I don't know. But, this happened to my dads droid too. Almost the exact same thing. The menu and all those buttos light up wen I turn on the screen and i get tactical vibration if I touch the screen to try to unlock it, but its just staying black. We've tried all the same stuff. I don't think its fixable.

Didn't you start a thread a earlier today saying you purposely put the water on it to clean it off?

Take the battery and sd card out, and LEAVE them out at least overnight. I'd recommend getting silica gel to soak up the water that may have seeped inside. after a couple of days, try turning it on, more than likely it will work again.

Earlier you said you intentionally put water on it and now you dropped it into a puddle? :huh:

Stop trying to turn your phone on. Take it apart and remove the battery. Let it sit for a day or two, at least, to dry out. Trying to start up a wet phone is only going to fry it faster.

I still can't stop laughing at that line haha.

Droidboi12: we are all here to help you, but you've gotta tell us the truth and you have to follow our instructions. Like Lorelai said, if you keep trying to turn your phone on while there is still water in it, you are going to fry that phone.

it was either that or "kill it with fire"

because, hey, your first option should always be throw a fireball at it
