HT4623 how do I restore a water damaged iphone?

I recently dropped my iphone 5 in water and did my best to dry it out. how do i restore it after that? now what?

Water and electricity done mix well at all.
Take it to the Apple Store and have it checked.
If necessary, they can replace it but you will be charged for the replacement.

How to retrieve photos from water-damaged iPhone

Last week (Wednesday), I my iPhone got wet while I was out of the country. I immediately put it in a grocery bag of rice (no ziplocks or tupperware available), and put it on top of the refrigerator. I left it there until the end of my trip on Saturday. When I got home, I put it on the charger and left it until the local AT&T store opened on Monday. They weren't able to help me, but suggested I go to the phone repair place across the street where, for $25, he opened it up and dried it out. It did not come back on for him, but he suggested that I take it home and put it on my charger and see if it will come back on.
Just to be clear, I am not all that worried about salvaging the phone. I'm pretty sure it is irretrievably damaged due to the length of time it was in the water and the fact that it was ON and I checked to see if it worked after 24 hours (that's how long they told me to keep it in rice). I have insurance and can replace the phone. Everything else was backed up. What I DO need, is to retrieve the work-related photos that are on the phone that did not get backed up while I was on my trip. I do not use the cloud, so 3 days worth of photos are on my phone (luckily I backed up before I left the country). I did some surfing and found some steps that say they can sometimes retrieve data from a wet/dead phone, so I tried to turn it on one more time, and was ecstatic to see the little Apple symbol appear followed by the "unlock" screen, but then the phone died again.
This gave me hope, so I ran back down to the repair shop and he could repeatedly get it to come on, but it shows the battery is dead and it will not stay on long enough to retrieve the data. He swapped the battery and got it to come on long enough to start the back up but it got about 1/2 way through before it shut itself off again. The battery in it is the original and it is dead. He suggested I plug it in and keep trying to get it to come on long enough to dowload the pictures. I have it plugged in, but it doesn't appear to be charging at all. Is there something more I can do? I've seen other posts that suggest keeping it in the rice for over a week. I've even seen software that says it can retrieve data even from a dead phone ("Wondershare Dr. Fone"). Is there anything I can do to get those pictures?
Thanks!

Search the internet. This is way beyond the scope of this forum.
Best of luck.

How much does it usually cost to fix water damaged iphone?

Will Apple be able to fix my water damaged iPhone and how much will it cost? The screen is black and won't come back on. It's only 1 month old and I hate to ditch it and get a refurbished one through insurance claim. I'm not sure if I'm asking this question in the right forum, though! Thanks for your help!

Thank you for your quick answer! So they won't fix the one I have for sure? I will get a refurbished phone?

I got water in my iPhone 4S (not drenched as it was within a LifeStyle waterproof case).
I dried it out in a bowl of rice, but the phone no longer charges, will not allow wifi, cannot locate network.

You have to get a refurbished iPhone. As your phone is out of warranty, you will have to pay £139 at an Apple Store in order to get it > http://support.apple.com/kb/index?page=servicefaq&geo=United_States&product=ipho ne

How much is the replacement price for a water damaged iPhone 5? Since iPhone 5 is no longer available

I know it was &229 before. But how much is the replacement price for a water damaged iPhone 5 now? Since iPhone 5 is no longer available and replaced by iPhone 5C and iPhone 5S. Could I pay a little more to replace an iPhone 5S?

Copied from Apple's website:
Out-of-Warranty Service
If you own an iPhone that is ineligible for warranty service but is eligible for Out-of-Warranty (OOW) Service, Apple will service your iPhone for the Out-of-Warranty Service fee listed below.
iPhone model
Out-of-Warranty Service
iPhone 5
$269
iPhone 4S
$199
iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS,
iPhone 3G, Original iPhone
$149

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.

If it work if i replaced the motherboard of water damaged iphone

i got a water damaged iphone 2g from my friend for cheap. it won't turn on. just dead. im gonna replace it's motherboard and try!!. will this work or no?? what do you suggest me experts??

