My iPhone charging port is not working?

I dropped my iPhone 5 in water the other day. I immediately put it in a bag of rice to dry it out. This worked, and the phone was working great. However, when I tried to plug it in, I noticed a full piece of rice that was lodged down in the charging port. I was able to get it out with a toothpick, but the port doesn't work very well even though it appears to be empty. The phone will charge, but it cuts in and out almost constantly, which is very frustrating. Any suggestions on how to fix this.

May have to get a can of air and blow out dust particles from the rice. Also any possible dampness that may be still in there, even if its a tiny bit of moisture

Water damage inside your phone is almost always permanent. Rice can't get to all the water that has managed to get inside your phone. Most likely, you need a new phone now.

  • Why port forwarding on port 80? I have a foscam home security camera and it needs port forwarding on port 80 if I want to use my iphone to view it from outside. Surely enough, it works as soon as I open that port. But isn't port 80 open by default? Else how could I view http websites in the first place. I don't get it. It's already open so why open it again?
  • What is different of the new iPhone 5 charging port? Since the iPhone 5 has a new charging port that is smaller than the original, is the charging port the same as the Andriod charging port? Or is it completely different? I have an Andriod phone and I was wondering if I was able to get the iPhone 5, will I be able to use my Andriod chargers for the iPhone 5? What is different about the iPhone 5 charging port?
