My IPhone was dropped in water?

Today, i tried to check the time on my phone, and the screen sort of flitted and then turned off again.confused, i tried again, this time the flicker had a super low light. After i while it just didn't do anything at all. So later my friend confessed he dropped it in a sink, and it was fully submerged for about a second. Should i still try the rice method?

Yes, the rice method is worth a shot, but if you can remove the battery from the phone, do that, then put both the phone and the battery in the rice.

The rice method doesn't work at all… I've found that if you put some peanut butter on the holes water can get in easily it helps suck the moisture in the phone.

Yes, but once it was turned on, rice will probably not work.water and electronics do not mix well.

  • 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 - 3 I just dropped my phone in water about a minute ago(it's 9:25 PST). I hurried up and got it out dried it off as fast as I could. It was working fine until now. It keeps popping up "charging not supported on this device" and also I just found out the sound isn't working! Now I can't even listen to all the money I spent on my songs. Is there anything to help this? I was thinking I can back it up on iTunes? Would that help? I don't know I just need major help please.
  • I dropped my iphone in water and it won't turn on? I dropped my iphone in the toilet about 3 hours ago and right after i picked it up from the water, i put it in rice. The phone turned off by itself and about a few minutes ago i went to check and my phone was hot. So i'm wondering if i should keep it in the rice or do something else?
  • I dropped my iphone in water a few months ago? I dropped my iphone in the toilet a few months ago i let it sit in rice for like a day maybe more. But i need it fixed. Is there anyway i can?
