I wanted to know where the water damage indicator sticker was on the SE W580i. Is it in the center of the fcc sticker a small see through square. I know there is on the battery, but where is it exactly on the phone. Need to know, might have bought a water logged phone.

You should be able to see it through the center part of the fcc sticker. i should know. mine is bright pink lol i dissassembled the whole phone after dropping in a puddle! go figure.... why do you think your phone has water damage? i'll buy for parts if you don't want it.

There are many indicators, but the only one you can see without taking the phone apart IS that tiny square in the FCC sticker. If you remove the sticker, there are indicators on the flex connectors. These ones turn yellow when they get wet. Also, under the LCD there are three more, which turn yellow, too, if they get wet. Sometimes there are a few more stuck inside, but the ones I mentioned are the ones I see on all W580's.
