Is it possible to fix an iphone 4s which have been submerged into water?

I dropped my Iphone 4s into the toilet bowl recently. I did quickly fished it out in less than 5 seconds but i tried to test and use it for a while and a few minutes later it shut down on its own. The next morning i send it for repair. It has been 4 days since i send it for repair. Is it possible to save it? I'm really worried, if you send it for water repair does it usually take so long?

Just to ease your mind, contact the repair shop and ask about the status of the repair. Don't "needle" them, just ask and give them time. They realize you need the phone back As soon as possible, but you need to realize that yours is not the only phone in for repair.

In your case, you've done damage to the phone and at the minimum it needs to be completely dried out. It may not be repairable, but it has to be dried out completely for them to know what's next in the process.

If you really don't want to pay any money, remove the 2 screws on the bottom of your phone, this will allow the back glass to slide off. Put the phone into a bag of rice for 24-48 hours. Put the glass back on and put the screws back in. If your phone still does not work, bring it to an apple store, or sell it on ebay as "For Parts, Not Working". Hope this helps.

  • My iphone 5 has been water damaged how do I fix it? I dropped my phone in some water 2 nights ago, so as suggested by everyone I placed it in the box of rice. However I was in a state of panic and tried to switch the phone on. It is now stuck on a solid red screen and won't turn off. How do I fix this? I would also rather not have to take it apart in order to fix it
  • My iphone 5 got fully submerged in water So I was swimming with my friend in our lake and my iPhone 5 was in my pocket. And I jumped in. We swam for about 5 minutes. When we came back. Well, you know the rest. Now, I let it dry and plugged it in. Came on, no water damage on screen. Looked fine. But shut off shortly after. Is this recoverable? If so, how?
  • Iphone submerged in water, logic board has water damage? My phone was under water for 10 sec. Atleast and in my wet pocket for about 2 minutes. Led wouldnt turn off and power / lock button didn't work… Put it in rice and two days later i charge it apple logo pops up then writing pops up above the apple logo. Will the guy taking my phone to clean it out and try to fix it need my passcode? And will my contacts, apps, photos, music, internet history still be on my phone? Like when he fixes it turns and on and stuff?
