Hot chocolate spilt over my iphone 5. What do I do?

I accidently spilt hot chocolate all over my iphone 5. I dried it off and it was fine.
The next day I woke up and it has a massive stain under the screen and only one speaker works. I put it in rice for a day and a half, and it is still there. I really don't want to go get it professionally fixed because it is too much money. What do I do? I've only had it for one month.

Take it apart yourself (YouTube it) and dry it out THROUGHLY

Well, you don't really have any other choice. You damaged the hardware, and will require hardware part changes, not just simple home remedy fixes.

  • Spilt ice cream in my iPhone? I was eating an ice cream cone and it dropped into the ear piece of my iPhone. Now when I try to call someone I can barely hear them through the ear piece even when the volume is turned up all the way. I don't know what I should do? I've already dropped my iPhone in water and everything and it still works I put it in rice. But any suggestions or should I just go try to get it fixed?
