Water damage on screen

I spilled water on the screen and the LCD is damaged and I don't know how to fix it. Will it dry on its own?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Accidental damages are not covered by AppleCare, so you have to pay for the repair.
Liquid can damage the whole MacBook, and in the case of the MacBook Pro with Retina display, where everything is soldered except the flash storage, it's even worse. The repair will be expensive, so you may consider the option of getting a new MacBook instead of repairing the one you have now, because after the repair, if it can be repaired, it will be like a new MacBook.

IPhone5 water damage and screen smash

Yesterday I was at a theme park and I dropped my iphone5 and it was smashed all over the screen (i know i'm an idiot) but this happens frequently now so i just make do with it and eventually get a new one. Then I went on a water ride and my iphone5 somehow became water damaged. It just says to connect to itunes but when I do it says to restore the iphone5. When I try to restore it an error occours. Is there any way I can make my iphone work again? Or do I just get a replacement? And also, I havent synced my iphone since about two weeks ago, and i've taken quite a lot of photos, I'm guessing they will be wiped from my phone as well? I'm pretty sure the speaker on my phone is broke but I just want my phone for messages, photos etc

Make an appointment at the genius bar and get it replaced. $229. You're going to lose anything that wasn't already backed up.

IPhone 5 - Water Damage and Screen Damage

I dropped my iPhone 5 December 2013, managed to deal with it upto the end of January when I went to a party and accidentally knocked it into a drunken friends sick. I dried phone best I could as I had no rice nearby so just was a towel I used. The phone turned on and off okay however was tacky with buttons on the screen, it was bad calibration. The phone worked for 2 weeks then started having bad calibration issues again and then I got lines down the screen multicoloured so by this I'm assuming that it's water damaged. The screen is completely smashed and chipped on the rear corner and front corner. I'm just wondering if anyone knows a price it would be for a replacement at the Genius Bar (Liverpool, UK). All I get on emails, chat and phone is we'll look when you come in and after inspection the most it can be is £209 which I'm hoping I don't have to pay. I'm needing an approximate price not the maximum they charge for any inspection. Does anyone know the criteria for it to ever be £209 or anybody had this experience before? I have no idea what to take in with me money wise and no idea what they will have to do. Also regarding the SIM card, can that get damaged in anyway? And will my contract company (O2) send me a new one for free of charge if it's rusty broke or whatever?
My iPhone 5 is in warranty, I dropped it last year and paid £170 to get a replacement but apparently prices have changed. My warranty runs out the end of April 2014/beginning of June 2014.
Thank you

"If Apple allows me to purchase a phone for the replacement fee, would they allow me to purchase the iphone 5 at the replacement fee price? "
No.
"Or would I only be allowed to purchase the iphone 4s because it was the model I am replacing?"
Yes.

Water damaged iPad; screen came on, charged 2%, now all is black

My daughter poured water into the plastic wrapping my brand new iPad came with (surprise! she can reach the water dispenser on the refridgerator now). I let it sit in a bag of rice for 7 days. The charging icon came on after about 10 minutes, then nothing. Black screen. Kept it plugged in anyway. Nothing. Took it into Apple, the guy checked for arcing, and saw none of that (he didn't open it, just used a flashlight to peer inside. It's now two weeks later. I have an appointment to take it in to Apple tonight but thought I'd try again. Plugged it into my PC at work, and got the charging icon. Let it sit 20 minutes. Got a 2% charge and the screen came on, just like new! Pressed the home button again 5 minutes later, nothing. Black screen. Has this happened to anyone else and come out with a happy ending? Any advice? This is my last ditch attempt before I shell out the $299 for a replacement. Thanks for any help!! This iPad was a Christmas gift from my mom, so I need to have it working or a new iPad by the time she comes over tonight . She bought it brand new Christmas 2013, so it's the latest model. I think it's an Air.

Sounds like it's damaged.

Iphone 6 water damage flickering screen

My iphone 6 vibrated off the edge of my counter when someone called me and into the dogs water dish on the ground below. It sat in the water for 45 minutes, until I noticed it. It was still turned on so I shut down all the apps and i turned it off immediately. Wiped down and took it to my nearest apple store where they took the phone apart and said it was covered in liquid and tried to sell me a new iphone6 for $299. I came home and let it sit in a bag of rice for 48 hours. I just took it out of the rice now and turned it on. To my joy everything seemed to be working as usual but the screen seemed to have a haze and cloudy appearance. Up pops my home screen and it is very hard to see the screen and it is flickering and flashing. I freaked out and turned the phone off and put it right back in the rice. Does anyone have any helpful tips on what I could possibly do if I let the phone sit in the rice for another 48 hours and I turn the phone on, and it still is flickering screen? Is the screen able to be fixed? Everything seemed to be working beautifully except that flashing, hazy screen. Any help/tips are GREATLY appreciated. Thank you in advance

Forty-eight hours is not really enough time to let it dry properly. Turning it own might have done more damage. It should be noted that, even if you leave the phone in rice for a week, there's no guarantee that it will ever work properly again. At this point, your best bet is to go back and get the out-of-warranty replacement.

