My iphone 4 is dead with water damage. Is there a way to recover data from the dead phone.

My iphone 4 is dead with water damage. Is there a way to recover data from the dead phone. Could any one help where exectly the memory chip (not RAM) resides in the phone. Is it on the motherboard or a seperate component in the phone?

The iPhone's internal components are soldered together. There is no way to recover data from your phone if it refuses to power up.

I am looking at a MacBook pro 17 early 2011 with water damage that doesn't turn on. Now t would have a voided warranty wondered if anyone knew how much apple would charge to fix. If its worth fixing?

It mostly depends on the damage that was done (the LCD, keyboard, etc) but yours does not turn on so I am assuming it was fully submerged and completely damaged. Therefore, I would think your warranty is most definitely void.
When did this happen? How bad was it? Have you taken any measures to get it to dry? You can go online and you can find tips on how to dry it at least a bit so that it is not as bad, it might not get it to work, but it can help you prevent rusting, which would cause further damage thus reducing the probability of getting repaired/replaced. Also, do not try to turn it on unless you have tried to dry it as it will damage it even more (electricity + water = destruction). I would suggest giving this a try, and if it is still not working then it is probably worth a try with Apple, just go in for a consultation in terms of pricing. If they seem too high and/or the warranty is void, then you can opt for after-market products which significantly reduce the repair costs... as you would have nothing to lose anyway in terms of warranty.
It's $3,000, that pays my rent. Even investing $1,000 would be better than just not giving it a try at all lol.

Is there any way to save an iphone with water damage?

Is there any way to save an iphone 5 with water damage? I know older phones you could some times use rice to dry it out.

1, Place in ziplock bag with dry raw white rice for a week.
2, When that doesn't work take to Apple and purchase out of warranty replacement.
3, If you have already turned on the power the damage is done so just proceed to step 2.

I bought a brand new mac after Apple said I had ruined my MBP with water damage- but now it works fine?

I'm a little bit confused here. I bought the latest Macbook Pro before university late September 2011, and unfortunately had a little accident involving a leaky bottle of juice.
I dried it out as much as I could, and took it to my nearest Apple store two days later, where, to my dismay the guys at the Genius bar said it was broken beyond a reasonably priced repair. I was faced with an estimated £800+ bill, or the option to buy a new one.
As I was going back to Uni for my last term, I needed a computer of some kind and hastily bought the new one. Instead of having it repaired, I stretched an extra £100 on the repair bill and bought the Macbook Air.
The guy who served me thought it was a good idea for me to buy a new one (obviously) and kept reminding me that even if I do get it repaired, the 'corrosion' could spread and it might need repairing again.
The problem throughout all of this is after spending ANOTHER £1000 only a few months after buying the first macbook, I am typing on the so called 'water damaged' macbook right now.
They told me it was completely busted, but apart from cosmetic water marks on the screen I am failing to see what's wrong with it.
Have I been ripped off? Can I sell the water damaged MBP?
I hope someone can help me!

As far as selling it, I don't know what you would get for it. I know in my opinion if I was going to buy it and it worked, if it didn't look really bad, I MIGHT buy it, but that would really mean taking a look at it and seeing what is in store and what kind of condition it is in at the moment. The thing with liquid, it does weird stuff when mixed with electronics. I once had a portable gaming system that I spilled some pop on. It didn't work right away because everything was still wet and liquid and electronics don't mix well. However, after letting it dry off, it worked great. Only problem I had with it at that point were the buttons started to stick. And when they stuck, they would cause me to screw up my games sometimes becuase when I would go to push the buttons, they wouldn't go down right away and would be delayed and with games, that is the problem. When you needed the button pressed now it wouldn't go right away. This is not necessarily a problem with the computer say if you were typing or anything, but the point being, it may not show serious signs right now, but that doesn't mean that later it isn't going to. However, as stated above, you might be able to get something for it as there are other parts worth value. Maybe not the full computer, but pieces to part out if someone else were to find one that needed parts because there were parts of theirs that went bad and needed replaced. I think if you were to fully disclose what happened and let them know that there could be something still going on with it that may cause a problem down the line, you might find someone who wants to try out a mac before making that purchase of $1000 to buy a new one. I would try to sell it, worst thing that happens is you don't sell it because nobody wants it, but if that is the case you are no different then you are now.

Can I get pictures off of an iPhone 5 with water damage?

