IPhone 5 went through washing machine
So, I was doing some washing and my boyfriends iphone 5 was in his pocket and it went through the washer at 40 degrees. We put it in some rice and placed in the airing cupboard for a few days but its still not working. He doesn't have insurance and Vodafone won't cover water damage. BUT! We checked on the apple website and it said the moisture indicator where the SIM card is should turn red (it's normally white/silver) and it is still white/silver and there are no signs of corrosion (around the jack, charger input, etc.) which apple said would show if there's water damage. Should we just take it to a Vodafone or apple shop to ask them to replace it? Will they know there's water damage even though we can't see any?
These people are expert of course they'll.notice
Even if the carrier he is on doesn't have coverage for water damage, apple does for a whole year. Take it to Apple and they should tell you what to do.
Apple will not fix or repair a water damaged iphone.
also the rice trick doesn't work on idevices.
there's a water sensor in the headphone jack and one in the charging port.
- What should I do with my iphone after it went through a 15 minute washing cycle? I don't know if this matters but my phone was cracked before it went through the wash and now it has a tiny chip in it. There was also detergent and fabric sofenter.
- My iphone 5s went on a washing machine and it turns on and the screen too but the touch dosent work? I tried putting it in rice and drying it with a hair drier or blow drier everything works except the touch and the screen has a white strap going down and you can see the water or water stains any suggestions
- My iphone 5 was in the washing machine It was in the pocket of a pair of sweatpants for about 5 minutes by the time i realized i had left it in there the water had just started to run. My phone was wet but there didn't seem to be too much damage. The music still played fine and i could hear people on calls. But then i noticed a screen discoloration in the bottom left corner! Is this bad? Do i need to go to the Apple Genius Bar or to the Verizon store? I'm soaking it in rice now and it is still in warranty.
- IPhone dongle went through washing machine? I accidentally left the dongle (lightning to aux adapter) in the pocket of a jacket that went through the washing machine. The cord s completely dry, so is there any harm in trying to plug it into the iPhone and an aux cord to see if it still works?
