Z2 problems after putting it in water

Hi everyone I bought Sony Xperia Z2  and I tried to test the water resistance of the phone for like 3 minutes inside a big cup full of clean drinkable water and then after pulling it out the screen back light was gone and I only hear the phone sounds that prove the phone is still working but I don't know what happened to the screen. please help me

I'm sorry to hear that, but contact your local Xperia Care asap to get your phone inspected

If the screen was cracked then the phone wasn't waterproof.

I appreciate it but i really can say that only the back screen light is gone other ‫than that the touch screen is responding to my fingers the sounds are playing through the speakers the vibration is working I can feel almost everything except that the backlight off the screen is gone

You should NOT be using the phone as the LCD was water damaged, and using the phone might damage the phone further.

Don't forget to use rice. 

The phones are waterproof, as long as they flaps are firmly closed and there aren't any physical damages to the phone.
