I dropped my iPhone down the toilet! 4s

I dropped my phone down the toilet after a night out!
In the morning after, I found my phone on the floor where it had been drying out over night.
Since this it has been in a bag of rice for 32 hours but still no sign of life.
The top one button had already broken so to switch the phone on it needed to be put on charge or plugged into the computer but both these things haven't sprung the phone into life!
I have heard a red mark should be seen in the charger point to state water damage but I can't see this.
Does this mean there is hope for it to start working again?
And is there anyway to get my information, picture, ect of the phone if it is completely broken?

Your data from the device may have been automatically backed up to icloud. If after 72 hours in the rice the device still does not respond - I'm hoping you have backed up your data to icloud.
Good luck.

  • 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%.

  • I dropped my phone down the toilet 2 days ago, is there any way of saving it?

    I dropped my phone down the toilet and immediately took it out, dried it off and put it in rice overnight. I did try to turn it on (i know i shouldn't have) and it did however the screen was very flickery and could tell there was still water in it so I left it in the rice and haven't taken it out since. I've tried to turn it on as I believe all the water is gone but it won't turn on. I've tried putting it on charge and nothing. It's still in the rice, is there any way at all it will turn on or is it completely dead?
    Also, there is no home button, I've been using assistive touch.

    There's an almost 100% chance you ruined your iPhone. Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

  • HT4061 Hi, I dropped my phone down the toilet this morning. I took out my SIM so it would do. I put my phone into a bag of rice for about three hours. I tried rebooting it. My phone still isn't turning on-what shall I do?

    This is URGENT-please reply.
    I dropped my phone down the toilet this morning. I took the SIM out straight away so it would not get damaged. I put my phone in a bag of rice for almost four hours. I tried to reboot my phone back to it's factory settings like it said on the internet but my phone doesn't connect to Itunes at all. My phone won't turn on. What shall I do?

    It would need to be rice for around 7 days ,however trying to turn on has probably fried it so try around 7 days and then when it still doesn't work either exchange for a refurbished iPhone 4 or use the money to get a new one.An iPhone 4 is $149 in US
    ps the sim is not likely to be damaged water conducts electricity across all the wrong circuits frying the iPhone

  • I dropped my iPhone in the toilet?

    So, I was in my bathroom just about to get in the shower while listening to music, being the clumsy person I am, I ended up dropping my iPhone in the toilet. I quickly gathered the iPhone, and placed it in rice. I waited 3 days, and if I plug it into my laptop, it turns on for about 10 seconds (only logo appears) then it shuts off. I was wondering if I visited the Apple Store, would they replace this? I have an iPhone 4.
    Btw, I don't have a warranty.

    It was $99 with a contract heavily subsidised by the carrier.
    Retail price for a new one without the carrier subsidy is $450.

  • I dropped my phone down the toilet then turned it off and left it in rice over night now it's saying battery dead and needs to be charged but I've read charing it is the worst thing to do, help please?

    After taking a dip in my vest pocket in the washing machine for about 10 minutes, my nearly new 5S spent 5 days in rice and silica gel packets.   It definitely dried out, but there is damage to either the battery or the circuit board because it turns on, and I continuously get a blue screen and it reboots every five minutes for a half hour, and then miraculously, it stays on and works perfectly.  But I wound up having to fork over $700 for a new 6+. because I couldn't stand the rebooting any longer.   I had no insurance, but I do now, Apple insurance, not carrier ins.

  • I dropped my ipod down the toilet, but it doesnt work off charge.

    i dropped my ipod down the toilet, it connects to itunes and turns on, but if you disconnect it it turns off, does this mean there is a problem with the battery?

    No, probably not.

  • Dropped my ipod down the toilet! it wont turn on but it charges...

    I dropped my ipod down the toilet about a week ago, and put it in a bag of rice for a few days straight away. I put my ipod on charge when i took it out, because it turned off when it was in the toilet and my lock button doesnt work so that is the only way it would turn on. it didn't turn on, but it still charges, as i can feel it overheating. any help on how to turn it back on? Will it ever come back on? Thanks.

    If not dry then dry in a sealed container of desiccant like uncooked rice and periodically change the rice.
    Do not charge or use until dry. Your iPod may be permenently damaged by trying to use it when still wet.
    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $199 for 64 GB 4G and $99 for the other 4GS. They do not fix yours.

  • 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

  • I dropped my iPhone in the toilet. I pulled it out right away, dried it with the hair dryer, and put it in a plastic bag with rice. Is there anything else I should do?

    Once in water you will always have issues. I would replace it. Your homeowners insurance may cover it.

  • I dropped my iphone in the toilet what do i do??!!

    help i droped my iphone in the toilet i dried it of sucked all the waer out and now its in a bag of rice help!!!!

    Keep it in the bag of rice for 5 to 7 days and then see if it will power on. It may or may not be working. If not, you can get an out of warranty replacement if that is the case.

  • 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 have dropped my iphone in the toilet

    I have dropped my iphone 4s in the toilet and was not able to turn it off i was not able to get home for about an hour to put it in the rice. i finally did and now the light on the back is on but the rest of the phone will not turn on it is still currently sitting in rice but i am really worried because all the other incidents i have read say that the phone has to  be turned off but i didnt do it (didnt know i had to ) , so does this mean that my iphone will now not work at all ? is it time for me eo say goodbye ?

    Bid your iPhone the Big Adios, make an appointment with an Apple Genius, and purchase a replacement refurbished handset.
