How to save your iPhone after the water damage or getting wet

We put together a nice article on saving a water damaged iPhone. It discusses a process that includes how to clean out your iPhone after liquid damage occurs, also ways to remove contaminants if you spilled such things as coffee, tea, soda, etc. on your iPhone. It is a multi step process and should only be used at your own discretion. We do not guarantee this will work and it is more drastic than your typical bag of rice drying method. It builds on the rice method with some other techniques that we have found can work.

Typically the first hardware item that goes in water damaged iPod or iPhones is the battery. After trying this method you can test to see if the iPod works by plugging it in to a wall adapter or by connecting to your PC or Mac as described in the article. If it doesn’t power on without the charger connected this is usually indicative of a iPod or iPhone battery issue.

Replacing a water-damaged iPhone is expensive. Apple states that the warranty does not cover water damage. Water will cause it to short-circuit and it will never turn on again.

A faster way of drying out an iPhone that got water damage is to blow dry it. Set the blow dryer on low heat and dry the iPhone for one to two hours. I am sure that this works.
