    Now I know my s4 has water damage. How do i know what parts are bad and where can I buy the parts to fix the phone. Or do I need to buy another?.

      Water damage is bad because it causes corrosion to the electronics over time. This is the main reason phone manufacturers like to deny warranty claims if water damage exists in the device. It’s hard to fix because the problems build over many weeks and months. Fix the parts that you notice don’t work, but be prepared to buy a new phone.

      You might need a new phone battery for your S4, or the connectors might be rusted.

      Hi, the same thing happened to my phone this morning. The only place where it did charge was when it was connected to my laptop, but it ended up overheating after ten minutes and automatically stopped charging. Did you have to replace the battery?.

        Remove the battery and plug the phone in to charge. I’m not sure, but I don’t think the phone needs the battery to work from a power socket. If phone works without overheating, then you will know the battery is the problem.

    Hi does entry of water cause the phone to overheat and zap battery like crazy?.

      Entry to water can short circuit the Samsung s4 battery, yes. In this case the battery will quick discharge and electrocute anything in the water as stored charge dissipates. Be careful.

    So, to be clear on the moisture/water damage stickers there was:

    1) one in the battery compartment (yours looks to be a dot, but the one on mine is a square.
    2) One on the battery itself
    3) one under the microphone
    4) Did I see one on the frame when you removed the earphone jack?
    5) Did I also see another near the edge of the phone?

    My phone was dropped in water. I think I did a pretty good job of drying it out but I’ve been told that my voice is breaking up during phone calls, I’m assuming that I did not remove all the water from the microphone seeing as it’s a pressure sensor with a deep silicon cavity.

    Great video by the way, thanks.

    There’s a thumb port along the side of the device for you to use your fingernail to remove it. I think its next to the volume rocker.
