My phone got wet and wont turn on. Is there anyway to get it repaired and get the pictures off of it?

What options do I have to save my phone?

Well, since you tried to turn it on while wet the chances of recovering anything have just been reduced. But try putting it in a plastic bag with uncooked rice for several days to draw the moisture out of it. You may then be able to restore it or turn it on. If you've been syncing regularly, backing up to your computer or iCloud, or have enabled Photo Stream your pictures are safe. If you have done none of these things they are lost unless the phone recovers after drying out.

    ronicr76,
    First it would be helpful if you post the exact model, year and OS version you have.
    > The LED light is on but only when the laptop is closed<
    So that light is the sleep indicator and tells us that the laptop is going to sleep when you close the lid. That would be normal behavior so the machine is still working. Possibly you're experiencing a backlight failure. With the machine supposedly "on" use a flashlight to carefully examine the screen. Do you see the desktop? Yes? machine is still running and something is wrong with the backlight.
    You should immediately backup your computer or at the very least pull vital files off. With the computer hooked to another Mac (The way this is done depends on the exact MacBook, E.g.FireWire 800 to FireWire 800.) Then you restart the computer and hold the "t" key down. This puts your MacBook into "target mode":

    Once your files are off try an SMC reset:
    Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
    Are you able to get the backlight back on by opening and closing the display? Yes? Broken backlight cable refer to qualified service place. Even if it doesn't come on and you can still see the desktop with a flashlight it is still probably the backlight. Could be the a backlight problem also.

    Did you made a iCloud/iTunes backup before it got wet?
    If you do, you can restore from backup. Otherwise it's gone.

  • My iphone 4 has a broken lock button and wont turn on even when plugged in. How do I get it to turn on?

    I had 67% power at 10 am but when I went to lunch at 1 my phone was dead. I tried plugging it into a power source but it still wont turn on, and as previously stated my lock button is broken. How do I turn it on?

    If that is not successful try the remaining items of:
    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on 
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Phone got wet now wont work

    Help, my i phone 4 got soaked in the rain and now will not start or respond in any way.

    You find it odd that an electronic device got soaked and now does not work?
    You should never try to turn on a wet device.
    Let it dry for a week or so.
    It is likely dead.

  • My iphone 3gs turned off and wont turn on or connect to itunes. its fully charged, and told me to reactivate it, but it wont connect. what do i do?

    what do i do?

    I have the same problem.  My iPhone 3GS was working just fine until I upgraded the OS to 5.0.1 a couple of days ago. When it complained about SIM card, I got that replaced and still the problem persisted. I tried to activate the Phone using my Wi-Fi and that also did not work.  The phone has become unusable now.
    When I contacted the CSR, he says that my phone already would have broken and that is why the upgrade did not go through which is not a fact after seeing these postings.
    Apple, instead of finding a solution to this, recommend buying another equipment.  Is there a way to revert back to older OS?

  • My Ipod shut off and wont turn back on even when its been fully charged, and it was working perfectly fine 4 hours ago. What do I do?

    My wife's iphone4 turned off spontaneously after she sent a message and it had 95% battery. Nothing we did turned the phone back on. After searching the net and looking at this forum I held the sleep/wake button and the home button together and it turned on... Amazing. Thanks to all those who have posted. Is this a recurrent issue though? Would definitely like to know if this is a handset- and/or OS-specific problem?

    Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
    Try leaving it on the charger yet doing nothing with it for at least 2 hours. Then try to power it on.
    Good luck and let us know!

    my iphone just fell on the floor and wont turn on. what do i do?

    Try resetting it:
    Press the Sleep/Wake button & Home button at the same time, keep pressing until you(hopefully) see the Apple logo, then release.
    If that doesn't work, it's a trip to an Apple store...take US $199 if you don't have AppleCare plus.

  • HT1414 my ipod got wet and wont turn on

    Please help, my Ipod went through the washer and wont turn on now. I have dried it out in a bag of rice for 3 weeks.

    If your iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad is Broken
    Apple does not fix iDevices. Instead, they exchange yours for a refurbished or new replacement depending upon the age of your device and refurbished inventories. On rare occasions when there are no longer refurbished units for your older model, they may replace it with the next newer model.
    ATTN: Beginning July 2013 Apple Stores are now equipped to do screen repairs/replacements in-house on iPhone 5 and 5C. In some cases while you wait. According to Apple this is the beginning of equipping Apple Stores with the resources needed to do most repairs for iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches that would not require major replacements. Later in the year the services may be extended as Apple Stores become equipped and staffed with the proper repair expertise. So, if you need a screen repaired or a broken screen replaced or have your stuck Home button fixed, call your local Apple Store to see if they are now doing these in-house.
    You may take your device to an Apple retailer for help or you may call Customer Service and arrange to send your device to Apple:
    Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.
    To contact product and tech support: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers.
    You will find respective repair costs in the appropriate link:
    iPod Service Support and Costs
    iPhone Service Support and Costs
    iPad Service Support and Costs
    There are third-party firms that do repairs on iDevices, and there are places where you can order parts to DIY if you feel up to the task:
    1. iResq or Google for others.
    2. Buy and replace screen yourself: iFixit
