How to repair water damaged Iphone 5? No warranty want to fix by myself?
So, my friend wants to sell me his water damaged Iphone 5 for $50 and I think that I can buy it and repair it.So, I wanted to know what I need to do/replace to get it working again. Any suggestions?
The rice and phone trick
Go to your local market, buy some rice, put it in a bowl, throw in your phone, leave it in there for a day or so
You can also open the screen and use a hair dryer
Also, those little silicone packets will also work
That all depends upon what parts have failed & need to be replaced.
Hmm. Depends on what is wrong with it specifically. You can't really take out the water damage from a phone, you can only fix the parts that the water damage defected. You can even buy it and sell it online directly to http://www.cashiphone.com/Sell-iPhone-5.aspx because they buy water damaged iphones and all broken phones at a good price. The quote is online so you can check it in an instant. It's a win situation either way!
My advice here relates only to water damage.
Here's what you should do:
1. Fish your iPhone out of the water as quickly as possible.
2. Power it off immediately. Running power through wet electronics can damage them beyond repair.
3. Dry the outside of the handset. Remove the SIM card tray and SIM card and dry them off.
4. If possible, remove the rear glass panel off your iPhone. Apple uses two special 5-point Pentalobe screws to secure the back, but I've managed to remove these little nasties with a small, straight-edged jeweler's screwdriver. Take care not to strip the heads of the screws.
5. Find a Ziploc bag and fill it with either uncooked rice or silica gel, if you have access to it, and dump the handset into the bag and seal it up. Don't try to be clever and use heat to try to speed up the drying process as you're likely to damage the handset.
6. Leave the handset in the bag for a day or two.
7. After a couple of days take out the handset. If you took it apart, then you'll need to reassemble it, and see if it powers on. If it does, you're in luck.

- How to fix a water damaged iPhone 5? So my cousin dropped my iPhone 5 in the toilet (I know).it was in there for like five or six seconds. When he took it out it was fine except the screen would not work. What should we do?
- How much would it cost to fix a water damaged iPhone 4? I dropped it in the bath and it was in there for about 4 seconds. The warranty is void as the sheets inside have turned pink. I tried to rice for 2 days and it isn't working, it isn't coming on at all. All I can do is buy a new one or pay to get it repaired. Hoe much would it cost to get repaired by Apple? Would I be better off going to a phone repair shop? Please use pounds and not dollars.
