Had you not tried to repair it, you would have been eligibile for an out of warranty replacement for 199.00 USD or the equivalent in your country.
Sounds like you need to purchase a new phone.

I need to get photos off a water damaged iPhone 3GS. Can I take out the component that has the photos (is this the main board?) and put it into another of the same phone to retrieve the photos? Please help

I need to get photos off a water damaged iPhone 3GS. It spent time underwater, saltwater. I let it dry for a week, turned it on, the apple symbol came on, then it died. I need to retrieve my photos off it. Can I take out the component that has the photos (is this the main board?) and put it into another of the same phone to retrieve the photos? Please help

You're talking about the logic board. The two most likely things to get toasted, with water damage, are the battery(it shorts out), & the logic board. The worst water damage would be salt water. I'm afraid your logic board is toast.

Water damaged iphone 3gs

Last week I had my iphone with me while I was on a canoe trip. An hour into the trip, one of my friends flipped over the canoe and then my iphone got soaked. I followed everybody's advice and put it in a baggie of rice for a couple of days. Afterwards, I took it out and I opened it so that I can see if there was more damage. I saw some tarnish so I used a needle to scrape it off. ever since then the screen doesn't work but I can still call people thanks to the voice control but the LCD doesn't turn on. What's weird is that when the phone is completely dead, the screen will light up when I charge it. Any advice?

I had my iPhone in my pocket when I slipped and feel in a small waterfall. I was told about the rice, which I used about 2 hours later. First took out the sim card and dried it. Left it in the rice about 4 hours. The screen then lit up but no response. Then I plugged it in to dry up the humidity I saw on the screen. Another 4 hours. Then using the car air conditioner, I let the cool air continue to dry it. Stayed the same. Left it alone for a week while on vacation, then turned it on. To my surprise, turn on and everything worked as seamless as before it got wet. So I believe a combination of these things worked.

Hi guys. Water damaged Iphone 3GS, works great, can charge on the wall plug and the usb cable on the PC, but neither the computer nor Itunes can detect it. Also I can pass and receive phone calls, but I can't hear anything. What are my options?

I did try DFU, restarts, try other computers, etc. But nothing. Should i buy a new battery?
P.S: I'm sorry for my english ^^

Obvously your phone does not "work great" . It is damaged. Your option is to buy a new phone or get an out of warranty exchange at an Apple store.

If I'm already paying 149.99 to replace my water damaged Iphone 4 can I pay the Iphone 4s replacement price and get that instead? If No explain why please . Thank you

I have a water damaged Iphone 4 I have had for only 8 months. Today I went to the apple store to see how much a replacement was and the girl told me 149.99 for my iphone. What I was wondering is can i pay the replacment cost of an Iphone 4s and get that instead . I dont see the problem since my phone is broken anyways . But I would like to hearf if any one has tried the same thing.
Thanks

The only exception would be if there were no like models available. There was a short period when there were not sufficient supplies of the 3gs to effect warranty replacements. In that case, they replaced the 3GS with a 4 at no additional charge. But the warranty fine print specifies that they will repair or replace the device, at their discresion.

How much is the replacement price for a water damaged iPhone 5? Since iPhone 5 is no longer available

I know it was &229 before. But how much is the replacement price for a water damaged iPhone 5 now? Since iPhone 5 is no longer available and replaced by iPhone 5C and iPhone 5S. Could I pay a little more to replace an iPhone 5S?

I have a water damage iPhone 5s would like to change to new set with top up the money. But the staff told me it couldn't be done due to some of my minor parts are missing according to company policy. I need advise as I want to change it.

Hi all,
I have a water damage iPhone 5s was bring to service center to have new set change with top up the money. Well, the staff were told me that the phone can't be change due to some of minor parts are missing in the phone. He said this is due to company policy. I would like to check is that nothing can do with this missing minor parts? I really doubt the policy of the Apple as I was told as long as you bring to the service center, they will assists. As Apple is a well known brand top of the world, but the servicing is really make me so disappointed! I really doubt should I still continue to support the Apple product with helpless service!
Would like to take this opportunity to seek the professional advise in order to get my phone change back.
Appreciate very much!
Thanks.

Well, your service is handled by an Authorized Apple Service Center. If they refuse to handle the claim, that is well within their rights. Apple as well could void a claim under the same circumstances. I'm not saying that you did or did not modify the device, but you could try and talk to a supervisor there and make another request. You can also try and contact Apple by obtaining a number with this support document and describe your problem. http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57

Transferring data from water-damaged iphone to replacement iphone

Will/Can Apple download picture, apps, etc. from your water-damaged iphone onto the replacement iphone?

No... Apple cannot and will not.

How much does it usually cost to fix water damaged iphone?

Will Apple be able to fix my water damaged iPhone and how much will it cost? The screen is black and won't come back on. It's only 1 month old and I hate to ditch it and get a refurbished one through insurance claim. I'm not sure if I'm asking this question in the right forum, though! Thanks for your help!

