I dropped my phone in water, now the camera doesn't work, help!

I dropped my phone in a bucket of water. I dried it out in a tub of rice as told to do on the Internet , since then the camera or video won't work. I have rebooted to factory settings but nothing. Is there anything I can do?

No, since more than likely this was caused by water damage.
Apple offers an out of warranty or not covered by the warranty "repair" price that pays for an exchange at a significantly reduced price off the full retail sales price.

IPhone 5 suffered heavy water damage, just started functioning regularly-- Need help!

So last July my iPhone 5 experience severe water damage. Apple store employees said that there was little they could do. The phone would not function
Fast forward to 6 months later: I hook up the phone to the wall outlet and the black screen shows up with rows and rows of white text. I can hook it up to iTunes but it can't restore.
Fast forward to today (a year later): I plugged my phone into the wall outlet and hooked it up to iTunes. The phone successfully was updated and restored. It now seems to function normally. I'm considering calling my carrier to switch back to my iPhone 5, however I'm not sure if it will fail on my later because there was extensive water damage before. What are your guys' thoughts?

It will fail at some point or start acting in a strange manner. And such failure will occur at the time you need the device the most according to my friend Murphy. When the device was water damaged you could have gotten an out of warranty replacement for less than the price of a new phone. In fact you may still be able to get such a replacement. Check with the local Apple store.

Water Damage?!?! PLZ HELP!!!

I need serious help. I spilt a cup of water and some of the water got into the back of the laptop (the fans) It shut off immediately I tried to turn it back on and it wouldnt. I dried it out shook it out and everything. Now when I press the power button the sleep/wake button stays lit and the screen blinks once (white) how it would normally but after that it stays black. Any advice here? What should I do?Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

About water and electronics:
As most people know, water and electronics don't mix. Whether it means dropping a cellphone in the lake, or spilling water on your laptop. When you get water on something, it will short circuit everything that has battery power. The best thing to do when something gets wet, is to take out the battery immediately and take it off charge. Then you have to wait about a week (the longer, the better), and then wish for luck and turn it on. If done correctly, it will almost always work again.
Once, I dropped my cell phone in the lake. I didn't notice it for about a minute. When I did, I dove down there and got it, took the battery out and let it dry. About a week later, it was running like nothing happened.
The key is to disconnect all power right away.
Unfortunately, in your case, you plugged it in, so a lot of damage has probably been done already, and is probably going to cost a lot of money.

Cannot play HDCP on internal MacBook Air (Mid 2012) after water damage - the only fault with MBA after the spill?

Hi everyone-
So this Sunday afternoon I went to download some TV shows on my MacBook Air - having recently spilt some water across my Mac. Have left it for a couple of weeks, and seems the only issue is that the MacBook Air now no longer recognises the batteries so has to be run from AC power.
Everything else on the Mac works fine - though, when I went to play these TV shows I downloaded (720p), it brings up the HDCP error saying that:
"The selected movie won't play on your display.
This movie can be played only on displays that support HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection)."
I've googled and searched everywhere but can find no workaround- nor any troubleshooting to help me out with this.
Can anybody advise, beyond stating the obvious that the water has obviously messed something up.
Thanks!

Sorry for taking so long, I had to go Christmas shopping with the family. Anyway, I tried that, and no gas there, either. I've done a memtest and changed the hibernatemode to 0 using pmset since this post. So... yeah. I'm hitting a wall and am willing to bet it's the SSD going out the door.

My iPhone fell in the water and the display will not turn on, I can hear SIRI

My iPhone 5 fell in the water
I put it in rice and now I can hear SIRI but the display will not turn on

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.

Woke up and my phone was completely dead. Won't turn on, no charging, nothing at all. Thought maybe some kind of water damage because it was on my windowsill, but neither of the water detectors have turned a color. Help?

No that’s probably what I’ll do. I'm thinking the guys at the apple store can only do basic technical support since most of them are sales people that don't know how to physically repair phones. It seems kinda silly that, as fine as a product the iPhone is, when something like this happens they just tell you to replace the entire device without doing any proper diagnostic. If it was any other phone you could simply take it to a cell phone repair shop and they'll usually fix it. It’s almost as though Apple assumes their products will never fail so that when they do, the only solution is to replace the entire device at a cost higher then it would be if it was just a simple fix. So hopefully the local cell repair shop can do something instead of having to replace the entire phone. I'll accept the fact if I have to replace it after taking it to a few places and having some real technicians look at it, instead of a 5 minute trial and error diagnostic done by a sales associate at the apple store being quick to tell me that the phone is useless and has to be replace for several hundreds of dollars.

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.

