Water Enters Inside Xperia Z Screen – Dissembled, Screen Backlight Recovered to Work

Sony Xperia Z, the first of its kind phone of Xperia Z family elder one from all was launched with many great features the then but now it has been so long since it has been in market.

But some Xperia Z users from time to time are complaining about Xperia Z water resistance failure and such one case we are reporting today.

We tested that when water enters inside Xperia Z speaker grill, it’s volume loudness goes to mum and within a few hours it is back to normal as soon water is dried out. If you ever had such issue with you, kindly check our post in this.

Water Enters Inside Xperia Z Screen

Due to back glass panel of Xperia Z being lifted up, water entered inside the Xperia Z screen and LDC backlight was dimmed and not working properly. XDA user “coolingmy” dissembled his Xperia Z in order to make it function properly and fortunately he succeeded, check it out.

Xperia Z was dissembled by himself and he reached out to screen component to make it dry. All of this was done at home from manual tools. Keep in mind do not perform this with your phone, it will void the warranty and can make your phone non-functional forever.

Water was dried out using a hair dryer.
