My Iphone gets submerged in water?
Hey guys…
Well it happened like this. I went down from my hotel in Bali to the beach with my iphone 4 in my pocket. Then i swam into the water with my phone in my pocket and played with my sister going out and in the water (that sounded weird) but no matter, it lasted for like 15 minutes.
After that i finally found out that my phone had been in the sea water for that whole time!
I panicked and tried to turn it off…(found out it was a bad move) and then I ran to the hotel's kitchen asking for rice (got that idea from my sister) i put in a plastic bag since i had to return back to my home country right after the beach adventure…
when i got back home the next day, i placed my phone in a electronic drybox and left it there for 5 days until today. Today i recently tried to turn it on by charging it… It didn't turn on after 30 seconds,
i decided to put it in a bowl of rice+place it in the electronic drybox… Like just now…
I'm worried sick…
Please help…
will i ever see my phone come back to life again?
Please Help ANY OF YOU! Its five days since the submerged iphone incident…
Be more careful with the replacement.
Because you turned it on when it was still wet inside you have probably fried the circuit board. But if you're lucky you haven't. You should be fine to turn it on now it has been dried out for 5 days. Turning it on now won't do any further damage and you can then find out if your phone is broke or not.
Be more careful with the replacement.
- What to do if iPhone gets submerged in pool? Ok, so my iPhone 5s was in the Lifeproof case and I took it swimming with me. The charging port came open and some water got in and water probably got in the phone. The water has chlorine in it and I heard when the phone dries, it leaves residue behind and you should treat it in a pure grain alcohol bath. I only have 70% Isopropyl alcohol. Will this work?
- What do I do if my iPhone gets water damaged? I dropped my iPhone in a toilet and tried to turn it on a couple of times. I later read on the internet that you shouldn't do that so I put it in a bag of rice. I left it in for a couple of days and then tried to turn it on again. It didn't work so I kept it in a little bit longer. I tried it again after 3 days and nothing. I tried charging it and it still didn't work. What should I do! If I go to the apple store what are my options for a new phone?
- My iphone was fully submerged in a pool for several minutes? I'm trying the rice method which I have read about with mixed results, but I assume it is going to be a complete loss. I have read something about an out of warranty replacement. It is a 4s and bought less than a year ago. Does anyone have experience with this?
- My iphone 5 got fully submerged in water So I was swimming with my friend in our lake and my iPhone 5 was in my pocket. And I jumped in. We swam for about 5 minutes. When we came back. Well, you know the rest. Now, I let it dry and plugged it in. Came on, no water damage on screen. Looked fine. But shut off shortly after. Is this recoverable? If so, how?
