Iphone5 and washing machines

I put my iphone5 in the washing machine. Having dried it out it still does everything it should but will not accept charge so will be not long for this world without a fix.
Any suggestions?

How did you dry it?
Do not turn it on.  Leave it in rice or some other desiccant for DAYS - 5 days to be safe.
A hearing aid dryer should work well if you know someone who has one.
Then and only Then try turning it on.
If it doesn't work it is time to pay the piper for an out of warranty replacement.

  • Nano and washing machine --help!

    So, my daughter sent her ipod nano through the washing machine and it now filled with water. Obviously this is something Apple won't deal with directly, so I appeal to cyberspace. Any ideas on what can be done? How do I open the ipod to dry it out? My 1 year warrantee being voided at this point is not much of a concern. Any and all ideas are welcome. Thanks.

    just let it sit for about 2 to 3 weeks it may dry out but it is probably damaged beyond use

  • Desperate to recover photos from an iPhone5 that has been through the washing machine

    My iPhone5 has gone through the washing machine and I am desperate to recover my photos. Am I better off leaving it in rice for a week and trying it, or immediately taking it to my service provider to try and get it repaired?

    Thanks for your responses. It wasn’t in a waterproof case, just a rubber one. I have insurance, so I am not concerned about my handset, just the photos. It is currently sitting in a container of rice, and I was thinking about taking it apart and putting it back in the rice opened up to try and better dry it out? Then I was thinking of leaving it for a few days and eventually connecting it to my Mac to power it up and hopefully quickly access my photos - what do you think? I am just concerned if I take it straight to my service provider before at least trying this, the data is as good as gone - going off all of the insurance claim disclaimers regarding loss of data during repair!
    Thanks in advance!

  • My iPod 5th gen touch went through the washing machine. It still works but it has water in the screen and I can't get it out. I put it in uncooked rice for a day but it didn't work. And suggestions??

    My iPod 5th gen touch went through the washing machine. It still works but it has water in the screen and I can't get it out. I put it in uncooked rice for a day but it didn't work. And suggestions??

    Leave it in the rice for at least a day and change the rice every other day or so. The rice and iPod should be in a sealed container.
    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $149. They do not fix yours.

  • Ipod And The Washing Machine.

    Hi everyone,
    This is my first time so here goes. On saturday my stupid husband has put my much loved, brand new ipod nano 2gb through the washing machine as he didn't check my coat pockets. It was ok to start with and was still working yesturday (Sunday). However I have gone to put it on this morning and it won't switch on. I have put it on charge but it is putting up the apple symbol then flashing the battery sign up and the going dead again. It is repeating this sequens every few seconds. Is there any way to either get the back off or to get it fixed?????????

    Hmm.. I would have taken the back off right away (when it was still wet). I have fixed many battery operated items by blowdrying it dry right away.. and I have seen (in discussions) someone who laundered their ipod and managed to get it working again by letting it airdry (with the back off). Your ipod may still have some water in it which is causing it to malfunction... although the poster above worried me slightly with the exploding story.
    Get some goggles on, and go for it, I say. It's either that or an ipod funeral. Good thing my ipod's prepared for the occasion... already dressed in black.

  • Ipod went through washing machine and now backlight doesnt work

    my idpod went through the washing machine, and now the light doesn't come on, but everything else still works. is there any way to fix it or am i out of luck?

    How long did you let it dry before trying to use it? Put it in a cool, dry place for 5 - 7 days and see if it works after that time frame.
    If that doesn't work you can try a 3rd party repair site such as http://www.iresq.com or Google for more.

  • Is there any hope for a Nano 6th gen that went through the washing machine?

    Is there any hope for a Nano 6th Gen that went through the washing machine?  All of the devices contents are showing up in iTunes when connected but the device itself is not working.

    Hello kpratta,
    There is some hope. I have heard of someone putting the ipod in a bag of dry rice and putting the bag in a dark place for a 4-5 days. After that they used this:
    www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/
    This has the best chance. The rice absorbs any liquid in the ipod.
    Hope this helps.

  • IPhone + Washing Machine = constant reboot??

