How to fix a wet IPhone (For An Apple Genius)?
I dropped my IPhone 4S in the toilet a month ago and i asked a question about it. I was told to put it in a bag of rice and i did. I forgot about it for about a month and when i turned it on, it said it needed to charge. I plugged it in and it had the apple logo when you turn it on. It then turned back into the charging sign and then to the apple logo again. Is there a way i can fix this. If you are a genius at apple. Please let me know if i can fix this.
1. Remove your iPhone from the water or liquid as soon as possible. If it is on, hit the "Sleep/Wake" button on the top of the phone to turn it off. Do not turn your iPhone on. Do not dock it to your computer. Turning it on when wet will do more damage.
2. Wipe and dry the iPhone with a microfiber cloth. An old T-shirt or a very soft towel could work. Do not use any paper product, no matter how soft. You could scratch your iPhone screen with a tiny wood fiber in it.
3. Place your iPhone in a large plastic bag and cover it with uncooked rice or silica gel packets. Seal the bag.
4. Let your iPhone sit in the bag for at least two days. You may need to keep it in the bag for a week. Be patient. The rice or silica gel packets will draw the moisture from your phone--but it takes time. Keep this bag handy. If your iPhone behaves strangely after it starts working again, put it back in the bag.

- Is this a valid reason to make a genius appointment? My iPhone 4S has been fine but some apps crash will they fix it and will it come up in a diagnosis?
