Can I sell an iPhone that has been through the washing machine?

I have a 16 month old iPhone 5S that went through the washing machine. Screen busted and now it doesn't work. I was wondering if it was still sellable. Meaning, is there anyone out there that would buy such a phone and be able to use the parts?
I'm not trying to dupe anyone, I'm going to be up front about the condition, but I wasn't sure if any part of the phone still had value in it's current state.
Thanks for any help.

Yes, you can sell it as "for parts or not working" (that's what eBay would have you list it as). But you'd probably only get $10-$20 for it. Also, although it's not working, do as much of this as you can: What to do before selling or giving away your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support.

  • Desperate to recover photos from an iPhone5 that has been through the washing machine

    My iPhone5 has gone through the washing machine and I am desperate to recover my photos. Am I better off leaving it in rice for a week and trying it, or immediately taking it to my service provider to try and get it repaired?

    Thanks for your responses. It wasn’t in a waterproof case, just a rubber one. I have insurance, so I am not concerned about my handset, just the photos. It is currently sitting in a container of rice, and I was thinking about taking it apart and putting it back in the rice opened up to try and better dry it out? Then I was thinking of leaving it for a few days and eventually connecting it to my Mac to power it up and hopefully quickly access my photos - what do you think? I am just concerned if I take it straight to my service provider before at least trying this, the data is as good as gone - going off all of the insurance claim disclaimers regarding loss of data during repair!
    Thanks in advance!

    how can i unlock an iPhone that has ben locked in iCloud

    You won't be able to remove the existing iCloud account, restore or erase it without know the password.  If you ever update it or restore it you will not be able to activate it again and use it without knowing the correct ID and password.

  • HTC Touch 2 has been in the washing machine

    Hi
    I unfortunately put my HTC touch 2 through the washing machine . It is not insured and I still have 8 mths contract to run with bt. Is there any thing I can do?
    Would be really grateful for advice.

    Dropping in a puddle and a wash cycle and spin at 60 degrees are a bit far apart here.
    Are you sure your house contents doesnt cover devices with a £x excess.
    I did read the other day in The Times of someone whose i phone went into the WC, and she perservered in drying it out, leaving it overnight in a bowl of uncooked rice to absorb all the moisture, but this is as bad as it can get I think.
    I'm afraid unless by some miracle, and with respect, I think it would be a miracle it works after it has dried out, you'll have to take the hit and write this one off to experience I'm afraid.

    You can't. You can take a screen cap of it, but the container doesn't allow access to the individual images used in a SWF or FLV.

  • My iPod 5th gen touch went through the washing machine. It still works but it has water in the screen and I can't get it out. I put it in uncooked rice for a day but it didn't work. And suggestions??

    Leave it in the rice for at least a day and change the rice every other day or so. The rice and iPod should be in a sealed container.
    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $149. They do not fix yours.

  • Is there any hope for a Nano 6th gen that went through the washing machine?

    Is there any hope for a Nano 6th Gen that went through the washing machine?  All of the devices contents are showing up in iTunes when connected but the device itself is not working.

    Hello kpratta,
    There is some hope. I have heard of someone putting the ipod in a bag of dry rice and putting the bag in a dark place for a 4-5 days. After that they used this:
    www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/
    This has the best chance. The rice absorbs any liquid in the ipod.
    Hope this helps.

  • My iPod went through the washing machine.  Can it be saved?  What should I do?

    My iPod went through the washing machine.  Can it be saved? What should I do?

    When electronics get emersed in liquid, it's not the actual water that causes them to break (although if you spilled something like coke with a bunch of sugar, the sugar would stay in the device even after the liquid of the coke dissolved). What breaks the device is if either it was on when it was emersed in water, or if you turn it on before all the water can evaporate. If so, the water will conduct the electricity between the wires and short circuit the device. If you weren't thick enough to try and turn your device on immediately after you took it out of the washing machine, then it should be fine if you just let the water evaporate. Another technique (to make the water evaporate faster and, on rare occassions, to save a device if you've turned if on while there was still water in it) is to put the device in rice and let it sit overnight. Hope this helps.

  • How can i delete a toolbar that has been added?

    Somehow I have a toolbar for a shop at home site that has been added to my list of toolbars. It takes over my browser when I'm surfing and takes me to places i have not selected. How can i delete this toolbar? I believe I have the latest version of firefox and i am running windows 7

    This sounds like spamware you might have installed by accident. If you go into Add-Ons (Firefox -> Add-Ons) it should be under 'Extensions'. Click the 'Remove' button and that should get rid of it.
    You might also find it under 'Programs and Features' in Control Panel. Remove it if it's there.

  • Adobe 9: Can a PDF be modified that has been digitally signed?

    Is it possible to insert or remove pages from a PDF (in Adobe 9) after another user has already placed a digital signature in it? (This isn't a certified digital signature.) It appears that Adobe 9 does not allow a user to make modifications to a pdf that has been digitally signed while earlier versions did.

    Steve,
    To answer your question, yes, we do need that capability.
    Here is a synopsis of what we want to achieve:  after signatures take place, to replace specific documents with revised pages containing digital signatures.
    We have a temporary workaround in that we can print the PDF with digital signatures to another PDF; however, we lose the green checkmarks in the digital signatures when we do this.
