Will my wet phone start working soon or should i get it fixed?

I asked the same question earlier and got some good responses. Place my phone in a bag with dry rice for about 2 hours but when i turned it on afterwards the screen was all white on the inside and outside screens. Is this a bad sign?


dry rice is the best thing. try keeping it in there for a longtime. if the screens are still white after there is nothing else to do but get a nnew phone

You need to try Silica Gel Packets. There was a good article on iphoneatlas.com that had lots of good reviews about how to dry a wet cell phones, iPods, etc. You need to place your cell phone in a zip lock bag with Silica Gel Packets. Silica Gel will remove all the moisture from the iPod and it's components, something air drying will not do!

Just Google "Silica Gel Packets" and you will find several companies selling these products. There is also a web site called: http://www.SilicaGelPackets.com that sells them.

When you say "all white" what do you mean? Was it white with water vapor covering the screen or like just white w/ backlight and no picture? Mine did that one time and i got mad and threw it on the ground and it magically started working again...but i dont suggest doing that >_<

I would say just wrap it in a washcloth or towel and shake it a few times then leaving it in the towel over night. Then try it the next morning. If it doesnt work then all i can say is send it back and get a new one. =S

It way take several weeks to fully dry out. Take the battery out and let it stand in a ventilated space for a week and see if it works then. I had a phone that I had given up for good when it was submerged but it came back to life after a couple of months.

if you got your phone wet it is most likely to be dead... if not, you are very lucky. my ipod got wet once, i left it under tin-foil for about thirty minutes to an one hour. i works for me... it might work work for you.

its rare to get a phone to work after its been wet, because the plasma gets mixed with the water and distorts it image

go to the company. specially if you have a warranty.

ya you should get it fixed.

Buy a new one!
