I bought a T610 a month ago and a few days ago it died on me. I took
it back to the shop and was told after a 30 second inspection that it
was liquid damage. The phone may have become slightly damp in the
rain or in high humidity (for all I know), but is this reasonable for
a phone that surely has to be designed to take the normal rough and
tumble of, well, being used rather than in a glass display case.

All my old phones (Siemens admittedly) managed to last years with
normal wear and tear so why is the Sony one so fragile? And is the
phone deliberately made fragile so they sell more handsets and
insurance?

about, you could try claiming that it wasnt fit for purpose...unless
its purpose was to be in a glass display case at all times.

Its easy to tell, the tell-tale signs are blue/green deposits around
the tracks (if visible), battery contacts and charging connector block.


Phones run on electricity, electricity and water do not mix.


Of course not, you simply subjected the handset to more moisture than it
could withstand. You probably did it without even realising - most of
the time when I tell people their phones are water damaged they insist
its never been near any water when clearly it has.

Yes they do. Thats why you should be particularly cautious when
touching electrical appliances with wet or moist fingers.

hello,

I take it you havent seen the latest WATER COOLED heatsink kits for CPUs
in computers? Absolutely lethal if one of them springs a leak!

No doubt an overclocker or gamer tool. The amount that is spent on
extra fast fans and extra big heat sinks, as well as all this water
cooling, system monitoring etc...

..isnt it just cheaper to buy the next CPU up?
