Iphone 4 not working, fell in water?
I have had a refurbished iphone 4 for 4 months now and it was working perfectly. I made the common idiotic mistake of jumping in the pool with it in my pocket.
So, I asked some friends for advice. It was clearly not going to turn on. I tried the rice in a bag technique as everyone told me this has worked for them in the past. I tried leaving my phone in an air tight bag of rice for 3 days.
It turned back on! It worked. Only problem is I could see a huge wet spot in the middle of the screen and the battery percentage % stayed the at the same number like 29% even when charged for hours. 2 days later the iphone died. I've tried the rice in a bag method again for another 4 days. Now it turns on showing the Apple logo in the middle, but then it goes black again. It repeats this process over and over again but won't fully turn on.
My question: Is this a battery problem? I would like to replace the battery myself and avoid spending $100 at some iphone repair shop. I found a kit on EBay.
