my iphone fall in salt water.
is it repairable ?

Salt water is particularly bad and will undoubtedly cause a fair a bit of damage, you could try placing the iPhone in a zip lock bag of dried rice for approximately 5 days, resist the urge to turn to it back on. There is no guarantee and it maybe beyond saving but worth a try. Unfortunately water damage is not covered by any warranty, however, I would contact Apple and consider an out of warranty (OOW) replacement. I'm not sure where you are but here in the UK OOW replacements are about £149.

    My iPhone fall into the water! What can I do? It does not turn on

    Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support. You can get the phone replaced by paying an out of warranty fee.

  • Long story short, Iphone dunked in salt water

    OK, I'm stuck and don't know what to do....
    I'm search and rescue and were pulled a guy from the atlantic today (deceased).
    He was washing up on the beach in the wave action so I had to grab him and keep him from being pulled back out.
    Problem is, the wave pulled me in to about mid calf. My Iphone 4 was in my leg pocket.
    It got a dunk in salt water. It was in an otter box, but a couple drips came in the headphone port.
    Yup, it's dead. It started heating up so I pulled the battery after taking hte back off.
    After taking the phone apart a bit more, I could see where one of the connectors had burnt/corroded.
    A though drying and cleanin g and I put it back together.
    Now, nothing. Great, just great.
    I try to hook it up to Itunes and it recornizes the phone!
    Great I think, at least I can back up my apps, contacts, etc.
    I click sync and it stops at "back up". I have a passcode on the phone and it wants it entered.
    Well, no screen or touch screen because the phone is dead. Even tried tapping hte screen where teh numbers would be....no dice.
    How can I backup my phone in it's current state without entering the passcode on the phone?!?
    Please help, theres a lot of important stuff on my phone for my work.......
    Also, once I replace the phone can I get my backed up files on to the new phone?
    The original phone is a 32 gb Iphone 4 with the latest updates (5.1.1) but I'll probably have to go with the newer 4 S at a 300 dolalr purchase, a 279 dolalr buyout of my current contract and another 3 year contract....my service provider is nto willing to do anything to help me out either,
    Boy that great customer servie from Bell/Aliant for a customer of 13 yearsisn't it?
    Boooooo Bell/Aliant. I'm seriously considering a new provider now.....

    There is nothing you can do if the phone is non-functional, which it is. If your data are backed up then they can be restored to a new phone.
    Please Get the iPhone User Manual for iOS 5
    Just so you won't feel bad, no one is going to help you when a phone is submerged in salt water. You might as well have hit it with a sledge hammer.

    Sorry, iPhones exposed to Salt Water, are pretty much destroyed. Salt Water is one of the most corrosive elements there is.
    Make an appointment at any Apple store & they will do an out of warranty exchange for US $269.

  • HT1937 My iphone 4s fell in salt water and not working. What can i do?

    My iphone 4s fell in salt water and not working. What can i do? My location is Russia. Is it possible to send my device to apple-USA for repair?

    No, you would have to send it to someone you know in the USA and have them take it to any AppleStore and do an out-of-warranty replacement for $199 USD. Apple will not accept a shipment from your and the warranty is not international.
    You can take it to a 3rd party repair shop and have them open it and clean it. But you need to do it quicly saltwater will very quickly damage the components without that phone.

  • Iphone 3 dropped in salt water. Appears non-functional - won't turn on. Nothing on SIM card -- had that checked. Is there ANY way to retrieve the photos and contacts. There is no backup of them.

    leave the phone in rice for >24 hours to see if it will recover
    you can check itunes as well to see if there are backups there from the top of the screen hit edit (itunes on mac) > preferences > devices , and see if a backup is listed
    also check icloud.com to see if you had any of the information backed up there (only possible if have have a 3gs or higher)
    also there are data recovery companies that can recover data even from wrecked hard drives but its not cheap, if your interested in that I would say lookup a company called drivesavers, I believe they are authorized to work on even in warranty iphones
    good luck

  • So my iPhone 4s got wet with salt water while I was at the beach.

    I didn't turn it on after it got wet. I let it dry before I tried turning it on but it did not work. Is there a fix that I can do? Also, how can I open up my iphone? The screws on the bottom are shaped sorta like a flower.
    And please do not suggest that I send it to Apple. Thank You

    Do whatever you want then. It's probably never going to work again.
    amazing isn't it? "hey i messed up my phone, can you tell me what to do, except don't tell me what to do". i live 5 minutes from the beach and i'm there all the time but my iphone never gets near there. not just the salt water, it's practically impossible to keep from getting sand in it.

