IPhone dropped in toilet and now won't turn on - is it officially dead?

I dropped it in the toilet, and only the bottom half of it got in the water. It was only in there for 2 seconds at the most as I swung it out by my headphones immediately.

As soon as I touched the screen I noticed that the touch screen was not working. Then the screen became a bright blue and it shut down, and has stayed shut down for about 15 hours now.

I don't have normal white rice, so I have been keeping it in a bag of wild rice. Still, it's not turning on.

Is it officially dead now or should I keep waiting? Or is there something else I can do?

I'm Sorry for your loss, get it to a geek store (apple geeks) and make the asian parrots revive it with some special mutant technology secretly made by the northkorean government which was later stolen by the chinese.

Yeah Apple store is good idea but also you could set it in front of a fan help possibly dry it out.

You might be able to salvage it if you put it in a jar with uncooked rice for a day or two. The rice might absorb the moisture. I've never done it--only heard about it.

  • I jailbroke my iphone now it won't turn on, so I reset it and it still won't turn on? I jailbroke my Iphone a few days ago, it's an Iphone 4. Everything was working fine until today when I installed a tweak. After the tweak installed I had to restart springboard, now it won't turn on. The apple logo pops up then goes away. I plugged it into my laptop and reset it but it's still doing the same thing.
  • 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.
  • I dropped my iphone in water and now it won't turn on? I dropped my Iphone 4 In the water, I tried to turn it on by pressing both the home and the power button at the same time. The apple loggo started to glow but then it turned off and now I can't turn it on again. Is there any way I can make it work again or should I just buy a new one?
  • I dropped my IPhone in the toilet, and now my home button doesn't work? 2 days ago I dropped my IPhone 4 in the toilet, and pulled it out right away. I dried it off quickly and it was perfectly fine and nothing was wrong. But then last night, my home button started to not work unless I pressed it 10+ times… I have the accessible touch thing on, but I was wondering if could fix this myself?
