UNBELIEVABLE!!! All the wrong things done and it still works like new!!! My wife dropped her iPhone in the bath the other night! It was still working for a few seconds and then screen started to flicker and she turned it off. She then tried to turn it back on but to no avail! It was DEAD! She shook it for a few seconds and then shook it some more and still more water was being ejected. She tried to turn it on several times more but nothing happened. She left it under her pillow over night in the hope it may dry out and would be alright but NO it was still dead the following morning! She called me at work later that morning (using the landline phone) to tell me that she was a murderer! She had killed her iPhone. She was in despair! She had lost what had become a family member. No more ‘Words With Friends’ or ‘iReversi’ or any games she plays with the world that is now part of the family! GUTTED! After I had finished calling her all the names under the sun I told her to get the hair dryer on it and use it on the coolest setting and sit nursing the phone for at least 20 minutes while directing the air into the various orifices of the phone. Then I told her to seal it in a container of dry rice (uncooked), which she did. When I returned home from work I took a look at the phone and the sensor in the bottom of the phone, the one inside the charger slot was a lovely shade of PINK. That’s it I thought, more money! We left the phone in the rice in a warm, darkened room (the airing cupboard) and left it there for 24 hours. Again on my return from work and after reading all of the bloggs that had negative comments about the chances with it, I decided to try it! What’s left to lose? It buzzed first and then the battery meter came on showing about 1% power then died again. I tried again and the same happened. I plugged the charger in I turned it on, the charger indicator symbol showed on the screen showing a red bar and that it was connected. I left it for about a minute (still on charge) and then tried to turn it on using the on button on the top, IT WORKED! The Apple was on the screen, then suddenly a BUZZ and Hey Presto! It sprang back to life! Gob smacked! I shouted my wife to tell her it was on. She came running in and snatched it from me and started cuddling it. Then we looked at it and tried all the different functions, she rang me on mine, sent me a text, sent me an email, went on the web, played some music, opened some of the Apps and all was ok! We left the phone on charge for a few hours and it is like new! How lucky are we? Not even visible signs of any water damage on the screen as so often happens with drowned iPhones. I know we were very lucky and there is still a chance that we may encounter problems with the battery losing its charge quicker but at the moment it is fine! Thank goodness!!!

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I was going to pick up my exam results on my moped when it suddenly started pelting it down! i had a "Waterproof" Berghaus jacket on so i pulled over and transfered my phone from my jeans to my "Waterproof pocket" i then set of and the rain was very heavy by now. after half an hour i arrived home and checked my phone straight away to see if there was any damage. the pocket was full of water. HOW THE FU*K DID THE WATER GET IN THERE!!