How can anyone here possibly know whether it will work or not? None of us here have seen the phone, or know which components are damaged and need replacing. It's an impossible question to answer.

I have a water damage iPhone 5s would like to change to new set with top up the money. But the staff told me it couldn't be done due to some of my minor parts are missing according to company policy. I need advise as I want to change it.

Hi all,
I have a water damage iPhone 5s was bring to service center to have new set change with top up the money. Well, the staff were told me that the phone can't be change due to some of minor parts are missing in the phone. He said this is due to company policy. I would like to check is that nothing can do with this missing minor parts? I really doubt the policy of the Apple as I was told as long as you bring to the service center, they will assists. As Apple is a well known brand top of the world, but the servicing is really make me so disappointed! I really doubt should I still continue to support the Apple product with helpless service!
Would like to take this opportunity to seek the professional advise in order to get my phone change back.
Appreciate very much!
Thanks.

Well, your service is handled by an Authorized Apple Service Center. If they refuse to handle the claim, that is well within their rights. Apple as well could void a claim under the same circumstances. I'm not saying that you did or did not modify the device, but you could try and talk to a supervisor there and make another request. You can also try and contact Apple by obtaining a number with this support document and describe your problem. http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57

HT1414 How do i restore and update my iphone 4S without losing all of my photos and videos and contacts?

how do i restore and update my iphone 4S without losing my contacts photos and videos??

Use the device as designed.
Pictures and videos taken with the device are designed to be regularly copied off the device to a computer.
Contacts are designed to be synced to a supported application on the computer or a cloud service.
Media should exist in iTunes on the computer.
If the device has been used as designed then at most, only a miniscule amount of data is at risk. That data being pics/vids taken since the last time they were copied off the device. Also at risk is app data created since the last backup to iTunes or iCloud.
If the device is in recovery mode and it has not been used as designed, it is too late to salvage the data.

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.

Transferring data from water-damaged iphone to replacement iphone

Will/Can Apple download picture, apps, etc. from your water-damaged iphone onto the replacement iphone?

No... Apple cannot and will not.
It is the users responsibility to regularly backup their content via iTunes on the computer or iCloud.
All media and apps acquired via iTunes should exist in iTunes on the users computer.

If I take my water damaged iPhone 4 into an apple store, will they be able to retrieve my pictures, video and contacts from it?? It currently won't turn on, wondering if there is a way for them to turn it on to do that?

No, they won't. If the phone won't turn on at all, the only way to even attempt to get information off the flash drive would be to turn the whole thing over to one of those data recovery firms like DriveSaver. You're looking at a couple of thousand dollars, at least.

If they were backed up, you can restore your phone from that previous backup. If they weren't backed up, you cannot restore them.

Can my water damaged iPhone still be replaced under warranty if it had a problem before the water damage?

My iPhone 5 is still under a year old and it fell in the toilet for a few seconds about 3 days ago.
I know the apple warranty doesn't cover water damage. The liquid damage indicator in the SIM slot hasn't turned red.
Around March this year I noticed that some faint spots appeared in my photos taken by the rear camera and I've read that this type of damage could get you an instant replacement of your iPhone, I just never got around to taking it to the apple store. I have those photos saved so I can prove that this problem happened a while ago.
I've had my now water damaged iPhone in a rice bag for three days, however I have been charging it a little to turn it on every so often to check on it. It seems to be getting better, but the screen is still "fuzzy" and the touch is a bit "jumpy" and not as responsive as before. So I'm worried I might have damaged the screen or motherboard or something and I don't know what to do?
If I go into the apple store and tell them about the camera problem from before would they give me a new iPhone? or will they not accept it because of the water damage?
I really can't afford a new iPhone or a refurbished one even, so what's the best thing to do?
thanks in advance.

No. Your warranty is void due to the water damage
You can buy a replacement for $229
