What are the chances of my iphone working after water damage?
Last year i jumped into the pool with my iphone 4s in my pocket got out about 30 seconds after i realized it was in my pocket and turned it off, left it in rice for 48 hours, never turned back on. Yesterday i was trying to take an underwater video of my little sister who just learned to swim so i put my lifeproof (waterproof) case on my iphone 5s, but having not used it in awhile didn't realize that it wasn't going to work. After about a minute in the pool i realized something was worng when it started saying "this charging accessory is not compatible with your iphone nor something of that nature. It was probably in the pool for a total of about 2 minutes before i tried to turn it off, but as the screen was too wet to slide the bar i hard powered it off my holding the top and home buttons simultaneously until it shut off. I shook out as mush water as i could, but seeing how much longer it was it was in contact with the water than my 4s a year ago i fear it might be done for good, but maybe the 5s has better water resistance. Regardless i've got it in a sealed container of rice and am going to leave it there for at least 36 hours before attempting a charge and boot. Any thoughts on survival chances?
50/50 but you've done all the right things so I give you a better shot than most. Best luck.
About 60% working and 40% not working. I actually dropped mine in a pool and had to jump in and get it. I put it in rice and let it sit for a day and a half and then it worked fine. So try the rice thing and if it doesn't work then you are screwed.
- Will my iPhone still work after water damage? It fell into a bucket of water last night and I can't turn the phone off because the screen is black. I can hear the phone ringing and vibrating, but can't see anything. I put it in a bowl of rice, is this fixable? Will the screen eventually work?
- Is tbere any major différence between thé iPhone 6 and the 6s? Whooppeee is Xmas again and my daughter wants new 2nd hand) iPhone… 2 years ago almost bought her 5 before i réaliséd that it was 5s she wanted ( cos thé 5 sucks?) And I don't want to screw up this year…
- 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?
