IPhone speaker not working after water damage
So, while having a bath about a week ago, my phone decided to do a suicide dive off the side of the tub and into the water, it was only under water for maybe ten seconds and it did have one of the Kate Spade cases on. I instantly dried it and went and got some rice. I tried turning it off but it would turn itself back on. I left it in rice overnight and then tried the Q-tip trick the next day. Everything is fine. Except for my speaker. I can get calls just fine, I sometimes get text sounds. But I can't play music or listen to YouTube videos. I have tried every possible trick out there, I need some new ideas! So if anyone had ANYTHING that will fix it please let me know!
Try opening it up and leaving it open to dry! If you are lucky it will be the type with ordinary screws and you just need a tiny "normal" screwdriver to take out two screws which release the back. Otherwise, if it has special screws, you'll need a purpose-built screwdriver. You can get these in a set on eBay.
If you had the phone on the side of the tub then you deserve to have it ruined, thats just stupid.
Let it air dry for 4-5 days without turning it on, you are lucky if only the speaker is not working after water damage.
- Water damage to iPhone 5s speaker? I spilt milk on my apron at work today while my iPhone was in the pocket. Now the speaker doesn't work properly and I only got the phone yesterday. It sounds very distorted and is much quieter.
- My iphone speaker will not work after i water damaged it, is there any fix? I accidently spilled orange juice on my iphone and i thought it was fine as it operated after i wiped it off. I noticed later that i could not hear the other person during a phone call. Are there any fixes to this or do i have to buy another phone out right?
- Iphone water indicators not pink, still possible water damage? Hypothetically, if you got your iphone 4s wet, but the water indicators are not triggered at all, is it still possible the phone has water damage on the inside that apple would find if they took it apart?
- IPhone 4s working again after water damage? My phone was fully submerged in water when I found it in my purse a couple days ago. It has been sitting in rice since then, so I took it out and plugged it in and it was working perfectly fine for about ten minutes, but then it told me the temperature was too hot. Any advice? Has this happened to anyone before?
