also if you plug your phone in without the battery plugged in, does it turn on at all?

I'm not opening my Note 4x to check that

what's going on david

it's literally so easy fam

what you trying to do?

I dunked it in water, something broke

and I just wanna see what's broke

<:kms:327934280619655179>

it should be completely dehydrated now after a day in rice

and a few hours hooked up to the charger as apparently the flashing red notif light means dead battery (so charge for a few hours) or dead phone

no the phone will not start with no battery plugged

and now the weird qc_ushub (or whatever) isn't popping up in device manager

i mean like plugged into usb with no battery @Phatique

Send it back for warranty

that's what i sent an email to geekbuying about (excluding the water part ofc)

i'm just worried that pink part is a water detector thingie

ya know, like a universal indicator but for moisture

@dave yes it still wont, battery gives all the power

oh ok, makes sense then

its usb -> battery -> phone

how its connected

normaly water detector thing in phones is in charging port

@dave https://youtu.be/yp8J9utFS7g?t=123

the sticker is white in this teardown by a pajeet

caucasian*

its water detector then

*but* its possible he has the pajeet version of the note 4

pajeet*

normaly they change to pink so it would explain it

yeah it definitely is the water damage detector @dave

this is why you dont pee on your phone dude

@dave problem solved http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/WATER-LIQUID-CONTACT-DAMAGE-SECURITY-STICKER-FOR-IPHONE-6-PLUS-5-5-x-5-SETS/281891821400

find one of the right size, obviously

i think those ones that tribit linked would work

about same size

you can probably just cut it to size

they wont notice
