My iPhone 3G, works perfectly fine, but the light is dim as hell?
OK, so I dropped my iPhone inside the toilet. When I got it out and dried it with a napkin it was fine, the touch was good, the light was good, everything was fine. I turned it off, and about two hours later the light went dim. It's like almost black. I don't know what to do? Let me remind you that it's old, and it's kinda loose, and it has a few cracks here and there.
Usually your phone will come back to life after being dropped in water. The light is going dim because there's still water on the inside that is messing with the electronics. The backlight being the most susceptible.
You need to completely dry out your phone. The best way to do this is shut it down completely. Get a large bowl full of uncooked white rice. Bury the phone in the rice, cover it and let it sit for 24 hours. The rice will absorb all the water in the air, including the water inside you phone. After the 24 hours power up your phone and make sure it is working.
If you live in an area with high humidity it may take longer too. Some people in this situation have put the bowl of rice inside their oven (with the door left open) and set the oven to the lowest setting.
Make sure it is completely dry inside and out before turning it on or you could damage it by using it.
- Why are my SMS messages taking years to send? But iMessages are perfectly fine? So IIm texting my friend with iMessage ( we both have iPhones ) and I just started texting someone who doesn't have an iPhone and when I try to send them a message it ll take so long and it ll even say message failed it bugs like what the heck sprint.
- Need an advice! My iphone got wet but still works fine? I spilled my water bottle on my backpack about 2 hours. I just noticed it when I opened my backpack and I saw my iphone 4s got wet, it wasn't submerged it's just wet. It still works fine, quickly I turned it off and haven't yet checked anything because I was shocked. Now that I got home I put it on a bag of rice. What to do after this? How long should I put this? I'm afraid if I turn it on before the phone completely dries it will get a problem.
- My iphone screen just broke but it still works fine. What should i do? My iphone 4s just fell like 2 ft onto concrete and the glass on the front is now shattered but it still recognises all my finger movements, can i just replace the glass or is it stuffed? Also will apple cover this