So my wife recently dropped her iPhone 5 in the toilet... And I believe she tried to power it on after she got it out and dried it off, which I know is a big no no. So I tried the bag of rice trick. That didn't seem to do too much. When I plug it in to my MacBook Pro, iTunes will recognize it, and say that it is in recovery mode, and that it needs to be restored in order to continue. I said **** with it and tried to restore, but I get error message 2001. I know I can get at least a little money for it from places like Gazelle, etc. even if it is water damaged, and I have already ordered the 5s with an upgrade we had on our plan, so I'm not too concerned about having it repaired; although if I could restore it, I could get a little more money. So I have 2 questions.
1. Is there anyway I can get the pictures off of the iPhone without paying $230 to have it repaired.
2. What does error message 2001 mean? And is there anyway to restore it at this point?

I the device will not power on without going into recovery mode then the pictures would not be restorable even with a repair.
Try Resetting the device ( Power button + home butto till you see the apple).
Error 2001: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694?viewlocale=en_US will help with this if at all possible. However if you restore the pictures will be erased.
Your best bet is to look in iTunes for a backup ( Edit>preference>devices you will see all the device backups on the computer here) or in the iCloud once you sign into her Apple id on the new device.

Can an ipad with water damage be repaired?

Can an ipad that has suffered water damage be repaired? Everything seemstomwork except the wifi antenna and the sound.

UPDATE: I emailed MyiBroke not even an hour ago and have already received a response
"Jay, Thanks for pointing that out. I will make sure that the spelling errors are corrected in the morning. We really appreciate you taking the time to show us a kindness! Have a Merry Christmas
Hayden"
Chris, we are all human and capable of making mistakes. I would much rather help resolve a problem vs attempting to drive business away from a company who is offering a much needed service. For me to get an email response with in an hour of contacting a company on the east coast who is not likely open at 2am is more than impressive in my book. When is the last time you emailed a business in the middle of the night and they responded that fast?
WARNING - Do not do business with a company that doesnt provide amazing customer service - BE AWARE!
lol @ Chris - End rant

What to do with water damaged MacBook Pro?

I've had my MacBook Pro 13" since late last year and since then have spilt soda on it 2 times. The first time it didn't seem to be damaged at all by it but the second time the macbook turned off and I left it for a while before trying to turn it on again. It started up but I needed to use internet recovery to be able to get into it after. I've been using the mac and it works fine but the trackpad will not work, the backlit keyboard is faded in some keys and whenever I turn the macbook off and try turning it on again it flashes a file with a question mark and will only start up properly after a few times of trying. I have recently brought it to the apple store and they said that they won't fix it even if I have warranty because it is water damaged but I can pay $800 to get it fixed although it still may not work after fixing it. I was wondering if I could sell the macbook somewhere and just buy a new mac? but how much would a water damaged mac be worth? does anyone have any solutions?

Until you plan on keeping it completely away from all liquids, I'd suggest simply continuing to use it for as long as it lasts.
Once you commit to protecting a new one, consider yourself lucky that it works at all and make a complete backup of what's on your internal drive while you still can so you can transfer that to whatever the replacement is (using Setup Assistant). And for not much more than what you'd pay to get it fixed, you could get a refurbished MBP from Apple which would have a warranty.

As Klaus1 says, a dead Mac isn't worth anything. But if you did get it fixed with the understanding that it might not work at all or for very long, how would you feel if someone else sold that to you.

Will computer turn on with water damage batteries

i have macbook air that i spilled gatorade on.i took it apart cleaned every part with alcahol.now the when i plug it up to charger,the green light comes on then changes to orange and it will not turn on.i charged it all nite,but the orange light is still on.my question is should it come on even though the batteries have water damage when it is pluged into the wall.one of the batteries in the bat pack has pink water damage indicator.

Dont EVEN try to do that, youll only cause MORE damage.
And the salty gatorade is likely the WORST thing you could spill on it.
Make a service call with Apple ASAP for repair / diagnostics
There are many many liquid indicators in the Air, not just one. The new Air has 12 as I recall, the older 9.
Im sorry to hear you tried to charge it.
If you turn it on, A will lead to B and then to C, Starting out with 1 to 2 things damaged to multiple damage. Dont turn it on

Help on water damaged iphone and erasing data?

My iphone has water damage so the screen does not work, however It does have power and I was able to download camera roll. Is there a way to erase all data remotely if you cannot use the screen? Since I have to ship the phone back.
iPhone 4S

I never did set up" find my iphone". I never even turned on back up icloud! I was clueless about the phone. So if the syncing with itunes as "restore as a new phone" will work I will do this since I never did this either! thanks
icloud tip: To use remote wipe, you need to have set up Find My iPhone on the device before you lost it.

Can my iPad with water damage be repaired?

My iPad sustained mild water damage and will not power on. Can it be repaired or is it permanently fried?

