I swam with my iPhone 5s underwater saltwater
So the other day I decided to go swimming in Hawaii and I went in the salt water and after like 45 seconds I realized that my iPhone 5s was in my pocket, so I ran out of the water wrapped a towel around it my brother started to suck the water out of it and sucked A LOT out and an hour later we put it in rice like every one told me to do, so now it's still in the rice but I read that salt water will ruin your phone and a bunch of stuff so iphone still in rice… Got any ideas what to do? Or any information about this salt water business?
Jon is right, it's bricked
Try to find and independent "cell phone repair" place, call them and ask if they can help you. They may be able to at least clean out the interior circuitry and possibly wash the salt water residue from it. It is worth a phone call or visit to see…
On Google type: "Cell Phone Repair" and then the name of the city you are in/near.
Example in Google: "Cell phone repair indianapolis"
Yeah just get a new phone
I would expect that to be ruined, salt ruins everything… Water is bad enough, but salt… Yikes.
- Will my iphone work after I swam with it in water? I was going swimming and 5 minutes into it I realized my iPhone 5s was in my pocket. It was already turned off. I dried it off and shook it a little bit to get water out, and a half hour later, after buying some rice, I put it fully emerged into a bowl of rice. I did research and 5 hours later put serran wrap on it to keep the rice fresh? My question is, how long should I wait to turn it on, and do you think it will work.
- Why does the iPhone 4 lifeproof case only go up to 6.6 feet underwater? I'm going to buy one of these case but I'm just curious to what happens if you go further than 6.6 feet?
- Why can't I take an underwater picture with my iPhone 4s? I bought the life proof case and it says you can't take underwater pictures, but when i touch the screen it does't do anything. I have to be above water if I want to open the lock screen It will not let me touch the screen under water. Why? I bought it yesterday along with the phone and have taken it in the water twice.
- What underwater iPhone case should I get so I can take pictures underwater? I have an iPhone 5c and I would like to take it underwater to take pictures this summer in a pool. Any cases out there that I can get made for this?