My ipod nano 6th gen doesn't start. When I plug it, only blink the apple logo on the screen. I try to reset it holding by 8 seconds start button and volume down and doesn't work. My Ipod doesn't have any shock or water damage. How can I do?

If my iphone screen is cracked but it also has water damage will it be covered under applecare?

If my Iphone screen is cracked but it also has water damage will it be covered under applecare since i need the screen replaced?

Neither of those is covered by the standard one-year warranty.
If you purchased AppleCare+, you may be able to get it replaced for $79+ tax; otherwise, you will most likely be paying $269+ tax to replace the phone.

My Ipod touch's touch screen is disabled following water damage. How can I circumvent my passcode to transfer my recent iTunes purchases to my computer?

The touch screen on my iPod touch doesn't work anymore following water damage. I can't connect to iTunes on my computer because the iPod is passcode protected. How can I transfer a few albums that I recently bought from the iPod to my computer?

Use 3rd party software like:

For items purchased (including apps) from iTunes:

Black screen with white circle every 5 seconds, after water damage

my ipod touch (3gen.32gb) had water damage 3 days ago. now as it dried, i connected it to itunes and restored, but it keeps showing black screen with white circle every 3-5 seconds. could this be a software problem or is it all because of water? i put it in recovery mode, and restored again, but it did not help, is there anything i could do to stop it ? thanks

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- 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 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.

I have a totally unresponsive touch screen had been working fine, no water damage either

I suddenly have an unresponsive touch screen, had been working fine and no water damage or damage to the screen. Have turned on and off etc. Can any one help??

Sounds like a problem with the router installation/configuration (likely) or a DOA router (very unlikely).
Visit the forums for the router manufacturer (i.e., linksys, d-link, etc.) and ask for assistance there. There is probably a link to help listed in the router manual.

Water damaged white/dark grey screen

I have an iPod nano 4th gen. and its taken quite a bit of damage. Its screen is now white and fades to dark grey and I cant see much, but it would still play my music, videos, etc. It also has a slightly splotchy screen, which is most likely water damage. It was working fine before I had dropped it and left it outside for a couple hours. I tried resetting it to factory settings, and it didn't do anything. Is there any way I can fix this? Its an older ipod, about 7 years, way out of the warranty. Id prefer not to buy a new one, so any help will be appreciated.

Sorry, there's nothing can be done.
Your nano is corroding slowly but surely.

My daughter dropped her ipod touch 4g into water. We bought a new one 3 days ago which she has dropped. The screen has smashed! Can we use the good screen from the water damaged ipod to replace the broken one

Can anyone help please? My daughter dropped her ipon touch 4g into water which resulted in it being ruined. We bought her a new one three days ago and she has just dropped it and cracked the screen!!!
Cany anybody tell me, are we able to use the perfect screen from the water damaged ipod to replace the broken one on the new ipod or, would the water damage have ruined the screen too?
Thanks in advance

Your very best option would be to take it to an apple store and exchange it for an alike model which can be a refurbished, or new unit. The repair/exchange price is about 99USD. http://support.apple.com/kb/index?page=servicefaq&viewlocale=en_US&geo=United_St ates&product=ipod&select=REPAIR_PRICING

HT4623 hi i have an iphone 4s and has not been a year yet no water damage but there is a white cloudy screen around the edges and will start going crazy with different colors and all someone please gel what is wrong with it?

hi

I switched the usb port and did the whole recovery holding of the buttons ect... And it worked, the computer detected the phone and i was able to click restore. However, the computer says preparing iphone for restore and it is still doing the restarting thing where the apple fades away and then comes back like it is restarting. If i can somehow get past this i will be able to go back to factory settings and resolve my problem, but this is where i am stuck.

So my home button stopped working due to water damage. I put it in the microwave(for real no joke) so the water can evaporate. 2 seconds in and the screen sparked blue and now its not working any suggestions on helping me fix it?

Please help me guys itll be a great help

Hey Peter, I think your missing the big picture. Your iPod is past repair, corrosion, is a real issue with water damage, but your problem took a turn for the worst when you attempted to use a microwave to dry it out. I see you found another post from July 2012, where someone else tried to nuke there iPod, and got the same results you have-- a dead iPod. The blue sparks, burnt smell and still not working all confirms one thing... Your iPod is not repairable. What the water didn't damage the microwave did. By attempting to microwave, you for all intensive purposes hit your iPod with an EMP, (Electro-Magnetic Pulse), in the first split second you overloaded the workings of your iPod and burned it up! There is is no way of known which circuits and components have been damaged and to what extend. You may be able to get a refurbished iPod, but it is unclear that Apple will allow it, because of the type of damage, it's not like this was an accident, you deliberately put it in the microwave in a misguided attempt to dry it out. when the microwave turned on it hit ever chip, diode, capacitor etc. with more power than it was designed to handle, in short; you baked it, burned it up, fried it, call it what you want, but it's not going to work! To attempt to repair is a meaningless gesture, (and probably will cost more than it's worth), chalk this one up as bad ideas 101-- learn from it, move on, and get yourself a new iPod. Hope this helps, Good luck. Cheers.
