You act like one cannot have a damaged screen when water is involved and vice versa.

I say both.

But wait, are you saying the phone worked properly since the incident and only failed recently?
Could be just the screen going south, but it could potentially be damage from the water rearing its head, so I cant say for sure.

You know that there are forums for Z1 in android central and a lot of users there had these issues?