  • What do i do if salt water gets into my iphone

    I was using a waterproof case for my iphone 4 and somehow salt water still got into my iphone!!!
    What can i do to help my iphone get better.
    PLEASE help.
    Thank you xx

    Sorry, but salt water is one of the most corrosive things there are. Even if you successfully dry it out, it will continue to corrode. Take advantage of Apple's out of warranty replacement, cost is US $149 for an iPhone 4.

  • Hello, my iphon 5 shall fall to the water 4 days ago when it happened and wipe dry with a hairdryer. We introduced into a pot of rice for 2 days. Operates normally. to expect now, will be good or fail any function?

    I have seen MANY VIDEOS ON yotoube on how to handle the situation in the mobile water, it was a horror!
    and also heard that the starch can be harmful. if not scientifically correct to use rice, but anything goes despair

  • Minimal Salt Water Moisture - phone won't charge now... :(

    Hi there guys,
    I had my phone in a waterproof 'IN DEPTH' (more like resistant) case yesterday and brought it into the water yesterday. When I took the case off I noticed some moisture in the case and on my phone. Was only slight. The phone worked untill it ran dead but will not charge. Tried to charge but got an error message.
    Any Ideas on how to repair it or BIG QUESTION: Will Apple replace the phone for $199 aprox? Would be delighted if that is the case. It would soften the blow
    Thanks for any help you can give.
    Cheers,
    Pat

    If you got salt water inside your phone, you can kiss it goodbye. Salt water is one of the most corrosive things there are. Yes, your phone qualifies for an out of warranty replacement. Your profile says you have an iPhone 4. Cost for an iPhone 4 is US $149. US $199 if an iPhone 4S.
    Make an appointment at an Apple store.

  • My iphone fall in the sea and now it's not working how i can take off my photo and numbers ? and do u thing it will be work or what plz help me !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    my iphone fall in the sea and now it's not working how i can take off my photo and numbers ? and do u thing it will be work or what plz help me !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Sea water and electronics don't mix.  The salinity fries the internal circuitry of the phone. Your phone is toast.
    Certainly the user of any device which can be lost, stolen, or dropped in the sea would be smart enough to have had the data backed up, rght?  Your photos and numbers should be safely backed up on your computer or in the cloud.
    If you didn't do this, there's no way to recover those data now.  Backups are meant to be done BEFORE disaster strikes, not after.

  • Can i use some other company's locked iphone? or can i get official unlock from apple? cause i had iphone but it got water damage and don't want to pay crazy amount of money to get brand new...

    can i use some other company's locked iphone? or can i get official unlock from apple? cause i had iphone but it got water damage and don't want to pay crazy amount of money to get brand new...
    and i m getting locked phone from my family memeber for free. but he's with some other carrier. so can i get official unlock for that phone. please help me with this.

    Only the original cellular provider can authorize unlocking. You will need to contact them to determine if they offer unlocking and if the phone qualifies.

  • I dropped my iphone 5 in the water, its dead and when I try to charge it the apple logo comes and goes, thats my only sign of life, I've done many after market repairs but what I want to know is if I should replace the ligntning port or the battery

    I dropped my iphone 5 in the water, its dead and when I try to charge it the apple logo comes and goes, thats my only sign of life, I've done many after market repairs but what I want to know is if I should replace the ligntning port or the battery... or just buy a galaxy s5?

    If you dropped it in water, and then plugged it in, you may very well have destroyed the battery and/or the logic board.  Charging/plugging in to a power source is very damaging to wet electronic devices.  There is not much you can do but replace the entire iPhone...and since you did repairs yourself Apple will not do an out-of-warranty replacement.
    You can try replacing the battery, the lightning port is another issue, but I would not expect that iPhone to work again.

  • TS4062 my iphone 4 has mild water damage and will not sync with cable.I want to sync it over wifi to reload data I deleted during my troubleshooting, but I did not set up for wifi sync before the damage. Is there a way that this can be done now ?

    My iphone 4 has mild water damage. As a result, it will not sync with it's former XP computer with the cable. I deleted the phone's data in the troubleshooting process. I want to get it back by syncing over wifi, but I did not set up this capability before the damage occured.is there another way to initiate this feature ? I can tell that they are connecting in the cloud because an app I just downloaded on the phone is showing up in itunes on the computer.

    You don't need to access your e-mail account, just get into your Apple account and change the e-mail address. If you can't access your Apple account, then you have a bigger issue to contend with.
