Dropped my iphone 4 in water. Do it have internal damage or not?
I dropped my iphone 4 in the kitchen sink yesterday, yes I know stupid. I dried it with a tea towel and it seemed to be fine. The phone worked perfectly fine until this morning when I took it out my pocket to check something. When I switched the on/off button at the top, the screen gradually turned from black to white. Whenever I turn it on now, it does the same, but it isn't completely white as there are black dots on the screen. I feared the phone was ruined but after investigating I've discovered that the vibrate, sound and touch screen still work you just can't see what you're doing. You have to guess. As well as that, the phone still receives calls and messages as I can hear from the sound alerts. What I want to know is are some of the internal components ruined or is it just the screen which can be replaced?
Does it work? If so then in doesn't.
Yes it's inside. Moisture is inside the phone playing stupid with circuits, the board, and eventually the battery. Unchecked it will corrode or fry circuits.
Get busy, you've got a lot of work to do if you are going to save it. See the links. Best luck.
Seal your phone covered on all sides with rice in an air tight bag. Leave it alone for 2 days. If you are lucky you will pull any moisture out. I dropped a HTC One M7 in the toilet and Sprint told me to do that and it works just like the day I got it.
- 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?
- IPhone 5c internal damage Stupid me didn't get a case for my iPhone 5c and of course I've dropped it a couple times. For the past couple of weeks now my phone will randomly start typing by itself, won't let me open up different apps, and won't let me type anything! It's driving me insane. I'm constantly restarting my phone. Now, I was wondering if anyone knows if apple will fix this? Considering it was my fault. If they won't, is there anywhere I can take it to be fixed?
- I dropped my Iphone in water - no water damage showing on indicator? Here is the situation. I dropped my Iphone 5 in the toilet (I hadn't peed yet so all good there). Immediately switched it off, dried it and put it in a bag of rice. This was at about 6 p.m yesterday. This morning without turning it on I opened up the sim compartment to check the circle for water damage (checked online and apparently this is where to check for water damage). The indicator was white. It is back in the rice but I was wondering - when you think it will be ok to turn back on?
