Hey everyone. I seem to have a problem with my Z1. I bought it a couple of months ago and it seemed to work fine, nevermind the occasional mysterious sudden reboots. Anyway today it suddenly shut off, I kept holding the power button but nothing worked, however after a while it turned on again on its own. Couple of hours from then I took it to the pool, after I made sure it was completely sealed a couple of times, it worked fine for a couple of minutes then it started rebooting on its own for 5-6 times, so I took it out, dried it and left it. 10 minutes later it won't turn on, not a single light. I connected it to a wall charger it booted up the sony logo showed a full battery sign then shut off again. I left until it was fully charged, indicated by the green LED, and tried again, however I got the same exact response. I connected it via a USB, the LED shines dark blue but nothing happens, nor can the laptop install its software. I tried holding the volume+power button nothing happens unless it is charging but not via a USB tho. I even tried hard reseting it but still got nothing. I really do need my phone back as normal ASAP! Thanks! Oh and sorry for taking so long 
Solved! Go to Solution.
It's getting quite weird, it's vibrating and won't stoop and each time I hard/normally restart it still is in safe mode. I tried holding the UP volume and th power button yet it shuts off and when it turns on again it still is in safe mode. Should I try the SUS repair? And if I do should I turn it off hard or normally?
Force it to turn off if you cannot other way.And repair with SUS.
Even when I turn it off it still is vibrating, when I connect it to the laptop it fails to install the software, and when I try the SUS I never pass the connecting phase.
I am out of ideas.Try contacting a staff member:

Okay will do. I also noticed something fog-like on the back camera lens so I put the phone in rice, isn't that what I should do?
Yes,it could help.That could be moisture.
Sorry for being such a bother but should I keep the flaps open or closed? Oh! The mobile stopped vibrating on its own!
You should open the flaps to help the phone dry up faster.Maybe you could try a little later to repair again.
For how long should I leave it in there?
1 day should be enough.
