Iphone 3g 16 gigs fell in swimming pool (PICS)

[myst4ry]

Long story but I was pushed in the swimming pool while I had my iphone in my jeans pocket. I let it dry for 24h then put it in a bag with rice for another 24h, now it's 48h later and I turned it on, it looks like there is small mini-clouds under the screen, or that the pixels are damaged, anyways to fix this ???

Cliffs :
- Iphone went into swimming pool
- Small clouds/condensation UNDER the screen.
- The phone and screen seem to be working FINE for the moment.

I feel sorry for you buddy. Make sure you make the person who pushed you pay.

Find another phone to use and put your iphone in a NEW bag of rice tightly sealed for a week.

Time for a 3GS.

You turned it on way too soon.

Check out my thread from a couple of days ago - very similar story and good advice (hopefully!)

Rice won't help. The chlorine water will do damage to the circuit boards. My son's had the same problem. I had to take it apart many times and clean with alcohol before it finally worked. It had corrosion on a lot of parts. Not the the average person to do.

Rice

The rice in a bag worked for my buddy. Place it in the bag and forget it for a couple of days. You have nothing to loose. don't try to turn it on again.

If you are comfortable, open it up. You have trapped moisture in there. It's got to dry out. Rice will help, but really the only way to do it is to get the moisture a way to escape.
