why don't you send it to a service center and let them quote you on how much repairs would cost? might be worth a try, before considering a new phone purchase...

Hello,
My K800i was emerged in water last week, and so i took it apart and dried it out and it miraculously started to work again, but soon after i needed to charge it but when I plugged it in it turned off straight away and now wont turn on again and wont charge
I emailed sony ericsson and they said to install the update service thing from the website but then your phone needs to be fully charged which obviously it can't be..
So I wondered if anyone knew what I could do, and if i could get it fixed or replaced and how? And if it it would cost? (it's still in warranty)
Thanks alot i Hope you can help x

How much battery life did the phone have left? imho it's not essential to have a fully-charged battery, this is just to ensure you have enough charge for the update process. Even a half-charged battery should be sufficient, I've done updates on that level before. Not sure it'd help with moisture damage, but it's worth a try just in case!
With regards to warranty, I doubt you'll be covered, moisture damage sadly usually isn't.

The battery bar was literally empty, and if i had left it much longer without putting charger in i'm sure it would have turned off anyway. Thanks for te link, i might try the rice thing..do you think that's the problem, that there is still moisture in the phone?
thanks again

Dude that sucks. I dropped mine down the toilet fully submerged for 2 few seconds and it still works. BUT my dictionary erases itself all the time and as little as that may sound its so annoying.
Oh, I believe you, dude.. That can be VERY annoying. Especially for me, I cant send an sms without using the dictionary! (especially not with my 'own' words.. *cough*)
