How to fix an iphone 4 dropped in the toilet?

It's been 4 months since I dropped it. I got another phone but it doesn't hold a charge well. I tried socking it in rice for about a day an it didn't work.

You have to put it in rice for a full 24 hours.

Put it in a bag of rice and do not open the Ziploc bag for 24 hours. Make sure its barried in the rice

It can be repaired, show it to service center

More than likely, the motherboard is fried… If not corroded by now. I would try cleaning the motherboard in a 90% or better isopropyl bath, and replacing the battery. But I would not hold my breath while waiting for it to turn on. Batteries for iphones cost anywhere between $10-$20USD on ebay.

Is your contract up? If so Iphone 4 is free with a 2 year contract, just do that and get a new one.

Old ones can be recycled here and apple will give you store credit for it: http://www.apple.com/...recycling/
Saves you the trouble of trying to sell it and even if damaged something is better then nothing.

  • I dropped my iphone in the toilet. Is there anything I can do to fix it? Yesterday I dropped my iphone in the toilet and it has been in a bag of rice ever since. I tried to shut it off but it kind of shut off by itself within minutes. It vibrated by itself yesterday and it connected to the bluetooth in my car. I can still make calls using the bluetooth in my car but that's the only thing I can do with it. Is there anything else I can do to fix it? How long should I leave it in the rice?
  • I dropped my IPhone in the toilet, and now my home button doesn't work? 2 days ago I dropped my IPhone 4 in the toilet, and pulled it out right away. I dried it off quickly and it was perfectly fine and nothing was wrong. But then last night, my home button started to not work unless I pressed it 10+ times… I have the accessible touch thing on, but I was wondering if could fix this myself?
