phone layed in sewer 2hours help?
hi
hello everyone, im from holland and found youre site on google
my boyfriend let his iphone slip out of his pocked and id slided on the snow/ice next to the road in a sewer/well
it layed there for 2 hours cuz we could not get it out until we used a rake.
(he was really upset as u can imagine)
when out of the water we emidiatly let is drip out of water in a towel on the heating (not to extremely hot ofcourse)
and it still does not work, 2days later when no water was coming out or visable
i opened it up like the manuel here and noten to see but the pink stickers and some rusty spots on the back side of the logic board now
5 days later letting it dry would you think ik could work again?
(srry for the long story)
hope you can help :)
thanks
Iris
Update (01/17/2011)
hello just to update you
since the question i asked u, ive let the phone just dry on a shelf,
and ik got curious what was inside, my boyfriend sayd i will blow it up cus i will never work again but i would not let him.
so i decided to plug it in the pc my pc with no itunes sayd new hardware found but noting happend futher i could not instal the stearingprogram, on my other pc with itunes nothing happned also,
so i wanted to take it apart,
but now totaly
found sand, dirt and rusty places around logic board and other things,
also alot of the orange datacable things let loose and were dirty,
i can take the silver plates of the logic board an see whats under there but
i think the phone really really died
Is dit een goede vraag?

iris, nothing is ever really dead :) If nothing else may be you can get another logic board of ebay or similar places. Wishing you all the best and good luck.

you need to clean it as oldturkey said in his first answer, let it dry, replace the battery and then see if it is truly dead
