Iphone 5s washed in the washing machine.

iphone 5s washed in the washing machine. is there any solution to repair or replacement by a new one by apple?

A friend dropped hers in Biscayne Bay a couple days ago.
It was visible in 4' of water but none of the guys had
cojones to get their faces wet and told her to forget it!
She was on 450 AT&T plan w/ unlimited data (grandmothered?)
paying 80 to 90/mo and 9 mo's left on contract. They offered
her (she was eligible) for Next, a $71 plan with unlimited calls
and texting, hotspot and 1GB data - a new iPhone 6 and
waived the $40 upgrade fee. I could find no fault with that
even after hearing warnings about the Next thing. Good luck!

  • HT201210 I have an iPhone that went through the wash...

    Can somebody help me with this? My iPhone 4s went through the washing machine (full cycle) and I popped the back off and stuck it in rice for a few days, now it turned on but its just showing that I need to plug it into iTunes. I did that and it was trying to restore it but it wasn't working. I tried multiple times, but nothing. What should I do? I need this phone, badly.

    Out of Warranty replacement for an iPhone 4S is $199 US, adjust
    for your location. There is no magic cure - washing your iPhone
    destroyed it, and it must now be replaced.

  • Is theree anything i can do for my daughter ipod touch, it got washed in the washing machine. she has had it for less than 1 year

    Hi, can I get an ipod touch fixed after it was washed in the washing machine?

    You might want to check your household contents insurance as well, as this might cover accidental damage, even if the credit cards don't.
    Also, if there were purchased items on the iPod, many policies now cover downloaded content as well (up to a limit of course).

  • HT1766 My iphone 4 went through the wash.

    My iphone 4 went through the wash.  I have an appointment this morning with apple but am suspect I may just be waisting my time.  Is my phone likely toast or do you think they will be able to help it somehow?

    They will offer a replacement at some cost to you.  What that cost is, depends on whether you have AppleCare+.
    Good job on the bowl of rice tactic.  If it powers on at all, use that opportunity to create a backup.  Do you sync to a portable computer?  Take it with you, so you can perform the backup/restore right there.  Otherwise, you can use an iCloud backup which can take anywhere between two minutes and 12-hours.  Again, that variance depends on what steps you have taken prior to the water damage incident.

    My iPhone accidentally got included in the wash and no longer works, can it be replaced under AppleCare?

    No.
    Like any warranty on any product, damage is not covered.
    Sorry.
    You can do this:

  • My IPhone 5 went through the washer machine

    I was doing the laundry washing my bed sheets and other linens but I didn't know my IPhone 5 was among the bundle of items. After around 5 minutes, I realized the greatest mistake of my life and found my IPhone in the washer, at the bottom of the load, submerged in water. I took it out quickly and stupidly decided to see if charging it would turn it on. Obviously, that didn't work. Now, my phone is in a box of rice...what other actions should I take? How long should I keep the phone in the box of rice? Should I change the rice consistently? Thanks so much for the help!

    There is nothing more you can do. I'd recommend leaving it there for 4-5 days at least. You don't need to keep changing the rice.
    I also hope that it continues to be the biggest mistake you ever make in your life.
    Best of luck.

  • Nano won't play using the battery, but ok on external power.  Got washed in the washing machine.

    I washed my nano with my jeans in the washing machine.  It still works when I use external power, but not on the battery.  I've charaged it, but it doesn't hold the charge.   Sugggestions?

    The battery is dead, permanantly pretty much.
    I had this happen to an old nano, 2nd gen or 3rd i forgot which it was.
    Anyway i went in a lake with it, after that it would no longer work on the battery, but would with external power.
    I spent a good while looking for a solution but couldn't find a fix or any suggestions other than replacing the ipod battery, or the ipod itself.
    I did keep it though and just kept it on a ipod player speaker device though. Maybe now theres a trick to fix it or something but i highly doubt it.

  • How can i save my iPhone that went through the wash?

    How can I save my iPhone after it went through the wash cycle?

    You can try.  Do no try to turn it on or charge it.
    Let it dry out for a week or so.

  • Help!  My iPhone just went through the washing machine!

    I am at a complete loss... I don't know what to do other than get a new iPhone - it won't turn on... I'm trying to dry it out...

    Whatever you do, do not power it on while it remains wet.
    It must dry out naturally which can take a while - days or weeks and that includes placing the iPhone in a bag of uncooked rice or in a bag of silica gel packets during that time. Even with that, if the iPhone was powered on while being submerged in water, as you know moisture and electronics don't mix especially when completely submerged.

  • OH NO... iPhone just got washed in the washing machine

    I know this is totally ridiculous, but is there any hope? If not, anything salvageable someone else might want? Does Apple have some sort of idiot clause that replaces your iphone if you do something this stupid? Ugh. Heartbroken.

    You may want to reread the part where I said there will be a fee involved. A warranty replacement is free. A user damaged phone involves a fee to get a replacement.
    Hi Tamara, you may want read Apple's policy on this. From the iPhone Service FAQs:
    +An iPhone is eligible for Out-of-Warranty Service if it is no longer eligible for warranty service and is determined by Apple to be repairable. If Apple determines that an iPhone is not repairable, for example, *_if it has failed due to liquid damage_* or catastrophic damage where the iPhone has been disassembled into multiple pieces *_then Out-of-Warranty Service is not available and the iPhone will be returned_*.+
    Just FYI. Apple _will not_ replace a water damaged iPhone. One may be able to purchase a brand new phone as a replacement, without the subsidy, obviously; Apple is now limiting the number of iPhones an individual may purchase, at least in the US, based on in-store signage.

  • Ipod washed in the washer machine

    I accidentally left my iPod in my pocket of my sweater and it got washed. Now its not working and its running hot. Can someone please help? could i do anything to fix it? or am i screwed?

    Turn it off. Put it someplace dry for several days to a week. Try charging it. See if it works. If it doesn't, well, sorry.
    Best of luck.

  • My Iphone 4 has been put in the washing machine by accident - help!

    My Iphone 4 has been put in the washing machine by accident - is there any way it can be saved!!

    Most likely it has suffered hardware damage in which case you'll need to take or send to Apple and pay for replacement, either under your AppleCare+ plan if you purchased the plan or by paying Apple's standard out-of-warranty replacement charge:

  • My iphone went into the washing machine?

    Help, my iphone went into the washing machine!

    Buy a new one.
    You can try letting it dry for a week or so and trying it again.

  • Can I sell an iPhone that has been through the washing machine?

    I have a 16 month old iPhone 5S that went through the washing machine. Screen busted and now it doesn't work. I was wondering if it was still sellable. Meaning, is there anyone out there that would buy such a phone and be able to use the parts?
    I'm not trying to dupe anyone, I'm going to be up front about the condition, but I wasn't sure if any part of the phone still had value in it's current state.
    Thanks for any help.

    Yes, you can sell it as "for parts or not working" (that's what eBay would have you list it as). But you'd probably only get $10-$20 for it. Also, although it's not working, do as much of this as you can: What to do before selling or giving away your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support.
