Can water damage take days to show effects?

Long story short, my water bottle leaked and splashed slightly onto my friends MBP. We wiped it off immediatly, flipped it upside down and NO water came out of the keys. Not even a drop. The compter worked perfectly normal for almost two days after that. Then, apparantly it decided to not turn on. It gets stuck at the loading screen each time it is turned on. My friend insists this is from the water damage and wants me to replace it, but could it really take TWO days for water damage to take affect? Thanks!

Absolutely 100% yes is the answer to that
I used to repair laptops, and usually after a very mild spill its almost clockwork between 4day to 10days max MOST will exibit minor to horrible damage.
Contact Apple for full in shop inspection and repair.

Actually the keyboard acts like a one-way valve in liquid spills,....it goes in, but upside down it does NOT come out, this is a fact

    Can water damage be undone to a 2nd generation ipod touch?

    Place the iPod is a seal container with a desiccant like uncooked rice for a week and change the desiccant every day or two. Sometimes it works,  sometimes not.

  • TS4148 Can water damage to an iPhone be fixed?

    My iPhone I think has water damage to it . Can it easily be fixed?

    Not really. If drying out in dry white uncook rice for a week doesn't do it, an exchange at Apple is about the only recourse to water damage. Of course, Apple will charge you for that.

  • Can water damaged ipod nano be fixed

    My ipod was left outside overnight,was damp when found.Not working gut has been on windowsill for 5 days to dry out.Can they be fixed or is all hope lost & i have to buy anew one & download all my music again !!!!!!!!!!!

    Apple will replace the iPod for a flat fee (they do not repair your unit). You can find pricing here:
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/service/prices/
    There are third-party service centers that may offer repair services, but a nano has so few parts inside that it's perhaps unlikely that anyone could repair it for less than Apple's exhange service. But you can contact such a company and ask. Sorry, I can't make any recommendations as to a reliable company, though someone else here may be able to.

  • Black screen with white circle every 5 seconds, after water damage

    my ipod touch (3gen.32gb) had water damage 3 days ago. now as it dried, i connected it to itunes and restored, but it keeps showing black screen with white circle every 3-5 seconds. could this be a software problem or is it all because of water?  i put it in recovery mode, and restored again, but it did not help, is there anything i could do to stop it ? thanks

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • My daughter dropped her ipod touch 4g into water. We bought a new one 3 days ago which she has dropped. The screen has smashed! Can we use the good screen from the water damaged ipod to replace the broken one

    Can anyone help please? My daughter dropped her ipon touch 4g into water which resulted in it being ruined. We bought her a new one three days ago and she has just dropped it and cracked the screen!!!
    Cany anybody tell me, are we able to use the perfect screen from the water damaged ipod to replace the broken one on the new ipod or, would the water damage have ruined the screen too?
    Thanks in advance

    Your very best option would be to take it to an apple store and exchange it for an alike model which can be a refurbished, or new unit. The repair/exchange price is about 99USD.  http://support.apple.com/kb/index?page=servicefaq&viewlocale=en_US&geo=United_St ates&product=ipod&select=REPAIR_PRICING

  • Im syncing my iphone to itunes because i cant unlock the phone due to water damage so that i can take what is on it and put it on a new phone. how can i ensure that everything was taken from the phone and where can i find it in itunes?

    my phone recently suffered water damage so that the screen does not reigster when i slide to unlock. I am sycing the data from the phone onto itunes so i can put it onto a new phone. How can i ensure that i took everything off of the old phone before i restore it and where can i find all of that stuff when i sync with the new phone?

    iTunes will only store a back up of the iPhone and you find this by following the steps below:
    Windows
    Edit>Preferences>Devices
    Mac
    iTunes>Preferences>Devices
    The link below can show you what is stored in an iTunes back up:

  • 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.

  • IPhone 4 water damage - Replacement (how long will it take?)

    If i just completely broke my iphone 4 (won't even turn on) due to water damage I understand that I can get a $199 refurbished replacement.
    I was just wondering if anyone knew how long it would take to get the replacement phone. For example, if I went into the store gave them my old phone, would I be leaving with the replacement phone that day or would they have to send it to me in the mail?
    Thanks in advance.

    If you take the iPhone to an Apple Store, then unless they happen to be out of stock on replacement units, you'll walk out with one.
    Regards.

