I drop my iphone in a cup of tea and now wont turn on, how do i fix this

I still have my slide rule. Like pretty much all the engineers that I know, I used it until 1972, when HP introduced the HP-35 calculator. At that time we paid US$400 for the HP-35 and put the slide rule away, never to be used again.

Because they don't have access to the parts required to do a good job on the repair, that's what happens when you have only used and fake parts (how much discount do your fakes attract, and how much less do you charge for a used part as compared to a new one)

A good repair is one that returns the iPhone to it's designed performance level.

I'd like to challenge you to find a difference in appearance, performance or quality in an iPhone that I've repaired, vs an original.

I feel like we all need to get together for a beer, now.

Along with Blanton's Single Barrel bourbon.

It's 5 o'clock somewhere.

Are transistors still really used?

Well yes, how else could the LCD image line drain its voltage when you click the display off? You wouldn't want that voltage just sitting there when it is not needed for display, that might drain battery life. I forget if they are N channel or P channel switches without looking at the schematics. Good old transistors Q3 and Q7. Same ones the noobs at the Apple Store knocked off that iPhone 5 pry damage board.

fwi, this whole dialogue has been enlightening and I'll be speaking with my attorney about modifying my lifetime warranty on my repairs to include covering any remaining Apple warranty, under Apple's warranty policies. Thus, a customer with an existing warranty won't have to fret over having their warranty void over 3rd party repair.

For example, if someone with a 2 month old iPhone comes to me for a screen repair and I agree to the repair, then I warranty my screen for life (non-transferable) and the rest of the phone for the remaining 10 months of Apple's warranty. So, should the headphone jack stop working in the next 10 months, they can bring it back to me for repair, for free - so long as evidence of abuse isn't found, per Apple's own policy.

FM?

Just to be clear, the "M" is "magic."

I've got the one I got in college, a couple of others, and my step-grandfather's, that he used when designing the human centrifuge for NASA. I, too, retired it when I got an HP-35. Had to wait 15 weeks for it. Sold it about 10 years ago on e-bay. The irony, a week before the HP-35 was announced the place I worked bought a Sony calculator with nixie tube display that could add, subtract, multiply, divide and square root. $800. I now have HP-12C and HP-15C emulators on my iPhone. A lot less expensive than the originals. But I also have the originals. And also a slide rule simulator app on my iPhone. And a pilot's E-6B flight calculator simulator app also. To supplement the real thing, which I also have. Also a Newton 120 (no real use for that).

You'll notice that I edited my post - the HP-35 came out in 1972, not 1971.

My slide rule is a K&E Log-Log Duplex Decitrig. I never liked the round Picket units. I lecture school kids on the Apollo moon program; I was an engineer on the program and, quite literally, Mr. Armstrong carried my signature to the moon. I show them the slide rule and, after class one day, I foolishly tried to use it. Other than the C/D scales, I was clueless!

I love my iPad Pro. Off topic yes. But I do.

You're new to the forum and possibly you don't realize that we NEVER go off topic! 😁

Who goes off topic? Tech people always stay on topic.

nuglas vs Belkin stuff. Hahaha JK that is no contest, Belkin is a horrible company in my opinion.

This is a legit question for all the high level people that shut down 3rd party repair shops as an option. Have you been to one, have you ever had an issue with your phone? Have you had an issue with your phone while apple store is not close?

What actual knowledge do you guys have? You want the 3rd party people to provide credentials. Pony up with yours. Being an admin on a forum is not even close to credible btw. This is also for mobile devices. Not like a degree in history would help. Just wondering what makes a quote machine/ go to apple store reply monster so good?

You can try put it in a bowl of rice, that might work but you have to put it in there for quit a while. And if this does not work you can try to take the screen of your phone and put it in again. And if all this does not work, well lets hope it works.
