I dropped my iphone in the bath..

I dropped my iphone in the bath. It dryed out, when i opened it to see if there was water damage, the white circle signs were still white. Now when i plug in the iphone, i see a battery with a lightning bolt but it doesnt seem to be charging. when plugged in to the pc, nothing happens... is it dead?

If it didn't get wet enough to trip the sensors and void the warranty, you voided the warranty by opening it.
Make an appointment at the genius bar of your local Apple Store and take your credit card with you.

    I dropped my phone in the bath, can it be repaired or replaced in store?

    Apple do not repair iPhones but offer a replacement.  An iPhone 4 will be $149.
    Go to Service Answer Center - iPhone and select your country from the drop-down list for prices in your area.

    You can try drying it out internally by wrapping the unit in a paper towel and putting it in a bag with a dessicant safe for electronics such as silica gel pellets, or failing that in a bag of dry, uncooked rice, for a few days. It's very probable that it's been permanently damaged, but it's possible that if you dry it out, it may then work. If after a few days in the bag it still has problems, then you'll need to pay to get it exchanged (by Apple) or repaired (by a third-party repair service) or buy a new iPhone.
    Good luck.

    Bring your phone and $199 to the Apple store for an out of warranty exchange of your phone.  You clearly broke it when you dropped it.

  • Dropped my iphone in the lake, possible recovery

    So I was on the lake and happened to have my phone fall in, i grabbed it but it had already been completely submerged in the water. Is there anything that can be done to make this thing work again or is it a paperweight? I've dried it completely, even used a hair dryer.

    Whyild-
    I really believe the worst thing you can do is leave it wet for any period of time, or put it in something that may get debris in the phone. I was told that using the hair dryer would push water further into the phone. How much wetter can it get when it's been totally submerged?
    There's a silver strip that you can see when you look in the ear bud opening. You'll notice now, part of that strip is red. That's because it was exposed to water. There is no 'making up a story for Apple', which isn't the honest thing to do anyway. It may be too late now to recover your phone but it can't hurt anything to try. The warranty has now been negated.
    An Apple Tech told me on the phone a couple of weeks or so ago, that I was the only one he's talked to who was able to get the phone working again. So ...... you never know unless you try; nothing to lose. Good luck.
    I posted the message below on Feb 16, 2008. And the phone is still fine; has worked fine every day since. Nothing changed.

    Well, I have a good experience to report. Or is it a bad experience with a good outcome? I dropped my iPhone in the toilet this morning. Took me a second to realize what had happened but then I moved faster than I have in years. The case I use is net on the sides and bottom so offered no protection. I immediately dried it and blew in every opening I found, tried it to see if it worked, ran to read these Discussions to see what to do, and discovered I shouldn't try it to see if it works! So I powered it off. It had been giving me error messages like something wasn't compatible, and it would blink on and off. The screen looked fine, I had my calendar and photos but I'd lost the Internet connection, and Edge, and had no AT&T service bars.
    Someone (haven't yet found it again) suggested trying a hair dryer, which I did on COOL cycle. I held it a bit away, alternated pointing it toward each opening, and did that for about 15 minutes or so. I then put it back on the dock, charged it, and synced it. While on the Dock, it would go on and off, ask if I wanted to power off, but I synced everything, left it on the dock charging until it was full and now ... it's fine.
    I should have powered it off right away; dodged a bullet there; but I believe the hair dryer, on cool, for a steady period of time helped speed up getting the moisture out, as opposed to letting it sit for a week drying naturally.
    Everything is working. Whew!! It won't be going in that room with me again!
    Will post again if anything changes.

  • 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.

  • Dropped my iPhone in the water.

    I dropped my iPhone in the water a few days ago with a case on,however, the case was not waterproof certified. Although my phone still works, ive been having some problems with it. Like it not wanting to charge random times and getting stuck on dock connector mode. The LCI indicator is red aswell.I have Apple Care though. I was wondering if I took it to an apple store if they would give me a new one or not.

    Using the hair drier, even on cold, was a big mistake it just forces the moisture farther into the iPhone.
    In your original post you said it happened a few days ago, now you say 3 months ago? That is more that a few days. Regardless the moisure sensor has probably been triggered and my answer remains the same.
