Iphone get wet

my iphone get wet and i have out it on a sealed plastic with silica gel. after 2 days i have restore it and start working but hte camera light is always on. what should i do??

In US or Canada, I know they have a policy that if you are within your warranty, they will replace you with a refurbished phone but you have to pay $149 for 16GB and $249 for 32GB.
I had mine replaced 4 months after I bought my iphone4 32GB.  Book an appointment to see Genius Bar.

  • What do you do when your iphone get wet

    what do u do when ur iphone get wet pls help

    You can try putting it a bag of uncooked rice or silica gel pellets for a few days and see if after that time it works properly. If not, then you'll have to pay to have the iPhone replaced.
    Good luck and regards.

  • What to do if Iphone gets wet

    What should you do if your Iphone gets wet

    Assuming you've already panicked....no worries, my 4S fell into water in S. Africa, fully immersed whilst music playing. I did this, & 4 or so hrs later had a Lazarus iPhone, fully functional: note, this worked for me, may not be "approved solution", but I'm using same phone now since Feb '12:
    1) power off immediately;
    2) Hand dry w/non-lint cloth thoroughly, no blow-dryers, etc.
    3) laid iPhone FACE DOWN, unplugged, on clean dry cloth on my car seat, where it was warm but not baking. Was told only do this for an hour or so, but after 2+ hours in a winery, the comatose iPhone 4S sat in car seat, quite warm.
    4) waited another 2 hours or so, plugged into power supply.....miraculously (I thought), it powered up, a bit slowly but it did boot up.
    5) once I saw power up, I turned power off again, let alone overnight, woke up in morning and powered on: everything intact, no lost info, same as before drowning.
    Whether immersion in rice or dry heat, water evaporation Asap seems the thing. And I think not being too anxious to power up too early.
    Good luck!

  • What exactly breaks when your iPhone gets wet?

    My wife dropped her phone in water and it appears to turn on. I reset it the screen is completely white, but when i slide my finger across the bottom I hear it unlock. Does this just call for the screen to be replaced?

    Best wishes on getting the phone back to normal. I too dropped my 16GB brand new iPhone into water within a week and a half of buying it. I realized immediately that it would void the warranty and figured I'd need to spend the full price to get a new one.
    My phone never turned itself off when I immersed it. I quickly shook it to get all the water I could out of it, then gently blew some compressed air in the openings. I turned the phone off and put it in a ziplock bag of rice overnight. I wrapped the phone in a tissue to ensure rice didn't get in the openings.
    The next morning I turned the phone on and nearly everything was working but I kept getting an error that I was trying to use a device that wasn't compatible with the iPhone. I had a hard time getting anything to play in the iPod function. I fiddled with putting the headset in and out hoping the maybe the headphone jack was wet and I could dry it out. The iPod and youtube started working fine with the headset in but when I took it out I could get no sounds out of the phone (like some people report here when their phone acts like their headset is still in). All along my screen was fine and I could make and receive calls. I kept getting the same error message.
    I turned it off again and put it back in the drawer with rice. I couldn't sleep I was so upset about having done this. I got up in the early morning and scheduled an appointment online with a Genius for that afternoon. At that point I took my phone out of the drawer and turned it on and everything worked fine!
    I kept my appointment with the Genius and asked him if there was anything I should do and if it's likely it would keep working fine. He told me to be prepared for it to fail by ensuring everything was backed up, but that it may be fine. He also mentioned that he had never seen a phone that was in water look like mine...it looks just like it did out of the box. It's been about 3 weeks and everything is working great.
    I hope you have the same success! I have never dropped a phone in water before and was horrified when this one flew out of my hand and into the open toilet!
    I love my new phone. I'm actually a long time AT&T customer and had a previous 3G phone that didn't have nearly the functions of this one.

  • My iPhone 4S get wet

    My iPhone 4S get wet. Already replace the battery, I can turn on , but the screen coming black with some white line. I can touch the screen and moved to the next page.I can access to some app like flashlight  and work , but I can see nothing in the screen.Any help

    Obviously more was damaged due to the iPhone getting wet than just the battery. There is no way someone can determine what else is damaged remotely. If you replaced the battery yourself or if this was done by a 3rd party, additional damage may have occured when doing so.

