Wet iPhone

[Lannoc]

My wife's iPhone 5 went for a swim the other day. I thought we got lucky as it seemed to work fine, but now when it is plugged in to charge, the battery barely moves. It might get to 10% after an hour.
I am wondering if the battery is the problem, or I also read it could be the charging circuit?
Anyone have an opinion based on experience?

Thanks,

I would agree that is probably the charging circuit that has gone. Have you tried putting it in rice overnight?

No, not yet. I was going to before it seemed like it was working fine.
I'll give it a try.

Thanks,
