Solution: Before performing any troubleshooting steps it’s best to make sure that the phone is running on the latest software version. If an update is available then I suggest that you downloaded and install it first.
Since this phone does not have any waterproofing feature then it’s likely that the phone has suffered from water damage due to its drop in the pool. Listed below are the recommended troubleshooting steps that you need to do for this particular issue.
Turn off the phone
The first thing you will want to do in this case is to turn off the phone. The longer it is turned on with water present inside the more likely that some component can become water damaged.
Wipe the phone
The next step is to make sure that the external part of the phone is not wet. Use a microfiber cloth to remove any liquid on the device.
Place the phone in a bag of rice/ silica gel
To remove any presence of moisture inside the phone you will need to place it in a bag of rice or silica gel for at least 48 hours. The rice or silica gel will absorb any moisture present in the phone. Take note that you should remove the SIM card and micro SD card when you perform this step.
Charge the phone
Before attempting to turn on the phone you should fully charge it first. In case the phone has difficulty charging then try cleaning its charging port using a can of compressed air first then use a different charging cord and wall charger to charge the phone.
Turn on the phone
Turn on the phone by pressing and holding the power and volume down buttons for at least 10 seconds.
Perform a factory reset
One last troubleshooting step that you should consider doing is a factory reset. This reverts your phone to its original factory condition. Take note that this will delete your phone data.
- Turn off the phone.
- Press and hold the Volume Up key and the Bixby key, then press and hold the Power key.
- When the green Android logo displays, release all keys (‘Installing system update’ will show for about 30 – 60 seconds before showing the Android system recovery menu options).
- Press the Volume down key several times to highlight ‘wipe data / factory reset’.
- Press Power button to select.
- Press the Volume down key until ‘Yes — delete all user data’ is highlighted.
- Press Power button to select and start the master reset.
- When the master reset is complete, ‘Reboot system now’ is highlighted.
- Press the Power key to restart the device.
If the above troubleshooting steps fails to fix the problem then this is most likely caused by a component that has become water damaged. The best thing that you can do right now is to bring the phone to a service center and have it checked.
