Recently I met with an unfortunate event at work, where my Lumia 950 XL got some water into it.
The phone was not fully submerged, thought it was towards the bottom, usb port side.
I instantly removed the battery and wiped away any visible water, it seemed mainly to be in the USB C port and near the battery connectors.
After letting the phone dry in sunlight for two days I further opened it up and let it dry more (warranty was already void).
After a total of 3 days to me it seemed like the phone may have dried, so I decided to try and boot it (probably a mistake).
The phone, without me pressing the power button, kept turning on, displaying the Microsoft boot screen, then restart all over again. Stuck n this cycle.
Now I gave the phone to a guy to clean with alcohol, which he did, and for good measure reinstalled the software using WDRT, and still the phone is stuck on the same reboot sequence.
It might be a list cause, but is there any chance of saving my phone?
More info: This is the second time my phone got water damage. The first time it worked, as in I could boot it, buy the display had gone green (touch worked, but no display, just a green glow).
I let the phone stay for a while, after which I started using it via continuum, which heated the phone up a lot, thereby fixing the display automatically (left over water must have dried off).
This time though, the symptoms seems to tell me there could be a more severe problem, like in the IC/power supply.
For the replies, thank you in advance!
