IPhone 5 (Possible) Water Damage?

So a little water went onto my phone. It wasn't submerged or anything, but I think a little went into the ear piece because I couldn't hear sounds if I were to play videos and when I call, I can't hear the person unless they are on speaker phone.

I don't have uncooked rice or anything like that and I'm not about to open my phone. But I checked the sim port and it seems to be fine.

I'm running out of options and would like some help.

My phone's off, btw.

Leave it off for a few days. By doing that, you'll give it time for it to dry and you won't further damage anything else by having it on.

The exact same problem happened to me a while ago xD i took an appointment with apple and they tried to fix the microphone, then they gave me a replacement phone and none of my stuff was erased. They did it cuz it was under warranty though

Give to Repair as I had the same experience with my IPhone 4s and I gave it to repair and they changed the set

  • Possible water damage on iPhone 5s? Ok so I went hiking and I didn't have pockets, so I put my phone on my side between my shorts and skin. The hike was difficult so I ended up sweating and I totally forgot my phone was on my side instead of my backpack. As gross and stupid as it may sound, I think my phone has possible water damage from my sweat. However, the screen is still responsive and fine yet the home button does not work when I press it. However the fingerprint scan still works. Will putting it in rice help?
  • Possible to fix side damage on iPhone? I once put my phone on my jacket on the basketball court, then when picked up the jacket my phone flew and landed on the concrete, bouncing several times. When I picked it up the screen was gone and the camera and everything else worked fine. But there was a huge chipped part on the top of my phone, right next to the power button. There was a huge crack on it. Is it possible to fix it at all?
  • Possible iPhone water damage? I knocked a can of Dr Pepper onto my iPhone and it mainly went onto my screen however some of the liquid might have somehow got into my charging hole or earphone jack. It's being about 5 minutes and my phone is fine, however should i take any precautions like putting it in rice just incase? Or because it's fine should I leave it?
  • Possible iphone 5s water damage? Alright so i put my phone (speaker/outlet thing down) into a cupholder today and there was water in the bottom of it and now my phone turns off and won't turn back on any time i hit the sleep/lock button. Does this sound like water damage? If it does, do you know how i can fix it/dry it out? If it doesn't, do you know what might be wrong with it?
