I dropped my iPhone 5s in the sink and my touch screen doesn't work?

Okay, here s what happened:
I was taking care of some dishes when my phone fell into the sink, in a mix of water and green soap. I dried it off very fast with toilet paper and then I sucked the water out of the charging hole with my mouth. At first, nothing seemed to be bothered but there was a red dot shining at the top (the LCI) and the sound didn't work. I turned it off for a second and then switched it back on. Suddenly the touch didn't fully work and I couldn t use any of the apps. I couldn t turn it off again as the screen wasn't functioning.

I got home from work and after like an hour I could turn it off. When I turned it on again, I could use the apps for like half a minute before the touch started messing with me. Now I can't turn it off, I can't use the touch screen, the Touch ID doesn't work and it's all a mess! I can still charge it (although IIm sceptical whether that s a good idea) and the sound works.

As IIm a writer, all my work is on an app called "SuperSafe Box" and is not linked to my iCloud. I really, Really need to access this work and I don't know any other way than getting my touch to work.

Take it and power it off and soak it in rice for a night or two. That worked for me.

Were you using the phone as a sponge. Its so weird how that happened… Put it in rice… Duh… So that the water drains down.

  • Just dropped my iphone 4 in the sink? I got it out very quickly but it turned it self off. I've not tried to turn it back on yet, i've just put it in a bag of rice and put it on the radiator. Has anyone had the same problem? And do you have any suggestions please?
