Samsung Galaxy S4 Buzzes When Switched On

Samsung Galaxy S4 Buzzes When Switched On

Problem: My fiance tried to power on his phone but it buzzed once and then this yellow screen with a static look to it popped up and then when black. This was after the yellow screen had just stayed there until the phone was powered off. He dropped his phone into the sink but the phone wasn’t even close to being submerged because it was empty. We don’t think its the battery because we tried mine and it did the same thing.

Solution: If this issue occured right after the phone was dropped in the sink then the issue is most likely caused by water damage. Try to dry the phone first by placing it in a bag of rice for at least 48 hours with the battery removed. After 48 hours reinsert the battery then turn on the phone. If it doesn’t turn on then connect it to its wall charger and let it charge for 20 minutes then turn on the phone again.

If the issue persists then I suggest you bring the phone to an authorized service center and have it checked.
