    OK folks i left my iPhone in my jeans that went into the wash and now the phone wont turn on, i have dried it out and have been looking online for ways to fix it. now before i open it up and start to do a few things i have seen online, is there anywhere you would recommend i try out first.

    and if anyone has had one fixed with water damage how much did it cost and where did you go?

    it was yesterday and put it a bowl of rice tilted up slightly so that any extra water left in the phone would dribble out. i went straight online after it happened and every site went to said to do that.

    A member here fixes them and recommends hoovering at the dock connector to draw as much water out and then leave in a sealed bowl of rice for 2-3 days minimum. Don't try turning on whatever you do

    o crap i tried turning it on there a few times :(

    i even tried charging it cos it was dead when it went into the wash, and i though that it might just need a charge.

    but i will give it a shot anyway and i will get back on here and say if it worked for me. thanks for the advice :)

    If you search boards you should find a good few topics on this already. One thing to mention that if you don't get your phone working you could try and get it repaired in a shop, but apple will do a out of warranty repair for water damage (they'll actually just give you a new phone). It will cost you around €210 for a 4s though... Details on apple's own website, Good luck.
