Water Damaged

[bayerngk]

Usual question about a water damaged iPhone 4. My phone sat overnight in a mug of water. The water was about 3/4 of an inch deep and the headphone side was the side that was submerged. It was about 4 or so hours. I did and have been doing the rice thing for a week now. The first times I tried to turn it on (24 hours later and then 48 hours after that) it did not do anything.

I then decided to put the bag of rice on top my dryer for a few loads of laundry, using the vibrations to shake some of the water (if there was any left) loose to be absorbed by the rice. 24 hours after doing that I plugged it in and it made it all the way to the home screen before getting the spinning battery dying indicator and it then died on the charge. I have kept doing the dryer thing and checking it every 24 hours and the Apple icon always comes up and the spinning icon always comes up before it gets to the home screen.

Does anyone have any idea what any of this might mean? I figured the water couldn't have gotten to far or done too much damage to anything except the top part since it was only about 3/4 inches submerged, but obviously that's not the case. And I am also wondering why it wouldn't turn on at all on days 2-4 but now it will but won't go any further than the Apple screen.

Any help or thoughts are much appreciated.

Maybe it was in a cup of water for 4 hours because of a drunken night out. I once woke up with a kebab stuck to my face! I think if it is true, that this phone has gone to iPhone heaven though.

Just curious why did you leave your phone in a mug of water overnight?

Pretty sure its well and truly stuffed!

Drunken night out is the correct answer. The whole thing was not submerged, it was just the headphone side, about 3/4 of an inch deep. I never said I was shocked it didn't work, far from it. I just was wondering, since it has responded somewhat positively that someone might have a theory on what it was doing.

Thanks for the help though, I think.

You never know what it might do. Give it a little more time, keep it in the rice and see what happens. That's all you can do. Good luck!
