I dropped my iphone 5 in water what should I do?
I dropped my iPhone 5 in water for maybe 3-5 seconds. I got it out and took the case off immediately. I got all the water off the front back and sides. I got a q-tip and got as much water as possible out of the audio input and the charger port. I didn't turn it off though my power button is broken (not from this) and if I turned it off the only way I could turn it back on is to plug the charger in which if it's been in water could possibly do more damage. It's been sitting for about an hour and its still on and working. All the buttons work volume the switch for vibrate and ring the home button and the screen still works. Is there anything else I should do?
Since it works (which is obviously good news), just for safety measures leave it in a bag of rice overnight, it should absorb the leftover moisture in your phone!
Put it in a bowl of rice for the night. It should soak most of the water up.
Put it in rice.
You better get the moisture off what you do is get zip plastic bag put it inside and put as much rice as possible zip the plastic so that air won't get out leave it for a while so that the rice will absorb the moisture.
Well silicon pellets work the best. The little packets in electrical products you buy have them. Just put the phone in a plastic with an open packet package of silicon. If you do not have silicon then place in sealed bag or container of rice.
- I dropped my iPhone in water, what should I do? I was at the pool and dropped my phone into the hot tub, then turned it on. It froze then went completely dead. Theirs a red light at the top of the phone that's on. Ps it's a 5s. I need help urgently what should I do? I don't want to have to get a new phone
- 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?
- I dropped my iphone in water i dried it ans it works fine just that the volume is a little messed up. What should i do? I turned it off and placed it in rice but i'm tempted on turning it back on how long should i leave it in rice?
- I dropped my iPhone in water and now the screen won't turn on what should i do? It seems like the phone is still working because it still makes noise when I touch the buttons and my alarm still went off this morning but the screen is completely black. It is in rice now but is that still the best solution if everything is working except my screen? And I know I'm supposed to turn it off but I can't because the screen won't work.