Apple does not repair iDevices other than replace batteries. this would be an out-of-warranty replacement, cost depending on your warranty/AppleCare+ coverage.
If it has been water damaged and will not turn on, there is probably one or more short circuit involved that will mean little likelihood of repair. You can take it to an Apple store genius bar and have the techs test it and pass final judgement.

Can I transfer all my files, pictures and music from the computer with water damage to the new one?

A couple weeks ago water spilled on my computer and I took it in with no luck so I'm buying a new one. I wanted to know if there was any way to get all my stuff from the damaged computer to the new one. It breaks my heart to think of all my pictures being lost or my schoolwork gone.

This handy gadget:

is much cheaper than most reliable HD enclousres and will allow you to attach the bare drive to recover the data to the new Mac via USB.

Help! water damage on my iphone!

My two year old cousin threw my iphone into our swimming pool today, and it doesn't seem to be working the flash won't go off and it's very hot. What do I do? Help!

HOLD THE SLEEP/WAKE BUTTON UNTIL IT IS OFF.
Throw it in a plastic bag full of rice to try and absorb any water and leave it that way for at least a week. DO NOT turn it on. Keep it off. Do not turn it on.
At this point, it's probably toast, but it will definately be dead if you turn it on with even a tiny bit of water in it.
Apple doesn't fix wet iPhones. You'll have to buy a replacement if it's dead.

Help for Water Damaged PB?

Someone (probably a small child) spilled some water on the counter behind a 2003 PB G4. It had been sleeping. I noticed that it was off, picked it up and saw a small puddle of water under the rear grill. It could have been standing in the water for 12 hours.
I immediately removed the battery and used a hair dryer (on cool). I stood it on its back so the remaining water would drain. I let it set for about a day. I then tried to turn it on.
It made the familiar hard drive click, and the caps lock key lit green. Observed closely, the start up screen was being displayed. But there was no starting chime, and the display would not light. More ominously, a faint electrical smell wafted out, as if after a thunder storm.
My guess (fear) is that the power to the display and speakers shorted, and it is probably uneconomic to have it repaired. But I am encouraged by others' success stories in similar straits. So, any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks

I once repaired a clients iBook after some sort of weight watchers shake leaked into their backpack and totally drenched it. They turned it on and could only get random flashing of the caps lock...nothing else. Figuring we had little to lose at that point, I completely stripped the machine down, removed the logic board and blasted it out with a can of compressed air. The mega shake junk was everywhere but somehow managed to avoid the hard disk, CD drive and screen. Liquid was under a number of chips on the logic board and had to be thorougly blasted with air. Holding that board covered in dried brown gunk, I remember thinking there is no way this is going to work...but after getting it back together 2 hours later, the thing fired up just fine. I believe it is still going after a couple of years.
I'm not suggesting you try this yourself or that your book isn't already too far gone (the burning smell can't be good). But after seeing where liquid can get trapped inside, I'm pretty sure you'd have to open the thing up for it to have fighting chance at drying out. Good luck!

IPhone5 with water damage won't charge

The other day I dropped my phone in the ocean, but was able to put it into a bag of rice and let it sit for 24 hours afterwards. It works fine now except for it won't charge. Yesterday I let it die and then plugged it in overnight. The next afternoon when I turned it on it was fully charged. I was hoping that that was the trick, but the next time I tried it wouldn't work. It isn't recognizing being plugged into a wall or my computer. It's a Japanese iPhone if that makes any difference... I've tried cleaning out the USB port on the phone, but that hasn't made any difference.
Anyone have any tips? I'd really like to avoid getting it sent in to be fixed since I only have a month left in Japan. Thank you!

If your iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad is Broken
Apple does not fix iDevices. Instead, they exchange yours for a refurbished or new replacement depending upon the age of your device and refurbished inventories. On rare occasions when there are no longer refurbished units for your older model, they may replace it with the next newer model.
ATTN: Beginning July 2013 Apple Stores are now equipped to do screen repairs/replacements in-house on iPhone 5 and 5C. In some cases while you wait. According to Apple this is the beginning of equipping Apple Stores with the resources needed to do most repairs for iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches that would not require major replacements. Later in the year the services may be extended as Apple Stores become equipped and staffed with the proper repair expertise. So, if you need a screen repaired or a broken screen replaced or have your stuck Home button fixed, call your local Apple Store to see if they are now doing these in-house.
You may take your device to an Apple retailer for help or you may call Customer Service and arrange to send your device to Apple:
Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.
To contact product and tech support: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers.
You will find respective repair costs in the appropriate link:
