Iphone 5 water damage recovery

Hello, I have a severely water damaged iphone 5. I forget to pull it out of my pocket before I wash my clothes. Therefore, this iphone 5 has been throughout washed by water in the washing machine. When I took it out of my pocket, it can not work or display anything.
Then I learned from youtube that by bathing iphone 5 in the 99% alcohol liquid, it could be recovered. I did it, and it does have great improvement.
Now, by connecting the power cable, it can display the apple logo for several seconds, and then the screen turns black for another several seconds, and then show apple logo again for several seconds, and then turns black... repeated. If I disconnect the power cable, the apple logo disappears immediately.
I have learned that, if iphone boot without battery, it could show such symptoms. So I was guessing, if the battery is dead. In order to verify this, I did another experiment. I pull the battery out of the iphone, and connect the phone to the power cable. Again, the apple logo showed and disappeared for several seconds. This convinced me that the battery is dead, and the mainboard is ok.
Before I move forward to purchasing a new battery, I would like to hear your suggestions. Do you think the battery is dead, or somewhere else is wrong. What other tests should I do?
Regards
Leo

    If you have a 4S and AppleCare+, it reduces your cost for a replacement to $49. Otherwise, no.

    Sorry, it appears you were scammed. The phone you have was replaced, either under warranty, or as an out of warranty replacement, & should have been returned to Apple. Unfortunately, some unscrupulous retailers will fix these phones, & then re-sell them. Your only option is to go back to whoever you purchased the phone from & confront them

  • I got my iphone 4 water damaged. It won't turn on. How do I go about getting it replaced and what are the costs?

    I got my iphone 4 water damaged. It will not turn on. I need to replace it ASAP. How should I do this? Costs?

    You should have put it in a bag of rice.  If you had, it probably would have turned out okay.

  • How can I get a refund for a storage upgrade? I've purchased the storage upgrade earlier today but realized it doesn't add icloud storage space.  I want to know how to get a refund without calling apple because my iPhone has water damage.

    Because of the water damage, my iPhone doesn't work.

    You can try this - don't know if it will work, but it's worth a shot:

  • Is it possible that my iphone shows water damage, but never seen water?

    I recently took my iphone to the apple store because it was freezing and stuff. i come to find out that my phone according to the guys from apple that my phone has water damage, my phone has never seen water. Please help.

    For future reference, Apple does make quick judgment calls based on these indicators, but if you refuse their claim, they have to do a more thorough inspection - where they open up the phone and check internal water indicators. The ones in the charging and headphone ports can be triggered by a speck of rain or a humid bathroom, and cannot be used to disqualify you from warranty coverage.
    If it has been water damaged, be honest with them - the internal indicators can disqualify warranty coverage, but more often than not if you're open and friendly with them, they'll help you out anyway.

  • Is there any way to save an iphone with water damage?

    Is there any way to save an iphone 5 with water damage? I know older phones you could some times use rice to dry it out.

    1, Place in ziplock bag with dry raw white rice for a week.
    2, When that doesn't work take to Apple and purchase out of warranty replacement.
    3, If you have already turned on the power the damage is done so just proceed to step 2.

  • IPhone 4 water damage - Replacement (how long will it take?)

    If i just completely broke my iphone 4 (won't even turn on) due to water damage I understand that I can get a $199 refurbished replacement.
    I was just wondering if anyone knew how long it would take to get the replacement phone. For example, if I went into the store gave them my old phone, would I be leaving with the replacement phone that day or would they have to send it to me in the mail?
    Thanks in advance.

    If you take the iPhone to an Apple Store, then unless they happen to be out of stock on replacement units, you'll walk out with one.
    Regards.

  • HT3302 my iphone has water damage what will it cost me to repair it?

    I have had a terrible week with sick babies and twisted ankels and to top it off my iphone was knocked off the couch into a cup of water:-( I know it has water damage and am just wondering what it will cost me to have it fixed or replaced?

    I'm presuming you do not have AppleCare+, which provides accidental damage coverage, on the iPhone. Apple does not repair iPhones, but will replace the entire iPhone for a flat fee; see the Repair Pricing section here:
    http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/service/faq/
    There are independent iPhone repair services that may be able to do a repair for less. Do a web search for "iPhone repair". Note, though, that if you elect to have the iPhone serviced by an unauthorized shop, all further warranty will be void.<
    Regards.

