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.

  • HT4061 my phone is locked and the passcode will not work

    does anyone know how to unlock my iphone?

    If you have a passcode to the screen lock that you've forgotten and your device is running iOS 6 or earlier, restore the device from the computer to which the device is synced. For information and instructions, see:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
    If that will not work, you'll need to put the device into Recovery Mode and then try the Restore again:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
    If that still doesn't work, as a last resort try DFU mode:
    http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=1034
    If your device is running iOS 7 and you set up Find My iPhone (iPad/iPod),  however, then it has the Activation Lock on it and you'll have to erase the device through iCloud first:

    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.

  • I just took my new MacBook Pro out of the box and the screen will not work. Display is, black no life to the screen at all

    So I just ordered my first Mac book Pro. I took it out of the box and hit the power button to do the start up and the screen will not work at all. I shut the computer off and back on again. I plugged it in and unplugged it. I've done everything I can think of and the screen still stays blank with no life at all

    Is the battery charged? Press the little button on the left edge, near the front. If no green dots, no charge.
    Does it charge? When you connect the MagSafe charger, does the pilot light on the plug light up?
    Does it actually start? Should sound a chime after you press the power button on the top/right corner. If it chimes, does the Caps Lock pilot light when you press it?
    If it starts and Caps Lock does flash on and off, have you tried pressing the screen brightness control for awhile? F2 turns up the brightness, may be turned fully down.

  • I have an ipad 1 16gb, wifi and the wifi will not work.  Under settings, it says "no wifi".  Has anyone else had this problem?

    I have an ipad1 and the wifi will not work.  It is a wifi only model which makes it more interesting.  When I go into settings, it says "no wifi".  Does anyone have a solution to my problem?  It is much appreciated.

    If you are positive there is a good Wi-Fi signal in the area of the iPad I would first reboot your iPad. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the iPad restart. See if that fixes your problem.
    If that doesn't work, I would turn off your iPad and then restart your Wi-Fi router. Unplug the router for 30 seconds then plug it back in. Once the router had completed its restart process and established a link to the Internet then turn your iPad on. Make sure Settings > Wi-Fi> On.

    Most of your purchases content can be downloaded again via the Purchased tabs in each of the store. I realize that this will be a problem for the iTunes Store on the iPad, but that has nothing to do with apps, since apps are in the App Store.
    If you backed up synced with iTunes before you restored the iPad, your content should be in iTunes on your Mac and you should be able to sync it back again.

  • I dropped my phone in water, now the camera doesn't work, help!

    I dropped my phone in a bucket of water. I dried it out in a tub of rice as told to do on the Internet , since then the camera or video won't work. I have rebooted to factory settings but nothing. Is there anything I can do?

    No, since more than likely this was caused by water damage.
    Apple offers an out of warranty or not covered by the warranty "repair" price that pays for an exchange at a significantly reduced price off the full retail sales price.

  • Ipad wont turn on and the reset will not work. when i connect to computer, it is not recognized. what next?

    my ipad will not turn on and I have tried the reset process and I have tried to connect it to my computer but it is not recognized by the computer. Not sure what else could resolve this issue and get my ipad to reset?

    Did you try to get it working on another computer, see if that does it. BTW have you re-charged it using the 10w power adaptor, it might be out of power.
    there's also a possibility that it may be a battery issue. contact apple if problems persist.
    - Good Luck
