Iphone 5 got water damage. How to deal with it?
My IP5 forgotten in washing machine for 3 mins and I took it out. Then I power off it and put in uncooked rice for 5, 6 days. But I think the moisture still be there because the screen looks not good. It faded and striped. I bought it 6 months ago via a friend, so I'm not sure that I can come to Apple Store and do something? By the way, if you have any experience about liquid damage and successfully repaired it, please share for me. Anyone lives in Garland, also, show me some good store that can fix it up.
Thanks for your help!
Added (1). Will Apple Store accept my phone for replacing or else? I didn't buy it in store, sign contract or anything. Just buy from a friend>"<(unlocked ver)
A phone might survive exposure to clean water if it wasn't turned on (or asleep) when the water hit, provided that it is given days to dry before being turned on again. If the water was dirty or soapy, the damage is probably permanent. A damaged phone will have to be replaced, as too many parts are damaged to make repair practical.
Water can destory electronics. Let it dry 2-3 days and hope it isn't damaged, if you turned it on then it may be to later. Otherwise you have to take it to an apple store.

- My iphone got water damage and won't turn on? I dropped my iphone 4s in the toilet earlier and it was probably in the water for 3 seconds at the most. I took my case off and dried it the best i could and shook it to get some of the water out. It was in rice for about 8 hours and I charged it for a little, and the screen won't even turn on, but the flashlight won't turn off.
- My iPhone 4S has got water damage. It no longer powers on throught the USB cable. What do I do? The phone get stuck in an apple logo loop when connected via USB cable. However when it is connected to the speaker dock it powers on. I have lost cellular, Wi-Fi and bluetooth and really need to get my pictures off it. How can I get the phone to power on via USB cable? I need those pics!
- My iPhone 4 suffered heavy water damage, will it be okay? I went in the pool with it not realizing it was in my pocket. I was in the pool for about 5-10 minutes before I realized it was in my pocket. It was on when I went in the pool but was off when I got out. I now have it sitting in a bowl of rice and I plan on leaving it in there for a week, changing the rice it's in every 24 hours. Does anyone have any insight on this, like if there's any hope of it being okay or is it done for?
