My iPhone got wet and won't work?
My phone was next to my drink yesterday and the drink spilt a bit, the screen is completely dark but the actual phone still works, I tried putting it under a hair dryer and also tried putting it in rice for 24 hours, is there any other way I can make it work again? I really need the help thanks x
The hair dryer destroys the phone with the liquid inside it simply covers more things with water and corrodes them and could only possibly work if the device was completely disassembled and the rice doesn't work unless used immediately and even then the device houses water for days which further corrodes the circuitry it would be a long shot to attempt to repair the phone after you improperly treated the device after exposure to water and even if entirely dry salts and minerals cause further damage to the circuits and can cause shorts the only possibility now would be a supersonic cleansing in specialized purified non corrosive liquid to remove the minerals from the microscopic imperfections of the board and components and even then the corrosion will have set in and destroyed the phone anyways the best thing to do when any electronic device is exposed to liquid is to disassemble entirely and immediately, clean thoroughly with the purest alcohol you can find, then allow to dry for a few days before even attempting to apply power to the device and if it was on when the water was spilled on it it is surely destroyed and should have been immediately powered down and have the battery removed before the shorts entirely fried it's components
You likely damaged the phone with the hair dryer. Your probably going to have to get a new one now. The rice takes several days to work…
