Broken (water damaged) iPhone 4?
2 weeks ago, I dropped my iPhone 4 in the toilet. I quickly grabbed it without hesitation and when I tried turning it off, the screen went off but the camera flash was still on. I tried pressing the power button as long as I can to turn it off completely but it didn't work. I tried taking out the battery. Since the back of my iPhone was slightly open (don't know how it broke), only the upper part though. I tried reaching for the battery inside. I could lift the battery but I couldn't take it off or out. So I tried unscrewing the lower part of my iPhone, so I could finally open the back part of it. But I couldn't find any screw driver that fits. So I gave up on repairing it. After all of that, the camera flash was still on. So I just left it like that until the battery runs out. Then when it was finally dead or no battery charge, I tried charging it for a sec then camera flash turned on again. Then I really gave up on fixing it. Then just 1 week later, I started searching on the internet about how to fix it at home and finally had some knowledge on how to fix a water damaged iPhone. I know now that I should've just let the excess water out the iPhone and put into an uncooked rice and so on. So I just tried it 2 days ago, and now I'm on the stage of just charging it again and see if it's finally fixed. My question is, if the solution I just did doesn't work, can I bring it to an apple store and have a new one for free? If so, are there any requirements? Do they replace white iPhones? Will they know if my iPhone was jail broken? If they did, will they do anything?
What the heck makes you think they would give you a new phone because you are negligent and can't take care of your phone? Thats not their job.
- 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"

- My iphone is water damaged, and the incident happened about a month or two ago? So if i were to try to fix it right now by blow drying it and by putting it in rice for a few hours, would there be a chance that it would work?
