The screen started to go directly to sleep and wouldn't let me unlock the phone. Went to a black screen, and then a restore to itunes screen. Then it got extremely hot until it...

    Wet iPhone 5c

    Hi guys, I need some advice from you. I dropped my iPhone 5c into the toilet and instantly took it out. As the touch screen got unresponsive, I couldn't swipe to turn it off. I could finally turn it off by holding sleep awake + home button, but it took me a few minutes and a couple of hard...

    Dried chocolate on flash memory drive (with pic)

    Hi! I took my 2013 macbook pro with retina into the apple store to get a separate repair that's covered under warranty. However, they called me saying that there was chocolate on the flash memory drive, classifying the computer as "water damaged", so the only way for me to get anything fixed is...

    iPhone 5s got wet, unsure of what to do next

    So I was kayaking today and quite a bit of water got into the boat where I had my phone between my legs. I snatched my phone out of the way almost right away but it did get pretty wet. I dried off the exterior of the phone and it seemed to be working fine. I didn't know what to do so I turned it...

    Dropped iPhone 5 in water then charged

    I dropped my iPhone 5 in the water today (with a water-RESISTANT case) and I plugged it into the charger 10 minutes after drying it to make sure the charge was still holding. (Dumb, I know.) I unplugged it, turned it off and put it in rice for an hour. After another hour, I turned it on to check...

    Carrier Verizon Trade-In Offer?

    My mom ruined her iPhone 6 with water on a walk in the rain. It shorted out for a bit but then started up again without issue. Now there's staining/streaking on the LCD under the glass, but the phone works well otherwise. I've got her a 6(S) now, and Verizon estimated that they would pay $140...

    Can this be fixed [milk spill on Mac logic board]

    I didn't cry but I felt like it when a glass of milk spilled all over the table my MacBook was on. The milk didn't land on it but there was enough of a puddle the milk still got into it before I could save it. My first mistake was trying to turn it on afterwards. It didn't turn on and the...
