Spilled water on iPhone - any chance of it repairing?
My iPhone 3g got some water on it today when my water bottle leaked inside my bag (I didn't realize for a long time). I blow dried it a bit, and it got better temporarily. But now it's just dead; it won't turn on or do anything. I was at school when this happened, and was only able to put it in rice about an hour ago (when I got home).So basically, it was not put in rice until about 5 hours.
I'm going to leave it in the rice, then check on it tomorrow morning.
I'm just wondering what are the chances it will work again? It was working (more or less) earlier - it was very erratic, but it was capable of being on and the buttons worked. What are your experiences with a water damaged iPhone? Is there any hope, or will it most likely need to be replaced?
Thank you.

If you are a kid just go to the apple place and ask for a new one if you have a warranty.
Once the water has been in for a while, putting it in rice won't do any good. At this point you need to take the front cover off and then put it in rice. Most things can be repaired if you know what you are doing. It is also possible to have it repaired fairly cheaply.

- Spilled water on my iPhone 4s the other day. Now doesn't work? So, the other day i was watching a movie in my house and I knocked over my class of water. There was only ice in it but still it got all over the table. I thought i cleaned it all up but by the end of the movie when I was cleaning up i realized an ice cube must have landed on my phone and melted. So i dried it out and everything but now 2 days later after the battery fully died last night this morning it won't turn on.

- Is there any in repairing your iphone a 3rd time? So I've smashed my phone 3 times now, twice to the point it was unresponsive which is what happened the other night. I've had it repaired when its been like that before and it seemed to work fine in general. However was wondering if there's been so much damage now there's no point in wasting £60 to repair the screen?
