Dropped iphone 5 in toilet? Still works a little bit but what should i do?

I have had it in rice for 2 days.could i put it in the oven for two miutes wrapped in a tea towel? Haha or how do i take the back off to dry it out fully?

Submerge it in a bowl of rice

Your iphome became a golden's iphone: D

Try the rice trick
let me know if it works… Out of curiosity… How did you drop it in the toilet?

Do not try using your handphone as this may short circuit it. I see that you have the iPhone in rice for 2 days and that still hasn't fixed it? It may be permanent damage. However, why don't you try going to a computer store and buying silicon packets. Just leave your iPhone in the rice in the meantime while you go and buy the silicon packets. The silicon packets are much more absorbent compared to rice so it will work better.

If after leaving your phone in the silicon packets for 2 days doesn't fix the iPhone, you may have to dismantle your iPhone and leave it out to dry. Sadly, your iPhone may be permanently damaged already. Just try your luck and do what I suggested.

  • What should I do to make sure my iPhone 4s still works after it fell in the toilet? My iPhone fell in the toilet yesterday and I put it in a bowl of rice for 24 hours. I took it out and charged it and it worked. I want to make sure that it won't glitch and die, so should I keep it in a bowl of rice while charging it for a day? I also noticed that when I was charging it at first, it started heating up… Should I be concerned?
  • What is the difference between 32 bit and 64 bit in the iPhone 5S? I was wondering what is 64 bit and why does it matter on an iPhone? What makes it different than the iPhone 5 or any other smartphone right now, and should we really care?
  • My iphone got dropped in the toilet.it works but has some problems Okay, so I dropped my iphone in the toilet biaccident like a week or 2 ago. It has been sitting in rice for awhile and I took it out, it happened to work but now when I turn it on, I hit the button to turn the screen on so I can use it, and it automatically turns black. I hear the music playing but the screen keeps shutting off on me! How can I fix my phone? Could I put it in the freezer for awhile?
  • My iPhone 5s got wet but it still working. But the touch screen is a bit slow. Is it safe to use? I dropped my phone in water but pulled it out immediately. I powered it down, dried it off, and let it sit for 30 or so minutes. At first the screen was red but then turned on and everything works. The touch sometimes is unresponsive. Is it safe to use my phone? I'm letting it air dry by a window because rice can cause erosion… Should I use it?
