My water damaged iPhone won't stay connected to my computer?
In the past, I dropped my iPhone 4 into a bowl of water. Depressing. This was about a month ago so recovery is impossible. It actually connects to a computer, though, but it lasts for about ten seconds and the screen says it is too hot. I'm trying to connect it to back it up and I know it will work if I can get it to connect stably… Any idea how? Thanks!
Added (1). Please do not answer to tell me I have no idea what I'm doing. I understand this is far fetched but I'm asking if anyone has found an easy solution. I know I will probably have to go to an Apple Store but the closest one to me is about two hours away so please be nice to me, I'm just trying my best to find an easier solution!
You need to take it an apple store, a messageboard isn't going to fix it for you. If your contract is up, then I would upgrade to a newer version by trading it in. They now take trade-ins and you can get a new contract, so it may be just like getting a cheap upgrade. Thats better then putting money into fixing an older version.
You broke it when it was dunked. It will not heal itself. If it is overheating, complete failure is just a matter of time.
There's no simple solution for liquid damage. It's broken inside, nothing you or anyone else can do short of replacement will help.
- Why won't my Wi-Fi stay connected on my iPhone? Everyone in my house has an iPhone. My phone is the only phone that constantly disconnects from the Wi-Fi every 10-15 minutes. I tried resetting the network and everything.
- Why won't my iPhone 6 stay connected to the wi-fi? When it says its connected it works fine. But it connects then disconnects then connects then disconnects. Auto connect is on. It doesn't do this all the time. Doesn't do it with any other devices I have. Just the iPhone.
- Why won't my iPhone 5s connect/stay connected to my Wi-Fi? I have reset phone back to factory settings. I have reset network settings. It connects briefly then disconnects and says it can't join network. It's recently started telling me I have an incorrect password (I'm typing it correctly) Both my laptop and tv are having no problems connecting. Hopefully someone can help me out. I won't be able to go into Verizon until the weekend. And if it's something I can fix on my own, I would rather do so.
- Why won't my iPhone 4S stay connected to Wi-Fi? Every time I'm connected to Wi-Fi and then lock my screen the Wi-Fi isn't connected anymore. So then I have to go to setting and reconnect every time. How can I stay connected to Wi-Fi even when I lock my screen.
