Today, my Galaxy Nexus took a dive in a bucket of water... Pulled it out quickly, but it is almost dead... Screen flickering... Wifi and Network does not work, even though they connect. No incoming or outgoing calls... No browsing...
Tried to dry it using a hair dryer and put it in a small bowl of rice. I can still hear sound of water inside it when I shake it... I hope it lives... Since installing the Slimkat nightlies a few weeks ago, the phone has been fast and awesome...
I had same problem on my nexus 5, I also dropped in water, but repaired it by myself.
Nowadays, all smartphones motherboard are getting double layer coating for components/chips/ic's/resistor/capacitor etc etc. So its not possible to repair motherboard or similar component. Its only need to be replaced. For repairing all such things highly professional technician you need. But possibilities are very low. So, replace it rather than repair, are the instructions given in service center.
When you face same incident do follow these steps below:
0. Never power on device and quickly remove battery [if its removable battery].
If battery is non removing then don't use hair drier with battery connected device.
1. If you know how to open your mobile and mobile is not in warranty then open it yourself. Or take help from online guide/YouTube. Because, if it's in warranty and you open yourself you will void it [as per service center (don't know how they find out you opened or not)]. So don't try to open if it's in warranty, even if you know.
2. Separate each component. Motherboard battery screen.
3. Try hair drier for motherboard, screen and other components. Not for battery. And for screen use hair drier from back side.
4. Now after using hair drier keep all components in air packed bag with rice in it.
5. After 12 hours [not in rainy season] or 24 hours attach each and every component. And try to power on. Its done.
6. You might get problem with screen, water in screen. Never open Screen components [nexus and all other similar]. The only solution for that is replace screen.
7. Enjoy.

Well I do not have single problem with N5 till day.
I use mobiles very harshly, so something always happens, it falls, get scratches on scratch guard...
BTW, tell me how you use it, because these phones are not that stronger.
