How to fix an iPhone 5 dropped into a pool?
I dropped my iPhone 5 into a pool about 4 hours ago and I'm trying to figure out how to fix it. The screen lights up and the apple sign pops up but then it just stops doing what it normally does and it has a spot that's messed up and a black ish screen that has rows of squares and rectangles on the top and bottom of the screen.
Woah. 4 hours might be too late for this but put it in a bag of rice and leave it overnight. Check if your audio jack is messed up too! Go to a Cell Phone Repair Shop and have it fixed, if your iPhone is less than 90 days and you have warranty on your phone then go get it fixed or replaced at the Apple Store!
No! You are not supposed to turn it on you turn it off and put it in rice if you put it in rice it has to be wet
Its toast, the rice trick doesn't work on idevices.
also apple doesn't cover water damage.
sell it for parts and buy a new one
Now drop it into a casserole full of oil.
- My iphone 4s dropped in the pool what should I do? My iphone dropped in the pool 2 nights ago and I immediately put it in rice… It has been in rice for a little over 24 hrs but is still not working, what should I do?
- My Iphone 4 fell in a pool but not just a normal pool? It fell off my pocket and stayed at the bottom of the pool which was filled with sea water for 10 minutes, is there even 1% chance of it beeing fixed?
- IPhone 4 was dropped in my pool? I got it out and didn't think to turn it off. I had music playing and it stopped. I dried it off and it's been in a bowl of rice since 5. My back camera has water droplets inside the camera (it looks foggy) and my flash won't shut off. My phone was on 75% when I dropped it. It's been 5 and a half hours. Shouldn't the battery have died already? Will my phone ever work again? And how long should I keep my phone in the rice?
- I Dropped my iphone 4S in the pool? I dropped my iphone in the pool for about 2 seconds only about a foot down. I had an otter box on it and quickly took of the case and dried it off. It worked fine til about 30mins ago the home button stopped working and I can no longer charge it. I just the phone 3 weeks ago and was wondering how much it would cost for a new one or the warranty would cover it. I have Verizon if that matters. I'm just really sad that my new phone is ruined.
