WATER DAMAGE iPHONE, file a claim?
On 12/04/12 I dropped my phone in the toilet, and it is completely broken, trust me. I didn't know that if you try to turn it on after, that it would short circuit, so I messed up pretty badly. Now, I have cell phone insurance through asurion cell phone insurance, and they want a 169$ deductible for a replacement… How do I lie to them and say that it was a phone malfunction and not water damage?
You won't be able to. Most phones have a strip in the battery compartment that turns red when they get wet.
Also it was your fault it broke in the first place so you wouldn't be able to file a claim.
You will just have to work with your cell phone insurance company and see what they can do for you.
Still they'll catch you. The idevices have several (i think) water sensors inside them that turn red when water comes into contact.
- Water damaged iphone (insurance claim)? I filed a claim with Asurion through verizon, I was required to pay 169$ for a replacement phone. the problem is that troubles me is that the only problem with the phone is that after it dropped in the water, the screen has a drip mark that won't go away, it won't turn off and there are some tones that don't play.other than that it works fine. what I'm asking is if the claim is still legitamate. It's still noticeable damage, but is it claim worthy noticeable damage?
- USPS lost my package from eBay and the seller refunded me, should I still file a missing package claim? I had ordered the iPhone 7 for my birthday last week and I never received my package. I went through a whole ordeal with USPS (who was no help at all). Eventually the eBay seller was happy to issue me a full refund but I'm wondering if it's worth my time to file a missing package claim.
- Iphone water indicators not pink, still possible water damage? Hypothetically, if you got your iphone 4s wet, but the water indicators are not triggered at all, is it still possible the phone has water damage on the inside that apple would find if they took it apart?
- 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?
