I dropped my phone in the toilet and now is not working.   What should I do?

Put in in a bag of dry rice for a few days and see if that drys it out. Don't be surprised if it doesn't. You may need to take it to an Apple Store. They will offer you a replacement at a reduced price
Hope that helps

  • I dropped my phone down the toilet and before I switched it off I sent a text. I have left it to dry out for the last 48hiurs. Is there any hope for my iPhone 5c?

    I dropped my phone down the toilet and before I switched it off I sent a text. I have left it to dry out for the last 48hiurs. Is there any hope for my iPhone 5c?

    Probably not. First of all, 48 hours is not enough. 5-7 days is better. Secondly, if you did not turn it off the very instant you retrieved it, it probably did worse damage. Even if it powers on, it's very unlikely it will function 100%.

    Turn it off and put it in a bag of rice for 5-7 days.  You may get lucky.

  • I dropped my phone down the toilet and it is now not switching on anyone know the charges if I took it to apple?

    i have had my iPhone 5s in a bag of rice and this still has made any difference to my phone after dropping down the toilet how much would I get charged to get a new one or repaired

    Apple will not attempt to repair that iPhone, but they will do an out-of-warranty replacement for $269 in the US

  • Dropped my phone down the toilet and everything works fine still apart from the WIFI is not there.

    I recently dropped my White Iphone 4s down a toilet on a night out!!!
    I quickly picked it up and took it home and dryed in off and placed it in a bowl of rice and a few days later everything was fine and working just like normal apart from some water under the screen.
    Also the Wi-Fi option on my iphone just isn't displayed and greyed out.
    I have also recently updated the software on the phone to the new 5.1.1 which i have seen there has been problems with about the wi-fi dropping and not being displayed.
    I would just like some advice if anyone else has had this problem and if which i think it probably is, the hardware has become loose inside the phone and its not the software.

    The WiFi radio is dead. You cooked it. Make an appointment at the genius bar and take your credit card. If you did not purchase AppleCare+ with the phone, a replacement will cost you US$199.

  • I dropped my phone in the toilet and didnt turn it off will it still work?

    I dropped my iphone 4 in the toilet. I immediately fished it out dried it off and checked for signs of life. After looking very closely I was able to see that while the screen was nearly black everything was still functioning I didnt know I should turn it off its been on for about 4 hours I even charged it b i didnt know if it turned off it it would come back to life after reading about what I should do I immediately turned it off and put it in a bag of rice. What are the chances that it will still work????

  • My ipod nano 6th generation got dropped in water for 3 seconds and now will not work

    Any suggestions, my ipod 6th generation got dropped in the pool and immediately got pulled out, it workled again then but now wont turn on.

              See this article! (i'v heard this actually works [sometimes]). You might also try rapping your ipod in a towel and letting it set in the sun for a day! However, if these do not work you may need to take it to your local apple store for repair!

  • My I Mac showed an error while updating the OS and now just hangs. What should I do?

    I Mac asked me to update the OS from 10.7.3. It showed an error and now the computer just hangs. Its become excuriatingly slow. Takes about 15-20 minutes to boot up and takes hours to perform any function. I tried to update the OS again but it keeps showing an error in connecting to the server. What do I do.?

    Have you tried booting into the Recovery HD to check/repair your disk. Restart holding Command+R - once booted select Disk Utility and then select Macintosh HD and click on 'repair disk' If it fixes anything click repair disk again until you get a clean pass. Whilst in Disk Utility you could also 'repair disk permissions' With Macintosh HD still selected click on 'repair disk permissions'. Once done, restart as normal from the Apple menu.
    Then try updating again using the 'combo', available here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1582
    If you still have problems you could try a Safe Boot: restart holding down the shift key until you see the grey progress bar. Once booted restart as normal from the Apple menu.

  • My screen is frozen and the home and off buttons wont work. what should i do?

    What do you do if your iPad screen freezes and it wont do anything? Home and off buttona wont work!

    Have you tried both together for a Reset? Try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. The screen will go blank and then power ON again in the normal way.] It is app and data safe!
    Failing that see here for unresponsive iPads - http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3281

  • I update the software and now is not working, I update the software and now is not working

    I update my software, which was suggested by mi Ipod "ajustes". It finished and it asked me to connect it to the Itunes. I did so. The Itunes updated the software, and it says "Debe restaurar su Ipod" ... when I try to restore my Ipod it says "error"... and now my ipod is like freeze with the apple like when you turn it on, and with the bar which is not moving.

    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 iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Drop my iphone in the toilet and now is in recovery mode, if i restore will i lose my pictures?

    i need help

    Don't turn a water soaked electronic device on.  Pack it immediately in rice and wait until it is completely dry.  Even if it works initially components may corrode and eventually fail.  There are "Bags" you can buy to restore a water soaked cell phone (one time bags, or multi-use bags).  If you don't have one of these bags, then rice is the best thing I know of.  Obviously if you can get the phone to your service provider or an Apple Store that would be your best solution.

  • I dropped my Ipod in the toilet and now it's not turning on..

    Does anybody know if apple covers water damage on Ipods? I've tried looking it up and I can't find anything on it, I have a limited warranty that is going to ruin out in Jan. 2008 Someone please help??

    Trying to power it on may have been the stupidest thing if it wasn't completely dry on the inside... which you're unlikely to know. You have to let it dry someplace warm and bright for a few days. Seriously, keep it away from dampness or darkness. Sit it on a night stand with a night light, for instance. When you're sure it's completely and thoroughly dry, charge it up and try it again and I'm pretty sure it'll be up and running. It might be a little trippy at first and you may have to reset it a couple times, but I don't think it'll be fried if it's totally dry. Good luck!
