HT1766 My iphone 4 went through the wash.

My iphone 4 went through the wash.  I have an appointment this morning with apple but am suspect I may just be waisting my time.  Is my phone likely toast or do you think they will be able to help it somehow?

They will offer a replacement at some cost to you.  What that cost is, depends on whether you have AppleCare+.
Good job on the bowl of rice tactic.  If it powers on at all, use that opportunity to create a backup.  Do you sync to a portable computer?  Take it with you, so you can perform the backup/restore right there.  Otherwise, you can use an iCloud backup which can take anywhere between two minutes and 12-hours.  Again, that variance depends on what steps you have taken prior to the water damage incident.

  • IPhone went through the washer and is 90% ok

    My Verizon iPhone spent an entire cycle in the washer. It is now completely fine, other than the fact the the HOME button doest not work. All other buttons are fine, it charges fine and the screen is unblemished. What are my options?? I live in a very rural are and do not have easy access to any Apple stores or authorized retailers.

    It will be worth the trip, as it probably won't get better. It will just get worse as other bits corrode on the inside! Even if the trip is a bit long do it.

  • My iPhone went through the wash. It works but the display screen is still black.

    My phone seems to work but the display screen is still black.

    I'm sorry to hear that. If the display isn't working you can take the phone somewhere to see if they can fix the display.
    I would honestly take it to Apple and get it swapped out for a new iPhone. It will cost you money because liquid damage is accidental so it wouldn't be a free switch out they would charge you for an out of warranty price. That is the best way. The only reason they switch out the iPhone is because liquid damage in unpredictable of what it damaged.
    Hope this helps.

  • HT201210 I have an iPhone that went through the wash...

    Can somebody help me with this? My iPhone 4s went through the washing machine (full cycle) and I popped the back off and stuck it in rice for a few days, now it turned on but its just showing that I need to plug it into iTunes. I did that and it was trying to restore it but it wasn't working. I tried multiple times, but nothing. What should I do? I need this phone, badly.

    Out of Warranty replacement for an iPhone 4S is $199 US, adjust
    for your location. There is no magic cure - washing your iPhone
    destroyed it, and it must now be replaced.

    Let it dry out for a week or so.

  • 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.

  • My ipod went through the wash about two years ago and now the wifi is dimed out and wont let me turn it on. :/

    okay so , my ipod is about two years old and went through the washer and dryer. no one has used it for two years because no one ever took the time to fix it, until now when my previous ipod cracked and barley works now. So i took it upon my time to fix this washed ipod and i have been able to successfully restore it and , backup, and restore backup. i have also reset the network settings, and still my wifi is dimmed out and wont let me switch it on, i have read the apple websites resolution to this problem and i have tried it and they do not seem to work as my wifi is still DIMMED out. I would like to switch over to this one because my cracked one is hard to use, but in order for me to use this one it would be very nice to have wifi so i could download apps, and when i restored and reset the ipod to act like a new one, it wont even let me sign in to my apple id because i do not have Internet, now the funny part is my wifi is working fine for my 5 family members and their phones/android tablets, i am the only one who has an apple device. please right back!!! thanks!

    One user reported that placing the iPod in the freezer fixed the problem. A trick that works frequently with iPhones:
    Settings > AirPlane Mode ON, Do Not Disturb ON
    Power down and wait 5-10 minutes
    Power up
    Settings > AirPlane Mode OFF, Do Not Disturb OFF
    If not successful, an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is usually in order.

  • 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:

    This has the best chance. The rice absorbs any liquid in the ipod.
    Hope this helps.

  • Daughter's IPod Touch went through the washer!  Any hope?  What to do?

    Her new IPod Touch went through the washer. Can anything be done to salvage it?

    Do not turn it on. Put it in rice for 1 - 2 weeks. Take it out, and attempt to turn it on. If it says to plug it in, you can jump up and down. Plug it in, and charge it. If it works, yay!
    Did you know, if the metal inside was a metal that didn't rust, and no electricity was going through the circut boards, you could wash your iPod as many times as you wanted. Just when you want to use it again, make sure it's dry.

  • Daughter's iPod touch went through the washer. Do i need to take the back off somehow before I try putting it in rice?

    Daughter's iPod touch went through the washer. Do i need to take the back off somehow before I try putting it in rice?

    No. Just put it in rice as is.
    You may have success in getting it to boot after using the rice technique, but it will sincerely doubtfully never fully function again.

  • My iphone went into the washing machine?

  • My iPod shuffle went through the washer and dryer. The little light turns on but no music comes through any headphones. ???

    What to do??
    Okay so I found my iPod had gone through the washer and dryer. It was perfectly dry. I tried to turn it on, and nothing. But I thought maybe it's just dead. So I plugged it in, let it charge...when I tried to turn it on, the little light went green. I thought hurray!! But I put in the earbuds and heard nothing except some random "Battery level 75 percent." On my sister's earbuds. On my earbuds, which went through the washer too, nothing.
    What to do???

    It's likely that your iPod is toast.  It does not play well with water and soap.

  • My ipod went through the washing machine!

    Ok, i have a 1GB shuffle and not realizing it was still in my pants, it went through the wash and dryer. Is there anyway to salvage it?

    A friend of mine has a son who left his Nano in his pants that went through the wash and dryer. After sitting around for a few days it came back to life. They life in a dry desert community, so other parts of the world you may need to wait longer.
    Hope it comes back for you,
