Water damaged IPhone 5s! Been in rice 24hours?

It looked much better after being in the rice but now I'm noticing moisture behind the screen. It's like it's creeping in slowly. Is there anything I can do to prevent this getting worse until I can afford to get it fixed?

Better rush to the service center!

  • Will the dry rice method still work for an iphone if it has been switched on? I dropped my phone in water and immediately took it out, dried it and turned it on to see if it worked. The phone worked but there was no sound so i googled what to do and i found the dry rice method but it said that you shouldn't turn on your phone but i did (maybe for ten mins?) so i turned it off and put it in a bag full of rice. Will the sound go back to normal because i turned on my phone? Should i put in the bag of rice with the back removed and battery exposed then?
  • Water damaged iPhone and no rice? My iPhone went through a washing machine. It's been a couple of days and because I'm a college kid, I don't exactly keep dry rice in my dorm. I stuck it in easy mac, wrapped it in a coffee filter, and two paper towels. Does anyone know if this will work? When I plugged it into the computer like 5 minutes ago it turned on, but the touch was messed up and I couldn't unlock it or anything. The little guy's fighting for his life.
  • My iphone 5 has been water damaged how do I fix it? I dropped my phone in some water 2 nights ago, so as suggested by everyone I placed it in the box of rice. However I was in a state of panic and tried to switch the phone on. It is now stuck on a solid red screen and won't turn off. How do I fix this? I would also rather not have to take it apart in order to fix it
  • My iPhone 4s got wet, and it has been in rice for 2 days now, It won't turn on? Like I said it has been in rice for 2 days now, the lock button was broken before it got wet, so it won't turn on, even if it is plugged in the charger. What do I do? How can I get it to work again?