Please help!! Computer dummy + water damage

I know this is a very common, probably annoying, question asked in Apple forums but I can't find a recently updated discussion page to post this on. My Google searches aren't really coming up with a specific answer, just pages of forums from 2005-2008. I didn't see any with recent dates, and I really need someone to give advice asap. I am in graduate school and desperately need to get my computer running again or at the VERY least find out if the hard drive is still functional so I can access my important files and transfer them to a new computer.
My Macbook was sitting on my bed, closed and unplugged. I am normally very careful with my Macbook, and I thought my Nalgene water bottle was tightly closed (it wasn't) and a safe distance from my laptop (wrong again). Since water bottles don't fly, I assume my cat knocked my water bottle off the bedside table and onto the bed....more specifically, onto my Macbook. I was in the bathroom getting ready for bed when this occurred. I came out of the bathroom to find a large puddle on the bed and an empty water bottle nearby. And just my luck, the Macbook was right in the middle of the puddle. It was about 15 ounces of water. The area surrounding the computer was soaked through the bedspread, all the way down to the sheets. I'm guessing the water was on the laptop for about 3-5 minutes while I was out of the room.
Here is what I did upon finding this disaster:
1) I immediately moved the Macbook to a dry area, and used a dry towel to blot up what I thought was all of the water. Some water had even gotten to the keyboard/screen, even though the laptop was closed.
2) I was not thinking straight and I know nothing about internal workings of laptops, so I performed the panicky knee-jerk reaction.... "ok, I got most of the water, I should check see if it still works" and tried to turn it on. I realize now that was a dumb move, and I am very angry with myself. But anyway, it began to start up normally, but right after making the Apple noise that it usually makes upon restarting, it faded to a blue screen with the apple logo for a second, then went black. I know this is bad, but I didn't heard any abnormal noises like something was being fried, it just shut off.
3) I removed the plastic Incase protective shell. Note to self: it is not watertight. Some water was trapped underneath the shell, but I didn't realize how much had gone inside the computer yet.
4) I dried off the top and bottom of the laptop
5) I removed the battery. Water came dripping out. Sad times.
6) With another dry towel, I blotted everywhere I could to soak up as much water as possible, and placed the laptop on a towel on a desk in an upside down V shape. The battery is next to it.
This all happened at 11pm on 2/2/2010. The Macbook has been sitting in the same position ever since, in a low-humidity room with an overhead fan. I do not have Apple Care but I know water damage isn't covered anyway. I've also read that Apple charges anywhere from $700-900 to repair water damage, so I might as well buy a new laptop if this damage is irreparable. Given my situation, my questions are:
1) How much longer should I wait before trying to turn it back on? It has been almost 48 hours.
2) Can anyone give me any advice (other than "be more careful next time") for what to do next? Does putting the laptop in a sealed box full of rice really help get the moisture out? How about a hair dryer?
3) Should I follow the instructions on ifixit.com to take the computer apart to allow for more evaporation? Because if it is strongly recommended that I do this, I can have my fiance (who is very good with computers) do it for me....but I am very worried that taking it apart will damage it even further.
3) If all else fails and the logic board is fried, can I still remove the hard drive and get my files off of it?
Any responses will be greatly appreciated.

hey, sorry to hear about your computer.
i'll try to answer your questions, so here goes:
1. you could try again to turn on the computer, but the only issue is that the parts of the computer are already fried and might not work. you could try though, it can't hurt to try. also, when doing this listen for beeps coming from the computer. if that happens, i can send a list of beep codes that might narrow down what might have been damaged.
2. i have heard that rice does work since it absorbs a lot of moisture. i've never (thankfully) had to try it before, but other people says it works fine. you might try that before turning on the computer again. it'll just get rid of the excess moisture.
3. taking apart the computer won't damage it if done correctly. ifixit is a good place to go for that kind of stuff. just know that if something does break, you'll be charged for a replacement part (though it looks like you'll have to pay for some replacements anyway). this might work for drying out, but i'd stick with the rice to be safe, just because it doesn't involve disassembling the computer.
4. if your logic board is fried, you can possibly recover the data from the hard drive. the only possibility is that water entered the drive, rendering it useless. if you are going to attempt to salvage the hard drive, you'll need another laptop to put it in or get a drive reader. it plugs into another computer and reads the drive through the Disk Utility. i'm not quite sure where to get those, but i'm sure you can find on on Newegg.com or some reputable computer parts store.
i'm not totally sure how much apple charges for water damage repairs, but it's worth going to a store and they can see whats wrong and come up with an estimate and then decide whether to get a new macbook or to forgo the cost of repairs.
i'm really sorry to hear about your macbook, but i really hope something can be done. write back if you need more help.

my i phone 4 is water damaged and it is working but network not shown so please help me

A replacement iPhone is usually a refurbished iPhone that has received new battery and case and repair of anything that may have been faulty. The refurbished iPhone is indistinguishable from a new iPhone. A number of the regulars on here prefer the refurbished Aplle products because they have been so thoroughly tested.
A replacement iPhone is identical to the original, same color, capacity, and so on.

My "4" won't turn on, won't charge when connected to charger or computer. I've tried to reboot and it still doesn't turn on, its never been dropped or had water damage. My warranty ran out on feb. 23, help!

Hello Breejumpp,
Try Reset ( No Data will be lost )
Press and Hold the On/Off switch (On top your iPhone) and the Home Button (Button at the bottom of your iPhone screen). Hold both the keys simultaneously for atleast 10 to 15 seconds and you should see an Apple Logo coming up on your screen, once you see the Apple logo you can then release oth On/Off switch and Home button and wait for your iPhone's Home screen.
