Why is my phone screen black after water damage?

Why is my phone screen black after water damage?

I accidentally dropped my phone in a sink full of water. I took the phone out right away, took the back off, and put it in rice. I took it out a few times after that to check it and when I did it still turned on and worked. However, at one point when I took it out the screen flickered and turned black. I put the phone back in rice for 24 hours and took it out a day later. When I tried turning it on it turned on, but the screen is still black and I can't see anything. Is there anything I can do to do fix this?

sounds like the phone is dead, it is possible that the cable that is connected to the screen came loose so check that but otherwise sorry.

"I experience this one today. I use my phone on taking photos while I'm in the pool. At first, the phone only detected that there is a moisture inside my port. Until I decided to used a hair blower to get rid of it. And then, there is no longer notification. Afterwards, I charged my phone. A few minutes later, an indication of moisture detected. And so I detached the my phone to charging cable. Then, I use my phone to take photos again.

But then, when I turned it on, there is a sign of damaged lines like there is a darker lines and normal lines. And I thought this won't last. Then, I took pictures only in front camera since there is a sign of moisture inside the back camera. And so this suddenly happens..

After taking photos, I do edit pictures through phone. And suddenly, with a 26% battery, my phone blacks out. ??..I started to panic since I've tried all the solutions I have searched in the internet.

And I finally, decided to open the phone trying to fix it myself since I can't afford to pay repair for this in the service center. I found some areas wet. And I tried to open it using the Power On + Volume down. But still nothing works after cleaning. (I didn't do unscrew anything).

The last thing I did today was use an UV sanitizer that I bought in the midst of pandemic. I only put the phone that I opened at the back in the UV Sanitizer (for about 10-15s) and I use the solution I found on making it open ( Power On + Volume up for a 10s). And viola my phone is now working. I am so happy that I want to share to everyone what I did to fix my phone (S10e). Hope it works for you also. I think UV devices can help dry the moisture inside the phone. Feedback me at alleyiahshyne@gmail.com"
