test water can enter from there only
@Superrman
Are the string hole and flaps connected like open tunnel between them (considered faulty units)?
showers, rinses(not washing machine, just tap or hose), thunderstorms A+ for this phone so far!
Sound does get muffled in direct spray and the occasional water drop changes the song lol but all in all had the phone for a year and could sell it as NEW if needed
@Tingles
I guess Sony waterproof smartphones are getting better and better!

I ran mine under a tap and five minutes later the screen stopped working lol.

Our device has these ratings
IP6X. Dust tight.
IPX5. Protected against low-pressure water jet spray for at least 3 minutes.
IPX8. Protected against the effects of continued immersion in water at depths greater than 1 metre. The exact conditions are specified for each device by the manufacturer.
Here's the address for proper precautions for our device, plus some other info.
http://support.sonymobile.com/global-en/dm/waterproof/
Although now that you have had it repaired I would be a little more delicate with that device.:fingers-crossed:
When your phone gets opened, generally consider it to lose its water proofness. However I have been able multiple times using hot glue to perfectly seal it again.
Remember there's an easy and reliable way to check if your Xperia is water proof: Xperia Water Resistance Test
