Iphone5 got wet

Hi! Does keeping it in rice work? Will 3 days be sufficient? How will I know if it is dry? Like I said, the wet indicator in the sim card slot did not change color.

Hi! Just an update to all. Like I said before, every iphone has a liquid contact indicator which changes color when it gets wet. Glad to tell you that mine did not change color. I turned it on yesterday and it was like before (fingers still crossed). Anyway, here is what I did if ever anyone has any unfortunate accidents:

1. Turn off the phone immediately.

2. Wipe it dry, especially the speakers, earphone jack, and lightning connector.

3. Take out the sim card and check the indicator. For me, I did it 10hrs later because I still have not gotten home yet.

4. Vacuum every crevice you can find.

5. Put in in uncooked rice to draw out the water. It depends on how wet your phone got. For me, I did it for less than 24 hours. Like I said, my indicator did not change color.

6. Keep your fingers crossed until you turn the phone on again. Hope this helps!

Hi Veealy,

Please check the link on my post above. You will see the wetness indicator in the sim card slot. If the indicator turned pink then you have a problem there. It means that the inside got wet. Since you are still under warranty, I suggest that you take it back to the Apple store and have it looked at. If the wetness indicator did not turn pink, dont tell them that it got wet, maybe there was another problem. Good luck!
