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.

I just rescued my cell phone from the washing machine. Should I leave it to dry naturally or use a hairdryer for best chances of bringing it back to life?

I dropped my iPhone in bath only there seconds and i took it right away….works fine except no sound but there is sound when earphones plugged in or on speaker phone. What should I do?
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.
This happened to me last night, dropped a full pint of water on my iPhone, was absolutely gutted! Still worked when I turned it on but the speaker wasn’t working, I couldn’t hear anything when I rang people. What to do?

Yesterday I had on iPhone sitting on the table and I had pineapple soda in a cup on that same table, the soda didn’t spill I think the cup has a little leek in it so when I went to pick up my phone the back screen was wet then it started giving me minor problems like the are where the charger go is acting up when I plus it into the docking station that I have it don’t turn right no like it use to and the sound is super low I mean when I play that music with any speakers or anything the sound is prefect it’s only when I put it on the dock the sound is low, what should I do? Like I said all the sounds is good expect when I put it on the dock even though it plays the sound is super low