  • Iphone 4 water damage to the battery

    i dropped my iphone in water for less then 6 seconds and let it dry for about 48 hours. It turned back on and everything works fine, speakers and touch screen is all fantastic but now 2 days later of using it, it shuts off a lot randomly and i stupidly let the battery die and now it's not charging properly. I'm wondering if anyone knows if I just change the battery if it would fix my problem ?

    Take it in for diagnosis. No one here can fix water damage.

  • IPhone 4 water damage. Able to turn on, charge, connect to wifi. TMobile scoped it and indicated that it had slight water damage (slight bit of red). How can I honestly sell this on eBay if it seems to be functioning properly (as far as I can tell)?

    Hello,
    My iPhone 4 had been in water for about 3 seconds. It had powered on later on that day. I am able to charge it. It has since been wiped out because I have purchased an iPhone 5c from tMobile and transferred everything to my new phone. TMobile had scoped it and it indicated slight water damage (slight red mark). I would like to sell it on eBay--but don't really know how to list it. My guess is to list it under "For Parts Or Not Working" to be on the safe side. Any thoughts/ideas will be greatly appreciated.

    I would agree that you may want to list as not working. It is anybody's guess as to how long it will work even with minimal water damage. Water and electronics do not mix well.

  • HT3302 My iphone is water damaged but the liquid contact indicator hasnt been triggered, can my iphone be saved?

    My iPhone 5 got water in it but the liquid Contact Indicator hasnt been triggered and the iPhone wont turn on, can my iPhone still be saved?
    thanks

    the only purpose the liquid indicator is there is to show apple that it had water damage
    I have saved an ipod touch and an iphone 4 by putting them in an open bowl of uncooked rice right away and places it on a radiator or heated floor without trying to turn them on first
    left them there 48 hours and they came back to life it's hit or miss really

  • IPhone 5 water damage, will text messages come through?

    My iPhone 5 suffered water damage about a week ago. I spilled a drink on it and it was not responding to touch and wasnt reading my SIM card. I took the SIM card was taken out as soon as I realized it was wet. I did the rice thing for a few days. Currently my battery cant hold a charge long enough to power up past the Apple Logo screen.  I've since put the SIM back into the phone now that its all dry ( in order to avoid misplacing it). My question is, will the texts sent to my dead phone during this past week come through once my phone is repaired?

    Yes, but not until your check clears.

  • My iphone has water damage . what can i do ?

    my iphone 5s has water damage from a pool and my phone is connected with tmobile i would ike to kno what would be my best option because i dont have any money to replace my phone

    There is only one trick people sometimes succeed with, place the iPhone in a zip-lock bag with uncooked rice and close the bag and let it sit for at least a week to ten days.  If it starts up, fine...but after immersion in a pool it is not likely to do so.
    Out of warranty replacement of an iPhone 5s is $269 in the US.

  • Weird Story About iPhone 4S Water Damage

    Hi,
    I'm here to share mty story and also to find a solution to my problem.
    Recently, my iPhone 4S went through the wash.  I kept it in a bag of rice for a few days and it pretty much all dried up - there was some water on the screen, but that evaporated after another two days without rice.  Now here is the weird part.
    I normally have my iPhone charging from my PC, however after the water damage, my phone wouldn't charge. I thought the battery was broken. To be more specific, when the phone was plugged in, no vibration or charging icon would appear on the phone, but after about 8 hours of being plugged in, the battery might have gone up 5% or less.
    I was bored, so I plugged my iPhone into my MacBook Pro Retina and amazingly, the phone started charging like normal!
    Now before you say thing, ALL of the USB ports on my PC are working fine, and I used the same charging cable both times.
    Do you guys have ANY idea how this is happening?
    Thanks!

    Could it have anything to do with the usb 3 sending more power at all? It's a very odd story and im not sure of the exact answer. Maybe the mac gave it a good old bit of CPR
    Since charging it on the macbook pro, will it charge on the PC?
