About fixing a water damaged iphone 3?

I have a iphone 3G and i dropped it in the toilet and wss wondering if it would be fixable because i've tried to put it in charge to see if it works and it comes up with the apple icon straight away but will go away and come back if i've put it on charge.

Hi

I recently had an experience like this. My Mom's mobile phone had dropped in a bucket of water. When we tried the rice method, it was like a miracle; the phone was fully working!

The cheapest and most effective way would be put it into a container with some dry rice. I would suggest you leave it for 4-5 hours.
This way the rice will soak up all the water and the phone will be back to normal.

  • Methods for fixing an iPhone five after water damage? Recently I put my phone in water with my lifeproof case, and the case didn't work in water like advertised and now my phone has water damage. It's been in rice for a few days and improvements have shown. At first my phone was completely unresponsive but now it turns on and there's lines. It's been in rice a few days after it began to turn on and nothing else has changed. Is there anything I could do to fix this?
