What happened is that when I was on my way home, it started raining. By the time I got home, I checked my iPhone and I can see that it's wet.
I quickly used a clean cloth to wipe it but I noticed some water got into the speaker and mic. I sucked the water out using my mouth but it's more difficult to for the mic.what's bad is that I forgot to turn it off.
I checked if there are damages and I found out that the mic is not recording any sound. I kept using the voice memo to record but when I play what I recorded, I can only hear very faint static noise at loud speaker at max volume.
Later, my friend called me and when I answered it I was surprised that he can hear what I was saying. I quickly ended the call and I used the voice memo but the results are the same, same faint static noise.
The next day, I tried to use the voice memo again but my phone slipped from my hand and feel to our wooden floor while recording, I played what it recorded and amazingly, it recorded a very faint thud similar to what I heard when it fell to the floor. Just to make sure I started recording again and I repeatedly hit it against our floor with a unique pattern just to be sure and when I played what it recorded, I can hear the pattern I was doing but the sound is very faint.
My problem is that I don't have the tools and knowledge on how to fix my iPhone. There are even no Apple Technicians available for me to inquire here.
My questions are:
-Will the mic ever work?
-When will it work again?
-What can I do to for it to be fixed?
-What are the possible problems that caused the mic to malfunction?
