I dropped my iPhone 5S in the toilet and now the screen is not fully responding

So last monday i accidentally dropped my iPhone 5S on the toilet. I immediately dried it off and tried the rice trick. I left it there for 6 days til today it finally turned on. To my surprise, when it turned on i tried entering the lockscreen code but the letter "E" is not working, so i cant put the code in. The whole thing is so frustrating. I thought I'd try to restore the device but when I tried, iTunes told me I had to turn off "Find My iPhone" first, and I obviously can't do that because I can't unlock the device.
As if it couldn't go any worse, I am willing to pay the 260€ that Apple charge for fixing water damaged phones but i live in Tenerife, a small island that belongs to Spain and Apple said that the only way of them fixing it is me taking it to an Apple Store in Spain and I cant really travel and I really need my phone :/ Any solutions? Please?

    If restoring the phone as new did not solve your problem, you'll need to bring the phone to Apple for evaluation.

  • I dropped my IPhone 6 plus in water and now the power button does not want to work

    So i had the Iphone 6 Plus in my hand when it feel into a big puddle and it was in there for more than a minute so i come home and i find out that the power button (on the right hand side button) doesn't want to work like its on and im on the home page and then i press the button and nope nothing and the volume button somewhat works and sometimes the power button works so i turn it off and i put it in the rice next thing you know the phone turns on again without me touching it or anything. So I need help and the phone is new not even a month i have had it and i don't want to spend money on it. Please help! This phone is my life and i will do anything(that does not wast money) to save my phone.

    You can try leaving it in that bag of rice for 5-7 days to see if it will dry, however if it will not stay turned off, I would say that something is shorted out. You will need to make an appointment at the Genius Bar of the nearest Apple Store or Authorized Apple Service provider and be ready to pay for an out of warranty replacement. If you purchased Apple Care Plus there is only a deductible, but without it, you will have to pay the price of an out of warranty phone. User damage is not covered under warranty.

  • I dropped my iPhone 4s down the toilet and now the touchscreen won't work?

    I dropped my iPhone 4s down the toilet because I saw a spider on the seat and jumped, causing me to drop it down the loo. I fished it out and dried it off. The phone was on so I tried to turn it off so it didn't fry the inside of it. I held down the power button and the usual "Slide to power off" slider came up. I tried to swipe it and the phone wouldn't do it. I kept trying to swipe but it wouldn't let me and the screen started to do something like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ij7r2dyqBMg
    It then stopped and stayed on the homescreen but slowly faded to a plain white screen and wouldn't do anything. I took out my SIM Card and dried it off because I didn't want it getting damaged. Then it turned to a black screen and once again did nothing, so I plugged it into my Macbook and it vibrated, indicating that it was being charged. Also, my iTunes & iPhoto icons started bouncing. The screen was still black so I unplugged it and left it on my bedside drawer to do whatever. About an hour or so later my boyfriend pressed the home button and the screen turned on, but it looked like a cloudy sky. It wouldn't do anything else so again, I left it for about an hour.
    I then tried turning the phone on and the Apple logo appeared. The buttons work fine and the home screen with the date & time appeared, but the only thing that wasn't showing up was my screensaver, it is blurred out. I put my SIM Card back in and it says "SIM Faliure" on the screen & at the top where it usually says your network etc. (T-Mobile, 3G and all that) it just says "Invalid SIM" instead. Also, I can't use the touchscreen. I can't swipe up for the options or camera, I can't swipe to turn it off & I can't unlock the phone. I don't have any rice in this house as me & my father are allergic to it so there is no point in buying it.
    It's a replacement phone & I've had it for less than three months. What else can I do? Also, there's a strange smell by the power button, but nowhere else on the phone.
    Help? Thanks - Ellie xo

    I think that we all know the answer to this one.
    Unfortunatley the device is concidered damaged by water. Apple can do an out of warranty repair which would cost $199. Generally they would just replace the device in this case for the $199.
    The alternative is to Purchase a new device.

  • I dropped my iPhone 4S in the toilet. Now it won't shut off and the camera light stays on. What should I do?

