What can I do once my iPhone 5c has water damage?

you can try to avoid trying to turn it on
put it in a bowl of uncooked rice which cover the phone and leave the bowl uncovered and place
it on a radiator or heated floor for 48 hours it may or may not cure

  • What can I do to save my iPhone after water damage?

    After very brief water exposure, my iPhone 5 has completely stopped working. It has shown the following screens so far: the apple screen with writing on the top, a bright blue screen, and (presently) a bright red screen. I need help reviving my iPhone. Help?

    In rare cases, leaving it in a bag of rice can help. Most likely though you will need to take it to an apple retail store (www.apple.com/retail) and book a Genius Bar appointment. If you purchased AppleCare Plus for it, should only be $49 to replace it. However without that, it does fall outside of warranty and depending on the HD size of the phone it starts at $229 to replace it I believe.

  • What should i do if my iphone 4 has water damage and the lock and home button doesn't  work and it says to plug it into itunes and to restore and update it when i restored and updated it 3 or 4 times already? What should i do?

    i need help with water damage and problems with my iphone.

    Do you have a backup of your contents?  When the iPhone showed the screen with the USB cable and said to connect to iTunes, it had already entered the recovery mode which means all content had been erased.  So you need a backup from before the water damage and problems started to get your contents back.

  • Im syncing my iphone to itunes because i cant unlock the phone due to water damage so that i can take what is on it and put it on a new phone. how can i ensure that everything was taken from the phone and where can i find it in itunes?

    my phone recently suffered water damage so that the screen does not reigster when i slide to unlock. I am sycing the data from the phone onto itunes so i can put it onto a new phone. How can i ensure that i took everything off of the old phone before i restore it and where can i find all of that stuff when i sync with the new phone?

    iTunes will only store a back up of the iPhone and you find this by following the steps below:
    Windows
    Edit>Preferences>Devices
    Mac
    iTunes>Preferences>Devices
    The link below can show you what is stored in an iTunes back up:

  • HT4061 I have an iphone 3gs - the new ios 6.1 (?) upgrade has inabled my phone. I get a white apple on the screen. can't reset phone - doesn't work. what can I do besides take phone into Apple?

    I have an iphone 3gs - yes, an older iphone. 
    This morning apple had a msg that asked if I wanted to upgrade to the new ios 6.1 (?).  I said yes.  Now I can't use my phone.  I've tried hitting the power and other buttons.  I get a white apple on the screen. can't reset phone - doesn't work. what can I do besides take phone into Apple?  This *****!  I realize (now from reading internet) that my phone/system may be uncompatible.  Help!

    I have a 3GS (a true classic design!) and have upgraded it to 6.1 today.  The process did not go without a glitch - it took a few attempts to get the app's to sync but after detecting the ones causing an issue and deleting them it works - so far!  I have had issues about 50% of the numerous times a new OS is uploaded to this phone and always take the new OS with trepidation.  But at least you know there is a 3GS with 6.1 working OK.
    I suggest you do a fresh restart to the phone several times - without it being connected to the computer - to see if it gets its act together and starts.  I think it will.  Hold down the top 'power' button and front round control button until it shuts down - goes blank and dead.  Then press the top power button to re-activate - reboot - it.
    If that does not work then plug into your itunes computer, navigate in iTunes to see your iPhone and hopefully you will be able to sync it or at least 'restore iPhone' from the 'summary' tab.
    If you can not get onto the iphone perhaps you will still be able to sync if in iTunes by going - 'file' - 'devices' - 'sync iphone' or failing that try transfer purchases' and ultimately 'restore from back-up'.
    I had technical problems with my old 3GS (suffered a failed wireless antenna) so I took it to an Apple Store and they issued me with a service-replacement/reconditioned phone for a very modest charge.  So if worst come to the worst get a new phone that way!

    What happened when you connected your iPhone to your computer while running iTunes on your computer? You should be prompted through the restore process. If it doesn't work try getting your iPhone into Recovery Mode.

    The ear phones carry the same warranty as the iPhone.  They're still in warranty.  Bring them in to Apple for evaluation and if they are deemed defective they will be replaced free of charge.

  • What can Apple do if my Iphone 5s has dust in its camera? The camera is very bad and can't take any good pictures. Can Apple do anything or give me a replacement phone if I go to the Store?

    What can Apple do if my Iphone 5s has dust in its camera? The camera is very bad and can't take any good pictures. Can Apple do anything or give me a replacement phone if I go to the Store?

    You can make a Genius Bar appointment to have the device looked at. If the device is still under warranty and they identify a problem, then Apple makes the final decision as to a replacement. If the device is out of warranty and they identify a problem, you would be offered the opportunity to purchase an out of warranty replacement at a discounted price.

  • What can i do about my iphone that has a blue tint to the screen when i have sunglasses on?

    That sounds like an issue with the sunglasses and possible polarization...there is nothing that you can do to offset that on the iPhone itself.

  • My iphone has water damage . what can i do ?

    my iphone 5s has water damage from a pool and my phone is connected with tmobile i would ike to kno what would be my best option because i dont have any money to replace my phone

    There is only one trick people sometimes succeed with, place the iPhone in a zip-lock bag with uncooked rice and close the bag and let it sit for at least a week to ten days.  If it starts up, fine...but after immersion in a pool it is not likely to do so.
    Out of warranty replacement of an iPhone 5s is $269 in the US.

    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.

  • Can you restore the data from an iPhone 6 if it has water damage?

    i want to know if i can get all the data that was on my iPhone 6 that has water damage.

    No way to tell until you try. If the water damage was severe enough
    to prevent the iPhone from starting up, then the answer is effectively no
    (see next paragraph).
    Companies specializing in data recovery may - emphasis on may - be
    able to recover some data. Attempts are very very expensive and there are
    no guarantees. Google/Bing/Yahoo/etc should assist in locating such companies.