    Hey Guys,
    As the title suggests, my iphone had a run in with the washing machine last week... it was in there for 10 or so minutes before i noticed and retrieved it... i dried it using the rice + blow dryer method for 4-5 days and then tried turning it on... much to my surprise and pleasure the oh so familiar apple logo appeared. Unfortunately it didn't go away, and then the little cog wheel started spinning and eventually the iphone turned off, but then instantly turned back on again... this goes on for as long as its got power... each incident is of different times (ie, could be 2-10-30 mins before rebooting). i tried restoring it, twice, but both times, after its rebooting to finish, the cycle starts over again. the first time it was very difficult to get itunes to recognising it, the second, i put it into DFU mode and itunes did its usual thing - mind you the screen was blank while in DFU, but did show the usual restore things.
    Any ideas??
    I may be going out on a limb here =P but im assuming that 'water damage' isn't covered in the standard warranty. And if so, what are my options if the iphone is dead, considering im not likely going to fork out AU$800 for a new one to replace it.
    I live in Australia and on an Optus 24 month plan with about 19 months left (if that makes any difference.)
    Please Help,
    And thanks in advance,
    Farley

    Thanks for your help...
    I Sent it off to Apple for 'repair' using the OOW service you mentioned. Still waiting for it to be returned/replaced however i would just like to point out how efficient and easy it was with them. Just called up and within minutes i was ready to send it off for 'identification of problem'.
    If anyone happens to fall into a similar situation (and i hope that you don't) its worth considering when all else fails. Compared with the price of a new iphone, this isn't too much to ask for to bring your 'baby' (sorry, i count help myself) back to life.

  • 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.

  • Labview washing machine simulator help

    Hi, i'm making a washing machine simulator (a really simple one) basically depending on the load size (big or small or medium) the front panel will display how many gallons of water used as well as the water temperature depending on the load type (delicates, whites, colors).  Additionally here is a timer that runs for a certain amount of time depending on the load size, once the wash cycle is completed, the dry cycle begins.  I have completed the code but it's not working and i don't understand why, the VI shows no errors and i can't see the problem.  I am fairly new at labview, please help
    Solved!

  • Ipod nano in a washing machine

    is there any hope for a 6th generation nano that went through the wash machine??

             Oh boy. Check this article (check the rice method, i've heard it works [sometimes]) for help! If doesn't work, then try rapping the ipod in a towel and letting it set in sun all day!

  • Screwed up and washed my shuffle

    Long story short... my 2nd gen shuffle ended up in the washing machine. Now it won't charge, its not recognized by iTunes, just plain don't work. Is there anyway to save it or am I SOL? I guess I can always buy a new one and learn from my lesson, but I'd like to at least try.

    I just found my daughter's Ipod in the dryer. I quesss that's what I get for trying to do her laundry. Thinking I would need to buy her a new one to replace the one she had just got at Christmas. I thought "why not try to charge it" I plugged it in to my Notebook. The power charging light came on. I thought I couldn't be this lucky, but thank goodness the Ipod shuffle is on sale right now. (which I'm thinking that they are about to come out with a newer one, so trying to sell off the old?), So I decided to unplug it from the charger and try it. YES it works just fine, and it has a nice Fresh dryer sheet smell to it now. I had to untangle the headphones but they also work. I just wanted to let you know don't give up. I don't know if I would recommened puting your shuffle into the dryer, but at least some where warm to dry out. I'm impressed with Apple, and will continue to suggest to my friends to buy Ipod before other MP3s.

  • 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:

  • Worst customer service for delivery of washing machine

    We ordered a washing machine online on Sunday that was to be delivered today (Tuesday). when the delivery guys showed up they said they could not install our new washer because we didn't buy a new pedestal.  THey would not put on our existing pedastal because they were a "contractor" of Best Buy, but they said to call a store and schedule a service technician to come out to install it for us and assured us that would work.  My wife spent 2 hours on the phone with various team members of Geek Squad and then I took over as they needed to talk to the "purchaser."  I was on the phone with them for another hour and after a lot of back and forth I finally got a Geek Squad 4th level support person (Tony P)  that said he talked to the warehouse and that if I called back after 4 or 5 p.m. that they would schedule someone to come out.  I called back at that time and I was transferred to the warehouse.  The gentleman I talked to at the warehouse said there was no way that anyone would come out. I told him that I am getting the run around and I am not satisfied and someone needs to get this elevated.  He was very rude and did nothing...I called back to the Geek Squad line to try and reach Tony P, but he was gone for the day so someone else started to help me....she called the warehouse and the warehouse personnel were rude to her too.  she was going to file an internal complaint.  I apologize for the long message, but we are most likely going to return the washing machine and not buy anything from Best Buy again. 

    Hello mdog,
    I apologize for the apparent tardiness of my reply. We do our best to address our customers' concerns as promptly as possible and in the order in which they are received. 
    I was disheartened to read about your washer delivery experience. and your subsequent numerous attempts to have your installation completed. In similar circumstances, I know that that I would be very aggravated as well. Were you given an explanation by the warehouse staff or the delivery team as to why your new washer could not be placed on the existing pedestal?
    While I understand why you might have chosen to do so, I was very dismayed to read that you have elected to make your purchase through a competitor and return the washer you've already received. It is my hope that you will one day give Best Buy another chance to win you over.
    Please know that I'm very grateful that you took the time to share your concerns with us. 
    Sincerely,
    John|Social Media Specialist | Best Buy® Corporate
