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.

  • 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%.

    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.

  • 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 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 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.

    Put in in a bag of dry rice for a few days and see if that drys it out. Don't be surprised if it doesn't. You may need to take it to an Apple Store. They will offer you a replacement at a reduced price
    Hope that helps

  • Dropped my phone in the toilet.. HELP PLEASE

    Recently.. Maybe I couple days ago I dropped my phone in the toilet and dug it out about 10-18 seconds later. I heard after it is dropped in the toilet/water, you are not to power it on and off but I did because I wasn't aware. When I first tried turning it on it lit up for about 2 seconds maybe even less. Then later it kind of lit on and off, but eventually died off. (Stupid of me.)  After I got home from school which was about three hours later, I immediately placed my phone in a bag of uncooked rice. After about 18 hours I tried turning it on, and of course everthing was working except for the screen (Sounds and everything was working fine. I could hear the the keypad clicking, etc.).. Assuming the screen is fried. :\ Honestly, my last choice would be to get a new phone because I'm so attached to my iPhone. But if that's my only choice, then I'll get a new phone. Now, ny question is- If everything on my phone is working fine EXCEPT for the screen which is black but the touch and everything is working, can I just get the LCD/screen (If that's what it's called) replace/fixed? Thank you for your time. I'm dying without a phone, I feel lost. :\

  • Dropped my phone in the toilet?

    Okay so im at school and i dropped my phone in the toilet. I dried it off and took apart the whole phone, battery, sim card, stylus etc. i had it wrapped in tissues as i dont have any rice. now that i turned it on its showing me the android sign and it says "downloading" and the top left hand corner it says factory mode high speed do you know what it is doing?

    The rice thing takes days not minutes or even hours. You should turn the phone back off, pull the battery and put it in rice for 7-10 days when you get home.
    Hope you have not caused further damage before the phone was dried sufficiently.

  • 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?

    I thought that I had backed up my pictures to icloud, but when I looked online at icloud, I don't see pictures listed.  However, a few of the recent pictures have shown up on my phone.
    IHow could I get these from my MacBook to my phone?
    Thanks again.
    When you log into you icloud account on your computer you are viewing data that you sync to icloud not the backups.  You can't view the backups.
    Look at the two links I provided.
    You still didn't answer any of my two questions I asked.

    " When I did this, my library showed all the music I have "purchased" from itunes but did not have the music that I downloaded a long time ago through itunes from my old CDs."
    Correct.
    " How can I get that music to show up in my library now on my new computer?  "
    Copy it from your old computer or your backup copy of your old computer.
    The sync is one way - computer to ipod.

  • I have a late 2008 iMac with dual intels and the fans won't come on anymore.  About every 1 1/2 hours, it automatically shuts down to cool off.  Is there any way to manually turn it on?  Or, do they have to be replaced?

    About every 1 1/2 hours, it automatically shuts down to cool off.  Is there any way to manually turn it on?  Or, do they have to be replaced?

    I tried that with no improvement.  I think I might have to have the fans replaced.  do you know if this is a particularly difficult procedure?  Something wierd that I've noticed is that if I have a video on for more than several minutes, the fans comes on, and also when I am on a Skype video conference for awhile.  Otherwise, the fan jst doen't come on as the intels heaten up to the point the the auto shut down kicks in...any advise?  This definitely interupts my work!  Thanks for your help and input thus far!
