Water damaged iPhone 5C
Two nights ago (around 46 hours ago) I dropped my phone into a water filled sink for only a few seconds. I quickly grabbed it out and wiped off all the external water. The touch stopped working for a second and the image was wavy. I turned it off and blew out any water I could from the charger ports etc.
I left it out for a night but when I returned to it, it was not turning on. I then decided to put it in rice and it has been in there for around 26 hours and is still in the rice.
Right after I switched it off and was getting the water out with my breath, I looked online, where people had mentioned the water damage indicator in the headphone jack. I looked in with a torch and it was not white, but the same dark colour as usual. (I thought maybe this would be useful)
Anyway I was wondering if the rice doesn't work if I could go to Apple and get a refurbished one, or get it fixed. I don't know how the warranty works.
Helpful info:
- I got it last Christmas, around 5 months ago
- The indicator does not appear to be white
- Last time checked (around 26 hours ago) there was droplets in the camera lens
Your best bet of drying the thing Keep it in the rice, sometimes devices just need sometime. Hope it works out ok. Sometimes the device it already too far gone. It sounds like you put it in right away… You shoul be good.
- 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?
- Water damaged IPhone 4s. Is there hope? Today I idiotically fell into a pool with my iPhone in my pocket. It was submerged for about three seconds and afterward there was no display but it would still vibrate at messages and calls. I shook the water out of it immediately but I couldn't get it in rice for about 20 mins. I took out thr sim card and managed to turn off my phone and I'll let it sit in the rice for 24-48 hours. Is this just a lost cause or is there actually hope in me reviving my "child"
