IPhone 4 got wet, device now barely operating with no display?
I have not backed it up in over a year. I might just purchase a new one at last resort, however I really want to get my contacts and photos from the phone before I do.
Here's a quick rundown of the weird stuff going on.
•It got wet, and I let it dry in rice for a week.
•Opened it up, very little corrosion, scrubbed everything anyway.
•Now I have it plugged into the wall (without a battery).
•I figured my battery is probably fried so I proceeded without it.
•The screen is a dark blue, and it seems to reboot and vibrate every few minutes.
•I think I locked myself out of it by powering it on, sliding the unlock screen as I normally would, and kept tapping on the keypad.
•I will try voice control tomorrow when I'm not locked out of the phone.
•The silence switch DOES cause it to vibrate when it's powered on.
•The home and lock buttons DO work.
•No apple logo, just a very very dim and dark blue screen.
However when plugged into the computer via USB:
•It does NOT respond to iTunes, and I can't explore it.
•It does not periodically reboot when plugged into the computer; it is essentially unresponsive.
•When plugged into the computer, the screen cycles between ~7 seconds of dark blue and ~2 seconds of no light.
Thanks for your time. Again, I mainly want to get the information off of this phone. Everything else is secondary.
Not backing it up is a mistake on your part. That info may be gone now. Upgrade and ask if they can copy over to your new phone when you take it in, they might be able to do it.
You can recycle old stuff here and apple will give you store credit for it:

Even if damaged something is better then nothing.
- My iphone got wet in the rain and now my sound is playing really low and muffled? It was raining and I was out and my iPhone was in my pocket, I don't even know how it got wet or it could of been a puddle that splashed but now when I play music, phone rings or text alert its very quiet and muffled and crackly or sometimes I can hardly hear anything at all. I've reset it twice now but nothing has changed I'm just wondering if there's anything I can do to fix this and has anyone had this problem before want to avoid paying a lot in the shop best I can
- My iPhone 4s got wet in a storm. The camera now won't work I have tried to reset and restore. I've tried closing the app, restarting my phone. Everything else works. It's just the camera that doesn't work. After my phone got wet I put it in rice for 24 hours (although for most of the time my phone was on!) Can someone please help me? I bought my phone second hand on gumtree so I couldn't get it insured and I'm not apple with help as the phone is not register to my name! In snap chat my front camera works!
- IPhone 4s got wet and now it won't charge? About a month ago my I fell in a lake with my iphone in my pocket and it got wet. It still worked and the water damage indicator is still white. The only thing now is it won't charge. It died and I plugged it in and it says that it's charger but then after a while it stops and just shows the connect to power symbol. It won't turn on. I really can't afford a new iPhone. How can I fix this? Now it's completely dead and won't show anything at all.
- IPhone 4S display vs HTC One X display: which one is better? According to Apple and other sources, at 300 pixels per inch, the human eye can't distinguish between individual pixels, and with 326ppi, the Retina Display is comfortably over that 300ppi limit. But the HTC One X is 312ppi, also above the 300ppi limit, so does that technically make it a "Retina" display? (The One X also has a 1280x720 res while iPhone 4S has 960x640)
