A few months ago, my m505 got wet with 2 big drops of water that went inside the screen by left border of the screen (I hope you can understand that) Well I turned it on and it worked but then it got frozen, I did a soft reset and it worked but after some seconds it got frozen again so I soft reseted it again and I turned it off, I though that maybe if I shaked it strong enough the water would go out but I think that was worse because (Im not sure of this but) the water "stain" went bigger, the water is I think between the glass screen and the silk screen. I left it in the direct sun light to see if the water evaporated but nothing happened. then after some weeks, it seemed to have just a little bit of water but it has stayed like that and it doesnt seem to get any better, I think it has no solution. Now it doesnt crash, but everytime i use the stylus and I tap on somthing it is totally wrong.

Should I open it and separe the silk screen or buy another screen or just throw it away and but another? actually I want to but the UX50 but anyways I suffer when I see my m505 like this :(

Thanx in advance

Sounds bad. You've recalibrated the screen right? Under Prefs, Digitizer?

I've put electronics on top of a warm object before, overnight, to dry them out. Just don't get it too warm!

If all else fails, you can pay to replace the screen.

No, I have not recalibrated the screen, I think that would be worse due to the water, and as it is right know I can somehow use it. About that of putting it above a warm object, what kind of object do u mean?

Thanx

here's the picture, the water is inside the yellow line. The screen is kind of dirty because there was also water

Now it got worse :'(

Since I wasn't able to use it, I always left it in its cradle, and then I saw an improvement when the water started disspearing, but then it didn't improved anymore so I left it since then in its cradle and yesterday I saw that the LED light is pretty poor because it was always on. Its like im seeing my m505 die like terminator's eye :(