    I dropped my iPhone 4S in the toilet. I dried it and shook out as much water as I could. I removed the SD card and put everything in a bowl of rice. It is still in there and everything appears to be working normally, but it won't shut off and the camera light stays on. I've tried the restart thing where you press and hold the pwr button and the home button. What should I do?

  • I dropped my iPhone 5s in the toilet last night, what do I do?

    I dropped my iphone 5s in the toilet last night! I quickly grabbed it out. It had an otterbox defender on it, I dried it took it out of the case, dried it again and blew in the headphone jack, speakers, and charging port. I then immediatly put it in a ziplock bag of rice and left it overnight. This morning I took it out turned it on and it was fully functional (finger unlock, touchscreen), I didnt check the speakers though. The screen on the top left has a streak (about an inch long) that looks like water damage.  I turned my phone back off and put it back in the bag of rice and Im planning on checking it again later tonight. Is my phone ruined or can I make it go away? Also, will my phone be okay in the long run?

    There's no way to know how much damage was done.  It didn't help that you took it out of the rice and turned it on... that may have permanently damaged it.  Leave it off, in the rice for several more days... you might get lucky.

  • I dropped my iphone 5 in the toilet about 3 hours ago, I've had it in a bag of rice since. I tried turning it on, but nothing. How long should I wait before i go get a new phone?

    If water drained out of your phone when you pulled it out of the toilet it is most likelyh dead.  Stop trying to turn it on or plugging it in.  You really need to put it in a bag of rice for 3-4 days and just leave it alone.  It will take that long to get it totally dry to see if it is going to come back to life.
    Good luck, but since you tried to turn it on, and plugged it in while it was probably still wet inside I would not count on it surviving.

  • HT1937 i drop my iphone 4 to the toilet is possible to get my information back

    i drop my iphone 4 to the toilet is possible to get my information back.
    Or i lost the iphone and the information inside for ever??????

    have you ever done a backup of your phone? if you haven't and if your phone doesn't work then all your info/data will be gone.

  • I dropped my phone in a toilet, the sound and vibrate are working but the screen will not turn on, what should I do?

    I dropped my phone in a toilet, the sound and vibrate are working but the screen will not turn on, what should I do? do I just need a new screen or what? I'm freaking out here

    Don't freak out, just get over it. It's probably done.
    What should I do if I drop my phone in the toilet?
    Apple may offer you an refurbished iPhone in exchange for yours, for about half the cost of a new one.
    I wouldn't be too specific about just how it got wet

  • I dropped my iphone 5 in the water, its dead and when I try to charge it the apple logo comes and goes, thats my only sign of life, I've done many after market repairs but what I want to know is if I should replace the ligntning port or the battery

    I dropped my iphone 5 in the water, its dead and when I try to charge it the apple logo comes and goes, thats my only sign of life, I've done many after market repairs but what I want to know is if I should replace the ligntning port or the battery... or just buy a galaxy s5?

    If you dropped it in water, and then plugged it in, you may very well have destroyed the battery and/or the logic board.  Charging/plugging in to a power source is very damaging to wet electronic devices.  There is not much you can do but replace the entire iPhone...and since you did repairs yourself Apple will not do an out-of-warranty replacement.
    You can try replacing the battery, the lightning port is another issue, but I would not expect that iPhone to work again.

  • Dropped my iphone 5c on the back. It got purple lines and then went completely black. functions such as siri still work

    i dropped my iphone 5c on the back. It got purple and white lines. it slowly transformed to being completely black. If i were to activate siri it would work. so would the sound.

    You damaged the phone. take it in to an Apple Store for an out of warranty replacement.

    Looks like a Visit to an Apple Store or AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) is required... Be sure to make an appointment first...

  • I dropped my iphone vertically on the ground. The screen is normal when it is locked. but when unlocked, it is broken down from the clock. Can it be fixed and is it under the warranty conditions? If not how much is the price to change the screen?Thanks

    User damage is not covered by warranty unless you have Applecare +
