How to fix a water damaged iphone 4?

I dropped my iphone 4 in water in april. I put it in a bowl of rice for about three months & last week I took it out & plugged it in & It worked for about a day. It won't charge or turn on now. Is there anything I can do to fix this?

Your meant to be it in a sealed bag and fill it with rice and leave it overnight

I would say, put the phone in the airing cupboard for 24 hours, if that doesn't do it, then your phone is toast, if the 30 pin connector (the long thin one on the bottom) looks at all corroded or damaged then the phone will fail to function

Exactly like my PSP, DEAD!
Get a S4, my friend accidentally dropped it in a bucket and nothing happened.

Just take it to always ready apple costumer care or an authorized trustable workshop?! Good care!

  • My iphone speaker will not work after i water damaged it, is there any fix? I accidently spilled orange juice on my iphone and i thought it was fine as it operated after i wiped it off. I noticed later that i could not hear the other person during a phone call. Are there any fixes to this or do i have to buy another phone out right?
  • My iphone 5 has been water damaged how do I fix it? I dropped my phone in some water 2 nights ago, so as suggested by everyone I placed it in the box of rice. However I was in a state of panic and tried to switch the phone on. It is now stuck on a solid red screen and won't turn off. How do I fix this? I would also rather not have to take it apart in order to fix it
  • Is it possible to fix a water damaged iPhone? So I dropped my iPhone 4S in the toilet and now it won't turn on. I was wondering, will I able to get it fixed and still be able to keep my photos and text messages?

  • Hhomework to fix my water damaged iphone? SO 4 months ago, i dropped my iphone into the sink and didn't really decide to fix it because i didn't have the time. I just bought iPhone 5. Now i want to restore it so i could give it to my son. ITs been 4 months now and i have not turned it on since (it doesn't turn on either). Will the rice method still work?