  • My iphone 4s get wet in water yesterday and now back flash light get stuck and camera also will not open what happen to it ? will you please help me ?

    my iphone get wet in water yesterday and back camera flash light get stucked, how can i recover it ? please help me ?

    What happened is it got wet.  Water and electronics don't go well together.  You need to switch it off and bury it in bag of dry rice for a week at least.  This may or may not work - but continuing to try to use it in its current state will kill it for sure.  You can enquire at an Apple store about out-of-warranty replacement, depending on where you are.

  • My iphone got wet how do i get it to work again- it won't turn on.

    Got caught in a rainstorm and my iPhone got wet-- how do I get it to turn on again...it won't turn on?  I've already tried putting it in rice for 2 days and nothing.  Any other suggestions?

    Let it dry for a week or so.
    If you have tried to charge it or turn it on, then the damage is likely done

  • HT201210 My iPhone became wet at the beach.  I put it in rice for 4 days.  When I connect to itunes, it says the phone must be restored.  It starts and then gives either the error 2001, or 2006.  What exactly does this mean, and is it worth getting repair

    Water damage isn't covered by warranty, but you could always purchase a refurbished device from Apple.

    You can try and put it in a bag of uncooked rice for 5 days or so, but don't get your hopes up. If that doesn't work, you get an out of warranty replacement or buy a new phone.

  • My iPhone got wet in the rain. Everything works fine. But The flash stays on even when no battery. Any help?

    A liquid damaged iPhone 4 can be replaced by Apple for $149.
    By the way... and electrical short can be dangerous, creating a fire or explosion hazard. You can see the short that's affecting the flash... It's the short you may not see that's affecting the battery and/or charging circuitry that's the problem.
    Get it replaced.

  • HT4061 My iphone got wet, shut itself down, and won't restart. What do I do now?

    My iphone got wet, shut itself down, and won't restart. What do I do now?

    Put it in a bag of rice or silica gel. Leave it there for a week. Do NOT attempt to power it on or charge it before the end of the week.
    If it still doesn't work after that, make an appointment at the genius bar and get the phone replaced or buy a new one.

  • Weird Stripes After Getting Wet?

    My iPhone got wet while it was in my pocket in the rain today. The screen has some strange stripes on it now. They run vertical and horizontal but I can still see through them. Is there anything I can do to get these out? Thanks.

    Sounds like the moisture damage the hardware in your iPhone.
    Call the local Apple Store and make an appointment to take it so that they can check it out.
    Be prepared to purchase an out of warranty replacement for it

  • Just downloaded iTunes to new dell laptop, tried syncing my iPhone get an error message:  "this iPhone cannot be used because the Apple Mobile Device service is not started".  What does this mean? I have had this phone for over a year..

    Just downloaded iTunes to new dell laptop, tried syncing my iPhone get an error message:  "this iPhone cannot be used because the Apple Mobile Device service is not started".  What is the issue, had this phone over a year??

    I had this problem before. I like to disable extra services to speed up my computer and I disabled the Apple Mobile Device service and had to re-enable this.
    You can do that by going Control Panel>Administrative Tools>Services. Once you have gone to the services window, look for Apple Mobile Device and right-click. Select "Properties". There should be some information about the service as well as the label "Startup Type" with a drop-down menu beside it. If it says "disabled", that is your problem; Change the selection to anything except disabled (Automatic is easier and ensures that you can sync as soon as itunes opens).
    If this doesn't work, I would look into your anti-virus' settings. Good Luck!

    Anyone having problem with iphone getting a not delivered message after sending pic and it really is getting delivered to recipient.

    Same problem here with and I've done everything shy of a total reset which I also find unacceptable. This problem exists on all iMessage platforms (iPhone, iPad, and Mac) so I don't see how restoring my iPhone would help the problem.
