Dropped iphone 5 in a little water?

My husband dropped his iPhone 5 while in the shower. The phone still works but tried to ring out and there's no sound at all. Tried the ringer button on the side and it comes up 'headphones' unfortunately I don't have any rice to hand to dry it out… Any ideas?

"My husband dropped his iPhone 5 while in the shower." Was he using it in the shower?

Turn it off NOW! Every second it is left on there's damage being done to it.

Get a vacuum cleaner and use it (carefully) to suck any water out of ports/switches and leave it somewhere warm for "at least" 72 hours. It is important it is not powered up in that time. With a bit of luck it will work after that, but by having it on now still it could be just a paper weight now.

Stop using the phone, take out the battery sim card, any removable components, put everything in a bag of rice, wait about 2 to 7 days. That should dry up everything.

  • My iPhone 5 has water in the screen. Only a little bit though? I put my iPhone on the bench for a few minutes and I did not realise there was water on it. Unfortunately, there's now only a little bit of water. I put the iPhone into a bag of rice and now IIm waiting for it. IIm just wondering how long it will take to get the water out because I need it tomorrow.
  • Little bit water got into my iPhone 6s speaker and the sound isn't working? My phone was in my bra as water got thrown at me by little kids, and i took out my phone and the screen was wet so i wiped off the water and it was fine, however the volume does not work. When i insert headphones the volume does work but i need to volume to work. I put my phone in rice and am hoping for the best… HAS ANYONE ELSE HAD THIS PROBLEM?
  • I just dropped my iPhone 6s Plus and now it has a little green splatter looking thing on it I just dropped my phone about an hour ago but when I picked it up the green splatter, spot thing wasn't there but about 15mins later it showed up. Anyone know what wrong with it and should I be concerned?
  • I dropped my Iphone in water - no water damage showing on indicator? Here is the situation. I dropped my Iphone 5 in the toilet (I hadn't peed yet so all good there). Immediately switched it off, dried it and put it in a bag of rice. This was at about 6 p.m yesterday. This morning without turning it on I opened up the sim compartment to check the circle for water damage (checked online and apparently this is where to check for water damage). The indicator was white. It is back in the rice but I was wondering - when you think it will be ok to turn back on?
