my girlfriend dropped her iphone 4 in water in sink she grabbed it out straight away but did not turn it off it was working for a bit with screen then it eventually went off

at this stage she did not know if it was on or off

she left it in rice for the last two days but there is no picture it wont turn on yet if you ring it it rings or if u send ita message it will beep

do u think at this stage its finished

thanks in advance folks

unluckily id say it reached somthing electrical inside which fried the screen.

Cheap phone shop might be able to salvage something. If it's only a mainboard connector that's fried, a replacement might bring it back to life.

For €161.30 apple will -most likely- replace it.

Edit, just read it still seems to receive msg and stuff. Phone repair shop probably cheaper option, highly recommend e-tech in dundrum.

Put it in some cooking rice may draw out the moisture.

Just a thought,

Last chance try the hair dryer on low heat.

Its possibly not the screen- but the tiny coil for the backlight- when powered on while wet- its known to blow. Its a cheap part - but absolutely tiny and very difficult to replace without the correct soldering tools.

Check a few repair shops for prices.