Thank you for your quick answer! So they won't fix the one I have for sure? I will get a refurbished phone?

If I take my water damaged iPhone 4 into an apple store, will they be able to retrieve my pictures, video and contacts from it?? It currently won't turn on, wondering if there is a way for them to turn it on to do that?

No, they won't. If the phone won't turn on at all, the only way to even attempt to get information off the flash drive would be to turn the whole thing over to one of those data recovery firms like DriveSaver. You're looking at a couple of thousand dollars, at least.

Can my water damaged iPhone still be replaced under warranty if it had a problem before the water damage?

My iPhone 5 is still under a year old and it fell in the toilet for a few seconds about 3 days ago.
I know the apple warranty doesn't cover water damage. The liquid damage indicator in the SIM slot hasn't turned red.
Around March this year I noticed that some faint spots appeared in my photos taken by the rear camera and I've read that this type of damage could get you an instant replacement of your iPhone, I just never got around to taking it to the apple store. I have those photos saved so I can prove that this problem happened a while ago.
I've had my now water damaged iPhone in a rice bag for three days, however I have been charging it a little to turn it on every so often to check on it. It seems to be getting better, but the screen is still "fuzzy" and the touch is a bit "jumpy" and not as responsive as before. So I'm worried I might have damaged the screen or motherboard or something and I don't know what to do?
If I go into the apple store and tell them about the camera problem from before would they give me a new iPhone? or will they not accept it because of the water damage?
I really can't afford a new iPhone or a refurbished one even, so what's the best thing to do?
thanks in advance.

No. Your warranty is void due to the water damage
You can buy a replacement for $229

How much will it cost for an out of warranty repair for a water damaged iPhone 4S in the UK?

How much will it cost for an out of warranty repair for a water damaged iPhone 4S in the UK?
I got water in my iPhone 4S (not drenched as it was within a LifeStyle waterproof case).
I dried it out in a bowl of rice, but the phone no longer charges, will not allow wifi, cannot locate network.

You have to get a refurbished iPhone. As your phone is out of warranty, you will have to pay £139 at an Apple Store in order to get it > http://support.apple.com/kb/index?page=servicefaq&geo=United_States&product=ipho ne

Water damaged Iphone 3G

ok so my life is slowly coming to a end. My Iphone 3G that I have had for little over a year has gotten water damaged and is not working. I logged on a few days ago and set up an appointment with the nearest apple store for friday. I have looked at some of the water damage posting and tried the ziplock bag of rice which has seemed to get all the moisture out but it is still not responding. So my question is if I show up to the store and they can't fix it am I going to have to pay full price for a new phone since im out of my warranty or do they have out of plan exchange warranty. Any advice would help thanks

You're welcome.
Apple does not do major repairs for an iPhone at an Apple store. They may replace the glass screen at an Apple store, but that is it.
The out of warranty or not covered under the warranty "repair" price which pays for an exchange includes the same model. If a 3G 16GB Black, you will receive a 3G 16GB Black. You cannot pay extra and get a 3GS or an iPhone 4.
If you qualify for AT&T's upgrade or subsidized pricing with a new phone, you can purchase a new 3GS or an iPhone 4 at AT&T's subsidized price which will require signing a new two year contract.
There is no trade-in or exchange at an Apple or AT&T store when purchasing a new iPhone. If you don't qualify for AT&T's upgrade or discounted price or want a 3GS without signing a new two year contract, you can purchase a 3GS at AT&T's no-commitment or no-contract price, which is the full retail sales price and is $400 more than AT&T's subsidized or discounted price.

Water Damaged iPhone, Will Apple in Canada do 199 replacment?

I got my iPhone slightly water damaged, I've been reading around about the 199$ replacement for a refurbished one, can I do this in Ontario, Canada at my Apple store?

No.
Here is the Canadian oow:
"Out-of-Warranty Service
If you own an iPhone that is ineligible for warranty service but is eligible for Out-of-Warranty (OOW) Service, Apple will service your iPhone for the Out-of-Warranty Service fee listed below.
iPhone 4 Out-of-Warranty Service
16GB & 32GB $229
iPhone 3GS Out-of-Warranty Service
8GB, 16GB & 32GB $229
iPhone 3G Out-of-Warranty Service
8GB & 16GB $229
A $10.77 shipping fee will be added if you arrange service online or by calling Apple Technical Support. All fees are in Canadian dollars and exclude applicable taxes.
For example, an iPhone that has failed due to damage or liquid damage is eligible for Out-of-Warranty service. However, certain damage is ineligible for OOW service, including catastrophic damage, such as the device separating into multiple pieces, and inoperability caused by unauthorized modifications.
Apple reserves the right to determine whether or not your iPhone is eligible for Out-of-Warranty service. iPhones that are repaired or replaced have a 90-day limited hardware warranty or assume the remainder of your standard warranty or AppleCare Protection Plan for iPhone coverage, whichever is longer. Please see Apple's Repair Terms And Conditions for further details.
