I need to get photos off a water damaged iPhone 3GS. Can I take out the component that has the photos (is this the main board?) and put it into another of the same phone to retrieve the photos? Please help

I need to get photos off a water damaged iPhone 3GS. It spent time underwater, saltwater. I let it dry for a week, turned it on, the apple symbol came on, then it died. I need to retrieve my photos off it. Can I take out the component that has the photos (is this the main board?) and put it into another of the same phone to retrieve the photos? Please help

You're talking about the logic board. The two most likely things to get toasted, with water damage, are the battery(it shorts out), & the logic board. The worst water damage would be salt water. I'm afraid your logic board is toast.

    Thanks Jakob. You are correct.
    I just finished another "experiment".
    I transcode the whole clip 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 to another ext Western Digital HDD and got the Error -50 too. Problem is this ext Western Digital HDD is Daisy chained to the LaCIe.
    So, I tried transcoding to another ext Western Digital HDD connected to my router. And this time NO PROBLEM.
    So, I should readjust the FW800 connectors.
    What do you mean by the controller of the Firewire ?
    Thanks

    All I'm saying is, the error -50 from the Finder normally means there is something spooky going on.
    Here, the LaCie drives become unstable. In the few cases where I'v actually opened the cage and put the HDD into another mount, the HDD seems to be fine, so I suspect it's either the FW connectors of the controller itself.
    If the drive is under warranty, replace it, otherwise, move your data to another drive if it startes to do so frequently.
    Here, the drive will 'behave' normally for some time after a reboot of the OS, but it's a pain to reboot every X hours...

    Please don't shout!   Using all uppercase means shouting on the internet.  If your keyboard is stuck please say so, otherwise people will think you are being obnoxious.
    Now the first question is, when you are saying connecting to personal hotspot, have you always been using the iPhone to connect to the internet?   Are you someplace where the only place to connect is available via tethering to the iPhone's celluar network?  Or do you have other options?

  • If I'm already paying 149.99 to replace my water damaged Iphone 4 can I pay the Iphone 4s replacement price and get that instead? If No explain why please . Thank you

    I have a water damaged Iphone 4 I have had for only 8 months. Today I went to the apple store to see how much a replacement was and the girl told me 149.99 for my iphone. What I was wondering is can i pay the replacment cost of an Iphone 4s and get that instead . I dont see the problem since my phone is broken anyways . But I would like to hearf if any one has tried the same thing.
    Thanks

    The only exception would be if there were no like models available.  There was a short period when there were not sufficient supplies of the 3gs to effect warranty replacements.  In that case, they replaced the 3GS with a 4 at no additional charge.  But the warranty fine print specifies that they will repair or replace the device, at their discresion.

    Try a reset:
    Hold the home and power buttons at the same time until the Apple boot logo appears. No data will be lost.

  • HT1386 Hi there, i have an ipod that has locked up due to children playing onit and putting a password that they can't remember. itunes won't sync with it as it does not recognise the ipod. Does anyone know how i can unlock this ipod? cheers.

    Hi, i have an ipod touch that has been locked out. Children were playing with it and now have forgotten the password. I have red screen that says to connect to itunes. itunes won't open because the message comes up saying the ipod is locked with a password. Also, this is not the computer that this ipod was last synced with. Can someone help me open this please. Cheers.

    Place the iPod in Recovery mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes.

  • Water Damage iPhone 3Gs

    My iPhone 3Gs is damage by Water. Curruntly its not work b'coz its totally damage.. So how to recover iPhone and how to repair it? i try to repair that but its not work..So, any idea for  start ? ? ?

    Had you not tried to repair it, you would have been eligibile for an out of warranty replacement for 199.00 USD or the equivalent in your country. 
    Sounds like you need to purchase a new phone.

  • Bridge CC is asking my to 'purge cache'. When I do this doesn't work and freezes my mac. Bridge is unable to work at all. Please help?

    When I start up Bridge CC I get a error message instructing me to purge cache in preferences which I do but it doesn't work and freezes my mac. I cannot curretnly use Bridge CC. PLease help as this is costing me time and money - thank you in advance....

    Hold down the Option key as you launch Bridge, keep it down until you see a dialog box, then click all three options in the re-set box that comes up.
    If you don't see that re-set box, you're doing it wrong, i.e., you're not holding the Option key down fast enough.

  • Water damaged iphone 3gs

    Last week I had my iphone with me while I was on a canoe trip. An hour into the trip, one of my friends flipped over the canoe and then my iphone got soaked. I followed everybody's advice and put it in a baggie of rice for a couple of days. Afterwards, I took it out and I opened it so that I can see if there was more damage. I saw some tarnish so I used a needle to scrape it off. ever since then the screen doesn't work but I can still call people thanks to the voice control but the LCD doesn't turn on. What's weird is that when the phone is completely dead, the screen will light up when I charge it. Any advice?

    I had my iPhone in my pocket when I slipped and feel in a small waterfall. I was told about the rice, which I used about 2 hours later. First took out the sim card and dried it. Left it in the rice about 4 hours. The screen then lit up but no response. Then I plugged it in to dry up the humidity I saw on the screen. Another 4 hours. Then using the car air conditioner, I let the cool air continue to dry it. Stayed the same. Left it alone for a week while on vacation, then turned it on. To my surprise, turn on and everything worked as seamless as before it got wet. So I believe a combination of these things worked.

  • Hi guys. Water damaged Iphone 3GS, works great, can charge on the wall plug and the usb cable on the PC, but neither the computer nor Itunes can detect it. Also I can pass and receive phone calls, but I can't hear anything. What are my options?

    I did try DFU, restarts, try other computers, etc. But nothing. Should i buy a new battery?
    P.S: I'm sorry for my english ^^

    Obvously your phone does not "work great" . It is damaged. Your option is to buy a new phone or get an out of warranty exchange at an Apple store.

    Hello,
    I have created a simple sample, you could focus on the button click event and edit it to fit your requirements by yourself.
    Public Class Form1
    Private Sub Form1_Load(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
    With ListView1
    .View = View.Details
    With .Columns
    .Add("IDNumber")
    .Add("PersonName")
    .Add("PersonAge")
    End With
    With .Items
    For index = 20 To 33
    .Add("ID" & index, index - 19)
    With ListView1.Items(.Count - 1).SubItems
    .Add("Name" & index)
    .Add(index)
    End With
    Next
    End With
    End With
    With ListView2
    .View = View.Details
    With .Columns
    .Add("IDNumber")
    .Add("PersonName")
    .Add("PersonAge")
    End With
    With .Items
    For index = 21 To 22
    .Add("ID" & index, index - 19)
    With ListView2.Items(.Count - 1).SubItems
    .Add("Name" & index)

  • Is it possible to get my iTunes money out of one account and put it into another account?

    So I bought a Macbook Pro recently and a lady, who was working at the Apple Store, was putting in a Back to School giftcard for $100 in my account but I forgot the answers to my security questions. Since the lady already have put that money in that account, I was wondering if I make a new account and take the money out of my old account and I can put it my new account. Will it be possible or not? Please answer my question
