My iPhone 3GS got wet inside after my water bottle leaked on to it?

I've tried putting my phone into a bag off rice for just over a day and the phone still will not turn on. When I press the "on" button at the top, the apple logo does come on however when you look down at it you can see white and pink/bluish marks and just turns itself off again. It keeps repeating. Will i have to get a new iPhone, have to take it into apple or is there another way to resurrect it.

There's no shortcut to restoring it. The best method is to fix it, but do not tell them it got soaked unless you still have a valid warranty and do not want to pay for fixing your phone.

You could try putting it into an airing cupboard but since it's already been in rice for a day I doubt it will work

The first thing to do when you get your mobile wet is take out the battery so you don't short circuit anything. Then try drying it with a hair dryer but don't put the battery back in until its its dry. Even then it may not work

  • Will my iPhone work? It got some water inside? My iPhone got a bit of water inside and it's turning itself on and off all the time. It wasn't that much water though, The battery is quite low and I'm using it as alarm clock… Worrying now that I shouldn't charge it and I won't wake up in the morning withought it. Will it be OK if I wait a couple of hours and then try to charge it or will it damage it even more?
