Water damage on iPhone? Can it be saved?
I left my iphone in my bathroom near the shower by a window and I discovered that there was water on the inside of the screen, and then the screen didn't respond to my touch for a little bit and then it eventually did. And there was still water on the inside of the screen but i was sort of in a rush to call someone, and it had 3% remaining and i plugged it in a wall charger. It worked fine with the charger for about 15 minutes, and then the screen suddenly turned black and it turned itself off. I panicked and then tried turning it back on again but then it just showed the apple logo and turned itself off and won't come back on again. What damage have I done to my phone? Did I fry the logic board or something? I'm really hoping it could still be revived.
I've since submerged the phone in a bag of rice. But I'm hoping that I didn't completely fry it. I now realize that i act very stupidly and carelessly in dire situations haha.
Sounds like the board was fried, but maybe the rice can help. If it doesn't, then your phone is toast. If you have insurance, or AppleCare still, you can get it replaced.
Its toast.
apple will not fix or replace water damaged iphones.
That happened to me before with my samsung galaxy phone well, i have warranty and receipt so i went to where i bought it i didn't say it fell in water i just said it doesn't work they said oh were very sorry to hear that heres address to fix it.
So at a mobile repair shop it might have costed 60 dollars to fix it.
So i go to warranty place left it there i come back next day its brand new has a new screen they put on it and everything and they didn't charge me a dime.
I didn't tell them it fell it water, just don't mention it to them ANYTHING about water or you dropped it and if you have warranty you can fix it.
Its not cheating cuz if you throw it into a swimming pool being stupid then its your fault but just a little water in it well, don't mention it but they can fix it.
Also try buying a battery charger and charging the battery that happens to my small little samsung phone another tip, buy a samsung phone not apple people have said its toast if its iphone.

had my phone fixed all shiny and new
- Iphone water indicators not pink, still possible water damage? Hypothetically, if you got your iphone 4s wet, but the water indicators are not triggered at all, is it still possible the phone has water damage on the inside that apple would find if they took it apart?
- Iphone submerged in water, logic board has water damage? My phone was under water for 10 sec. Atleast and in my wet pocket for about 2 minutes. Led wouldnt turn off and power / lock button didn't work… Put it in rice and two days later i charge it apple logo pops up then writing pops up above the apple logo. Will the guy taking my phone to clean it out and try to fix it need my passcode? And will my contacts, apps, photos, music, internet history still be on my phone? Like when he fixes it turns and on and stuff?
- I dropped my Iphone in water - no water damage showing on indicator? Here is the situation. I dropped my Iphone 5 in the toilet (I hadn't peed yet so all good there). Immediately switched it off, dried it and put it in a bag of rice. This was at about 6 p.m yesterday. This morning without turning it on I opened up the sim compartment to check the circle for water damage (checked online and apparently this is where to check for water damage). The indicator was white. It is back in the rice but I was wondering - when you think it will be ok to turn back on?
- How long after water damage can an iphone be saved? I have an iphone that was damaged by water 3 months ago. I'm wondering if putting it in rice for a few days could reverse the damage even after all this time.
