Yup I pulled a "Junior" I went swimming with my Iphone in my pocket. Got it in a bag of rice and put it in the oven (I only turned on the light, relax). I'm gonna leave it over night which means I want be having a very good sleep. :|
Ahaha.. Pulled a Junior! I DIDN'T DO IT. MY GIRLFRIEND DID! Fingers crossed it works for you. If nbot, apply will replace it cheaply... and since they don't make the 16gb 3g you'll prolly get a 4
apple should make an app so iphones can swim, they have apps for everything else if it doesnt work get a blackberry, youll be much happier
Lol, Junior your girl's givin you all sorts of problems. (read your other board). Still haven't tried it, I've heard you need to keep it in there at least 24 hours- 48hours. I'll keep you guys updated R&F a swimming app would be nice, maybe even some iphone floaties included in the package. And I've tried other phones and nothing feels as good as the Iphone.
UPDATE: Plugged it in to charge it, turned on fine and was working properly. Except the screen had a few bright spots from water damage. As soon as I unplugged it though it turned off and won't turn on anymore. R.I.P My dear friend
No, the warranty doesn't cover water damage, and they make sure that no one tries to lie to them, they have multiple water triggered sensors on the phone. I might find someone who can repair it.
I found w water repair place... would of cost me more than contacting apple and getting them to send me a new one. I think $300 via apple. Or $350 through this repair place. (local to me)
Really I found a few that are in the $60 range :/ Might go for it. There are also some on Ebay for cheap, but those are hard to trust.
btw, it sounds like the battery's the thing that's damaged- try just buying and installing a new one.
Yup it was the battery, got it replaced for $90. Everything works fine now Screen has a few bright spots, but I didn't feel like paying an extra $80 to make my phone look a bit prettier
