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 try asking if they have xiaomeme ones https://www.aliexpress.com/item/100pcs-lot-Water-Damage-Seal-Warranty-Indicator-Set-Sensors-Stickers-for-Apple-iPhone-4-4G-Motherboard/32821512127.html

@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

@dave just ask to be sure

Or should I just wing it?

They'll know

that's what the sticker is for
