Iphone 5 flickering after dropped in water?
So I dropped my iPhone 5 in the toilet for about 2 seconds before I took it out. I immediately dried it out with a towel and submerged it in uncooked rice for 36 hours. On the 36th hour, I turned my phone on and it worked! Yay!
However, I noticed there's a little damage to the screen, but it's just a barely visible line. You can only see it if you tilt your head.
After about a minute of it being on though, my screen started to flicker and the touch screen was pausing. So I decided to turn it off again. As it was shutting down, the screen was flickering to the left side and I started panicking. It finally turned off and now I put it back in the rice.
Please tell me why the screen is flickering and if I can still fix it! I'm in a major panic. I really need help with the please. What can I do?
Must be a short between the seat and the steering wheel,
Try your question in another category, this is for automotive repair. Don't think many would know the answer to your question on this category.
Put it in rice, let sit over night.
The bag of rice thing won't work if the phone is soaked. That is B.S. Forget that.
You are hosed. Try posting in consumer electronics or something else besides auto maintenance.