  • My iphone has water damage and it couldnt take anymore and turned off and wont turn back on. What do i do?

    My iphone 4 has water damage and it has taken its toll and turned itself off and wont turn back on. I have tried everything, restoring, charging, restoring through itunes and taking it in for repair at an independant retailer. I really need my iphone so i was wondering where the best place to repair it is and if i can take it to apple, how much it would cost?

    There is no such thing as an Apple authorized repair facility or technician.  Since Apple replaces iOS devices and does not repair them in-house, they've never offered any iOS device repair training or certification.  Likewise, there is no system of distribution of OEM parts, since there are no authorized repair centers to use them.  Any parts are used, 3rd party recycled or outright stolen/black market.
    So, anywhere you take it other than Apple is a situation of you pay your money and you take your chances (and you have no one to turn to if it fails, other then the person or place that failed to fix it for you).
    Your optimal option would be to take it to Apple, pay the out of warranty repair fee and swap it for a fully factory refurbished unit (which will have a new screen, new battery and a min. 90 day warranty).
    However, if it has been taken apart by someone else already for past private repair attempts, then Apple will not allow an out of warranty replacement.
    The out of warranty replacement fees are available for each country under the iPhone support links, e.g. in the USA - http://support.apple.com/kb/index?page=servicefaq&geo=United_States&product=ipho ne

  • Am I crazy?  The manual shows effect automation that I can't access.

    Humor me. Take a look at the pdf manual on page 363. It shows effect parameters that can be automated, but I can't bring up any on neither track, bus, nor submix. I can add effects, but none have shown the boxes in the automation column that the pdf promises.
    Please tell me that I'm an idiot and I'm missing something obvious. This seems a simple enough task for any basic multi-tracker, especially if it's in the manual. I want to automate the parameters of an eq. I can think of many work arounds, but they are time wasters compared to the direct route.
    Thanks in advance. Also, I searched and found that a previous fellow had expressed dismay at not being able to bypass an effect. That feature should be there, too, but I really just want what's on pg 363.

    Yeah, I was looking for a freeze and a bypass automation. I hope that they show up in a later version - they seem like no brainers to me.
    I gotta say, I used to think all audio programs were alike and I know a lot of them. STP2 is like learning a new language. I like the challenge and some features here are not found in any other program. I'll reserve my final judgement for a few months down the line. My main qualms is the constant crashing. I had to force quit over a dozen times today while doing a 2 minute space battle sequence. I'm pressing on, though, because I bought it and I like the workflow. I'm also hoping this program grows up to upend protools in post houses. I know it's not quite ready, but being a musician, I've grown to love PT alternatives (Cubase, Live, etc).
    Thanks again for your help.

  • 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. 

  • How can I tell if my iPod touch is water damaged?

    How can I tell if my iPod touch 5th generation is water damaged? It will not turn on or charge but I can't tell what is wrong with it.

    Without cracking it open you really can't. This is a long shot, you could try drying it out. Do not attempt to charge or turn on, leave it off. Place it in a sealed bag of uncooked rice for about a week. change the rice every couple of days. After you dry it attempt to turn it on, you my need to charge it first, about 30 minutes. If it works great, if not you may need to reset or attempt to restore. And it may never work again, but for a couple of dollars of rice its worth trying. If you do get it to work the first thing you want to do is make a full backup to your computer. The thing with water damage is you just don't know how long it will continue to work.  If you go to Apple be prepared to spend some money, water damage is not covered with the standard warranty. Good luck, hope this helps. Cheers.

  • TS4062 my iphone 4 has mild water damage and will not sync with cable.I want to sync it over wifi to reload data I deleted during my troubleshooting, but I did not set up for wifi sync before the damage. Is there a way that this can be done now ?

    My iphone 4 has mild water damage. As a result, it will not sync with it's former XP computer with the cable. I deleted the phone's data in the troubleshooting process. I want to get it back by syncing over wifi, but I did not set up this capability before the damage occured.is there another way to initiate this feature ? I can tell that they are connecting in the cloud because an app I just downloaded on the phone is showing up in itunes on the computer.

    You don't need to access your e-mail account, just get into your Apple account and change the e-mail address. If you can't access your Apple account, then you have a bigger issue to contend with.
