Screen dims too much?

HanHadGod — Sat, 14 Jan 2017 14:16:56 GMT

Hello there i'm new here, so... i played games till my phone becomes quite hot so i decided to pour water on it while its screen is off, few hours later i plan to search for something using my phone but the screen died or so i thought, tried to force off and turn it on, it vibrates so battery is still working but the screen isn't turning on, went to nearby lamp to see if screen actually off, its actually turned on but its way too dark to actually see anything even under bright lamp, i managed to gain manual control of brightness, its brightness is still way too dark even if it's max(not even getting brighter), my fault for pouring water if that's the cause, any possible solution before i take it to SSC?

it wasn't really a good idea to pour water on it while hot. as you know water +heat= vapor/moisture. so it might have caused something inside the device.

try to search about first aid for water damaged phones.

but the best way would be to visit your local service center Local support

@HanHadGod

You could try to use a bag/bowl with rice for some hours but as @nolramlb stated, it's not a wise move to use water or even ice or place the phone in a fridge/freezer as some other users have suggested, also, do NOT leave your phone under direct sunlight or apply heat in an attempt to dry it.

ha...I knew it's my fault, been doing this for quite some time so i thought i would be fine if i do more, oh well i broke the lighting, at least touch sensor still works so i could fiddle around with it before send it to SSC
