What Can We Do after iPhone Fall into Water?
Have you ever dropped your iPhone 3GS/4/4S/5/5S/5C/6/6 Plus into water by accident? Do you know how to deal with the waterlogged iPhone? Now I want to share you some useful steps after dropping your iPhone into water.
1. Take your iPhone out of the water as soon as possible.
2. Turn off your iPhone.
3. Remove all enclosures of your iPhone.
4. Dry it off with a towel or tissue, and then wipe it by using q-tip with alcohol. Try your best to wipe up excess water that is visible to the naked eye.
5. Continuously dry it out with a hair dryer. Please pay attention not to dry your iPhone with hot-blast air; otherwise your device is likely to be burned out.
6. Put iPhone in an airtight bag filled with rice.
7. Wait at least 36 hours. Then turn on your iPhone and check whether it can work well.
Well, if you are afraid that this approach wouldn't work, you’d better take waterlogged iPhone to Apple store and look for customer service.
