I drop my phone in water and it wont power back on

I drop my phone in water and it won't power back on?

Yes, that is very possible.
Water and electronics do not mix. You'll most likely have to buy a new phone.

    At the present time, audiobooks are a one-time download and cannot be redownloaded again for free.  You can try contacting the iTunes store to see if they would grant you an exception: http://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html.

  • Dropped my phone in water and now the camera doesn't work, any ideas why its' the only thing not working

    I somehow knocked my iphone 4s in the sink of water and everything seems to work except the camera.  Is there a way to reinstall  the software or does anyone know what I can do other than using phone protection insurance?  All my pictures are there and they upload and share but just can't get the camera to take pictures.

    The device is damage, it was dropped in water.  You are lucky that the device works at all.

  • Dropped lumia 520 in water and it wont turn on

    One week ago I dropped my phone in fresh water and it was completely submersed for about 2-3 minutes. I put it in a bag of uncooked rice for a couple of days and when I took it out it worked perfectly fine. However when it died I could not charge the battery and still can not. It will not turn on because it is dead and I can not charge it. Please help!!

    While the phone may have worked for a bit it would appear corrosion has set it causing the phone to no longer work. There is nothing that can be done. Unless you have insurance for this the phone will be lost. Repair will most certainly be more expensive than buying a new phone.

  • I dropped my phone in water and the speaker will not work

    I dropped my iPhone 4 in the sink and pulled it out immediately but it had been completely submerged. I then shook all the water I could out and found that everything worked fine, except for the speakers. I now cannot place a phonecall or play any music with out headphones or a speaker. Also when I try upping the volume, it says headphones when the volume thing is displayed. Is there any way I can get my speakers to work again? I have my phone in a bowl of rice already.

    You're lucky that's all that went wrong.
    First thing is to immediately turn off the phone.
    There is probably still water in the headphone connector causing a short.
    To dry the phone place it in a bag of rice and leave it there sealed in the bag of rice for several day. Hopefully when you turn it back on the headphone connector will work as before.
    Normally submergence in water destroys a phone.
    If the phone does not return to proper working mode, make an appointment at an Apple Store to have the phone replaced for the out of warranty fee.

  • Dropped my phone in water and did not turn it off, what do i do?

    I knocked my phone of the sink and into the toilet. the water was only halfway up the screen vertically and fell upside down on the power button side. it barely touched the speakers and the charger part but when i pulled it out and dried it off, i did not turn it off because I thought it was fine - the sreen was fine and everything worked perfectly until the grey screen and the black apple logo came up and had a bunch of code at the top of the screen? i dried it out even more and tried to turn it off, and it wouldn't. then it started changes screens a lot until it came to the restart screen and i thought it was okay but now it's blacks out in an airtight bag of rice..what do I do? is there no hope now and just replace? if I have apple care, how much would it cost to replace an iphone 5?

    But I would also like to now if there's anything else I can do before having to get a new phone?
    There is nothing more that you can do...turning the iPhone on and off does not help and can cause further damage if there is still moisture inside...moisture and electronics are not compatible.
    At this point the best option is a visit to an Apple store genius bar for help.

  • I dropped my phone in water and put in rice for 3 days and plugged it into my computer but it keeps flashing the Apple logo and a no charge sign. It also is not connecting to my computer and it does not say "Amelia's iPhone" in iTunes

    And then put in rice for 3 days and plugged it into my computer but it keeps flashing the Apple logo and a no charge sign. It also is not connecting to my computer and it does not say "Amelia's iPhone" in iTunes

    Put it in rice for another 4 days.

  • I need help i dropped my phone in water, dried it, and now it wont play sound except for on the headphones

    i dropped my phone in water and now it wont play sound except in headphones and i even dried it!

    You'll have to buy an out of warranty phone at the apple store.
    Just because you dried doesn't mean that there wasn't any damage done.

  • I dropped my phone is water. How do I get it to work again?

    So I dropped my phone in water and I quickly took it out. And it still works, but the speakers are broken on it. How do I get them to work?

    You won't.  Had you placed the phone immediately in a bag of dry rice for a few days, you might have had a chance.  But turning on a phone before it dries completely just destroys it.
    Bring it in to Apple for replacement. 

  • Dropped phone in water and it still works.

    I dropped my phone in water for 2 seconds and it still works but should i keep it in rice just in case or can i continue using it

    Water and electronics don't mix.
    Usually when there is water damage, you power off the phone and let it sit in a bag of uncooked rice fro at least 4 to 5 days.
    The water damage is what is wrong with your phone.
    You can get an out of warranty iphone at the Apple store.

  • I dropped my iphone in water and the phone will not turn back on or charge...

    I dropped my iPhone in water and the phone will not turn back on or charge... I know its probably fried and I need it repaired but is there any possible way I would be able to save the information that was on it. Pictures or videos? Most of my pictures were saved on my i Cloud, but some information had not been uploaded like my videos.
    Does apple provide any sort of recovery services?
    Thanks

  • Hi I was wondering if you could help me I have an iPhone 4 which the silent/ringer button was broken and I had ordered a repair when receiving the box I was juggling a lot and dropped my phone in water will my warranty cover the damages?

    Ho there I have an iPhone 4 and is currently away for service but I wondered if it will be covered by the warranty as the silent button was broken and I sent for a box and as the box was being delivered I was juggling a lot and dropped my phone in water. I  wondering if it will be covered due to the fact the button was broke before the water damage.
    Thanks

    Most likely not but only Apple can say for sure.

  • A very good friend of mine dropped her iphone into water and now it is not working.Her husband recently passed away and text messages from him and from well wishers after his decease are feared lost. Is there any way to retrieve them?

    A very good friend of mine dropped her iphone into water and now it is not working.Her husband recently passed away and text messages from him and from well wishers after his decease are feared lost. Is there any way to retrieve them?
    I suggested contacting Compub in Nassau St as the info is priceless and worth the trouble of trying to regain?
    Any thoughts? The poor lady is very distress

    If she has backed up her iPhone she can replace that iPhone and set up the new iPhone from her backup.
    You can put the iPhone that went into water into a plastic baggie with either new silica gel packets (preferred) or raw rice and let it sit for  4 - 5 days. After that time remove the phone and connect it to power for at least a half hour. While it is still connected to power reset it by holding down the power and hold button, wait for the Apple logo then let go of the buttons. Might take several tries. If it revives immediately back it up.

  • HT5622 A month ago I dropped my iPhone in water and it works fine except for the signal  it always says "searching". Can you help with this problem?

    About a Month ago I dropped we went swimming and I dropped my iPhone in water and it works fine except at the top for the signal it says searching. Can you please help me with this problem?

    It's very likely that the phone is permanently damaged - water corrodes the very fine copper strips which form the circuitry very quickly - but only a service engineer can tell you what its condition is and whether it can be restored to health. If possible take it to an Apple Store (make an appointment) for a free assessment. Don't be surprised if you are told you will have to replace it.
