HT201401 baby tossed iphone in toilet now won't hold charge

My 18 month old daughter tossed my iphone 4 in the toilet.  After drying it out for a couple of days, I tried to use it again.  I thought it was fixed when it came on, and even was able to make calls.  All seemed fine, until i realized that it will only hold charge to around 10%.  Then when it ran out of battery, it wouldn't charge again.  It would show the apple logo, the turning circle thing, then off again.  So, I dried it out for another day or so, then charged it, and it came back on, I could use it, placed calls, etc.  It, again, would only charge to 10% or so.  I have ordered a new battery, but I'm wondering if this will fix the problem.  If not, does anyone have any suggestions other than to never leave my phone where my baby girl can get to it.  lol  Thanks.

Your best bet is to not change the battery and take it to Apple for a replacment unit. It will cost you 149 but the phone will work/look like new. As it was water damaged more could be damaged other then the battery. If you replace the battery then you won't be able to replace it with Apple for 149 as it won't have the origninal parts or it's been opened by a 3rd party.

  • First iPod wouldn't turn off...now won't hold charge

    I got a new speaker system for my iPod. I used it once and ever since my iPod will not turn off without being plugged into the computer or the wall. I did the 5Rs and it still wouldn't turn off like it's suppsed to. Now I went to try some other things and it is completely dead after I charged it a few days ago. It used to hold a charge for a long time. Now nothing. I wanted some advise before I tried other things. I don't want to make matters worse. Help me please!!! (of course it was almost a year to the day that I bought the thing and look, the warrenty is up and it no longer works...thanks Apple.)

    sorry for my horrible spelling. it's been a long month. any help would be greatly appreciated.

    iPod touch 2nd G won't hold charge. Restore does not help. Removed all apps and it still discharges even if not turned on and used for anythig. What gives?

    If it is warranty, bring it back to the Genius bar and insist on a replacement.  If out of warranty, you can get a replacement iPod with a new battery for $79 at the genius bar.

    A bit more explanation would be good.  That's about the same as phoning your garage and saying "my car doesn't go".

  • Gently dropped iPhone 4 and now won't turn on only if plugged in to wall

    I dropped my iPhone 4 and now it won't turn on. Only when plugged into electric socket does it actually try to come on. I get to the point of putting in pass code and then it goes to it telling mr to plug into iTunes but when I unplug phone it goes blank again. Any suggestions?

    you broke your phone.  Bring it to Apple for an out of warranty exchange ($149) or find a 3rd party repair shop near you.

  • IPhone froze and now won't turn on

    Hello, my iPhone 3 froze so I unplugged my charger and let it die. When I woke up the next morning it was off, so I shrugged it off and brought it to school to keep it safe. When I came home and went to charge it, the battery low sign didn't pop up and it seemed like it won't charge or turn on.  My lock/off button is broken so that didn't work, and I tried around seven different chargers. Does anyone have a solution?

    if the power button doesnt work not a lot of options to turn it on with or do a reset apple will do a out of warranty replace for 149$

  • IPhone won't hold charge

    I have had my iPhone for about six months, suddenly it won't hold a charge. I have tried charging it using my computer and also through the usb to the outlet. The charge symbol appears but my battery icon continues to be red?

    If the phone is hacked, this could interfere with the phone's ability to charge.
    If it's not hacked, you'll need to either call AppleCare or make an appointment at the Genius Bar in an Apple Store.

  • IPod Touch (5th Gen) Battery Won't Hold Charge

    After the last update my iPod Touch 5th Gen will not hold a charge. I haven't had any problems with it until this 8.1.1 update. Yesterday I charged the battery up to full charge and  used it briefly to listen to music in my car however here it is the next day and the battery is dead again. It is NOT playing while not in my car. Meaning nothing should be running the battery down because it's not being used.  I know it's not playing because the volume is set to half way so I'd undoubtedly hear it if it was playing.  It just won't hold a charge and for no apparent reason. Any suggestions?

  • Ipod 3rd Gen won't hold charge

    I got a 3rd generation Ipod used for my sister for christmas, but it is having problems that I'm worried about.
    First of all, it won't charge through the usb cord hooked up to the computer. It does recognize it in ITUNES but it won't charge. I hooked it up to a wall charger, and it charges fine but it won't hold a charge for more than 10 minutes!!! Any help?

    3rd generation iPods don't charge over USB.
    If the wall charger is USB, it won't charge the iPod either.
    You will need to purchase a Firewire wall charger.

  • IPod Nano won't hold charge, play or sync

    Hi all,
    been having issues with my 6th gen iPod Nano recently.
    When charging, it will hold charge for a small amount of time but no more than an hour even after being left overnight.
    When clicking on the radio app it doesn't recognise headphones are plugged in.
    When trying to play a song, it says it is playing but there is no sound and the scrubbing bar remains at 0 seconds. If you scrub to later in the track it says it is playing but does not advance.
    When connecting to a computer it freezes and rarely pops up in iTunes.
    I have tried restoring it, charging from full and accessing the menu by pressing the volume + & - buttons, but now all this does is bring up a white screen which says 'ok to disconnect'.
    I'm out of ideas, but would love to hear anyone elses suggestions.
    Thanks,
    Matt

    It depends on how you are using the Nano.  Otherwise, no.  If you feel as though this is an issue, schedule an appointment at your local Apple Store/Genius Bar and explain the situation to them.

  • Ipod classic won't hold charge

    My apple ipod classic which is just a yr or two old won't hold a charge.  The battery icon has a lightning bolt in it so it says its charging but it won't hold a charge.  Any ideas?

    It sounds your iPod's battery is shot and in need of replacement.  You can have Apple service it at a flat rate or you can find a third party repair site who can do it for much less.
