Iphone 5 was in the washing machine. Put it in rice and?

I left it over night in rice, then hooked it up a little while ago. It turns on and works. To a certain extent. If i touch some parts of a screen it won't work. If i leave it in rice for a couple days, do you think it'll draw all the moisture out and hopefully help out with the screen? I know there will be some quirks with thr phone, but i'm hoping i can at least text. Thanks!

Added (1). btw, i was able to send one text out. Then when i went to try again, it wouldnt let me click certain parts of the board. I'm wondering if once i picked it up, the moisture went down there?

Be more careful with the replacement.

You should leave the phone in rice for a few more days. Maybe it works.

It just depends if damage was done. Rice won't undo damage.

  • My iphone 5s went on a washing machine and it turns on and the screen too but the touch dosent work? I tried putting it in rice and drying it with a hair drier or blow drier everything works except the touch and the screen has a white strap going down and you can see the water or water stains any suggestions
  • My iphone 5 was in the washing machine It was in the pocket of a pair of sweatpants for about 5 minutes by the time i realized i had left it in there the water had just started to run. My phone was wet but there didn't seem to be too much damage. The music still played fine and i could hear people on calls. But then i noticed a screen discoloration in the bottom left corner! Is this bad? Do i need to go to the Apple Genius Bar or to the Verizon store? I'm soaking it in rice now and it is still in warranty.

  • IPhone dongle went through washing machine? I accidentally left the dongle (lightning to aux adapter) in the pocket of a jacket that went through the washing machine. The cord s completely dry, so is there any harm in trying to plug it into the iPhone and an aux cord to see if it still works?
