Is my iphone completely broken?
I have an iphone 4 that is already pretty messed up… Its badly cracked on the front and the home button broke. So its pretty damaged but i've never had any problems with it even with all of that but the other night i was washing my face and some water splashed on my phone which it really wasn't even bad and i've accidentally gotten water or other liquids on the front many times before and it was always fine so i wiped it off pretty well but like 15 mins later it just turned off and i when i tried to turn it back on it said to plug it in to a power source so i did and it was plugged in for like 20 mins and got extremely hot! I kinda freaked so i unplugged it. It does this everytime. I put it in a bag or rice for like 24 hrs and it still does this every time. Should i keep it in the rice longer? Or take it in to see if it's just gone
In my experience, water is the fastest way to kill an iPhone, iPod, or any other such device.
I have one sitting on my desk right now that took a bath in Lake Michigan. It exhibits the same symptom as yours and the shop said it was a short in the charging circuitry. It would cost nearly as much to fix it than to buy a new iPhone 5, so that is what we did.
Iphone 4 is free with a 2 year contract, just get a new contract and a new one with it. You can also recycle your old one on the apple site even if broken and they will give you some store credit for it so at least you get something back for it.
- When apple replaces a broken iphone, do you get to keep the old broken one? The back camera on my iPhone 4s broke (just stopped working), so I called Apple and I have an appointment set up to replace the old phone with a brand new one. But, I want to know if when they give me the new phone, will they let me keep the old one? The phone still works fine except for the camera. In fact, it's almost perfect. And obviously I want to sell the old one on ebay to make a boat load.
- K key on my laptop is completely broken? Because of my problem I'm putting this up via my iPhone. But on my laptop keyboard my K button is completely broken. When pressed it does absolutely nothing. I have been getting by with just copying and pasting "k" when I need it but that is getting very annoying. Is there anyway to fix this?!
- My IPhone works completely fine sometimes but a lot of times I can't use it and it's completely unresponsive to my touch? I scheduled an appointment to fix my very cracked screen and I was just wondering if this will fix my problem for sure or is there something else that may be causeing the screen to be unresponsive?
- My iphone is completely broken, but I need pictures off of it? I recently dropped my iPhone 5s on concrete and it shattered. It won't turn on and my computer won't recognize it. I've charged it fully, but still nothing. Right before I dropped it, I had taken some really great pictures from my vacation. I checked my icloud, but my pictures didn't transfer over to it. How can I get my photos? They're really important to me and I don't live anywhere close to an apple store.
