hey how did u get them to replace it. i got an apple iphone for my birthday i got it on june 20th of this year and i accidently droped it and now the top half of the screen does not work if anyone can help me out any plz email me [contact information removed for privacy reasons]

I dropped my iPhone while running in from the car during a storm, I let it air dry and would not work. I found an article on iphoneatlas.com and said to dry out your iphone you needed to place it in a zip-lock bag with Silica Packets and linked to: http://www.silicagelpackets.com

I ordered some via Priority Mail and let the phone air dry until I got them. I simply placed then in a zip-lock bag and let them in there overnight and tried the phone the next day and it worked perfectly. Maybe it will work for some of you as well, not sure the exact link to the article but you should be able to find it via the web site.

Got my iPhone wet in the rain, hardly a few drops but i guess it was too late. The water went in through the headphone jack and changed the water sensor to halkf white and half red, so warranty is down the drain! It prompted me to "power off" the iphone, which i did. I tried drying it for a couple of hours with a hair dryer (some 6 inches away from it). It happened yesterday,and its still not powered on. I am now trying to keep it under uncooked rice, wish me luck. I love that gadget, and had just got it some months back. Any suggestions? Is there any way to find out if the circuit hasnt shorted already.

well i was at six flags magic mountain yesterday. me and a cupple friends got on a ride called roaring rapids and if you ever been to knots its exactly like big foot but big foot your gunna get soaked no matter what. well we got on not knowing we were gunna get soaked cuz we saw some people comming off the rode and they were mostly dry. we asked the ride attendent can we leave are stuff in a locker or with him (just in case) and he said no there arnt any lockers and we cant hold on to them cuz if something happends blah blah blah. anyways all 4 of us got off SOAKED! first thing i did was pull my iphone out of my pocket and tryed to dry it off it was impossable cuz my whole body was wet. so i grabed some paper towls and dryed it off then hell started. i tryed to turn it off becuz it was 20% low battery and it wouldnt turn off. it cept poping up over and over again with 20% low battery i clicked ok and then the phone froze like that for about 10 min and it turned off. im takeing it to the apple store today. wish me luck :-(

My phone got wet (pepsi wet) yesterday. I took the case off and dried it off and the little "I need charging" pic came up. Then it died. I took out the SIM card and wiped the pop off, put it in some rice overnight...to no avail. I, of course, would lovea new or fixed phone... but what I really need is my calendar stuff as ALL my 2 year olds appts and docs phone numbers are in there. Is there a way to retrieve info?

Hi everyone. I was wondering if there is a way to check that water sensor without taking the iphone apart. Thanks.

Ya know, this is why the darned things are so expensive - because instead of being careful with your phone, or being honest with what you did, all of you tools are trying to pull one over on Apple...I can only hope that karma takes care of all of you.

I went fishing with my brother in-law and his fishing rod feel in the lake...well I jumped to the rescue, but unfortunately my iphone was in my pocket and I didn't event get the rod back. My iphone died and tried everything but it seems like it was just a bad dream which I can't seems to wake up from it. I felt though I've just lost a set of legs or arms. Everywhere I go now, I felt like I'm handy-cap without my iphone. Just bought it too. Very Very Sad and disappointed... ATT should carry insurance for this product. Can't believe they denied my request for it. Well after all the research I've done seeking, it seems to me that try drying up the phone might work again. So I'm going to wrap it up in a sweatshirt and toss it in the dryer for at least 30 minute and see if it works... HOPE IT DOES... I'll let you guys and gals know what happen later....

My three your old came running in from the yard with my iphone (she is NEVER allowed to touch it) and says "uh oh". The phone was dripping with water. She sprayed it with the hose. When this happened it wasn't fully charged but as soon as I tried turn it on it didn't do anything. I drove straight to the apple store and they could see the water sensor and said it wasn't covered with apple care. 250 to fix it. I burst into tears (can't even think about paying that, it is only four months old) and ran out of the store. Tonight, just for the hell of it pressed it and it turned on. Put it on the charger and I was able to make a phone call and text too. Starts acting funking, turning off and on but that least now I have hope. I read on line to put it in a bag of rice and those packets that take away moisture. FINGERS CROSSED! Hope at least this means my sim card is ok. My question: is it bad to turn it on?

My iPhone fell into a cup of water today, only the top half was submerged and I pulled it out immediately, but of course it had to be the headphone jack end. I dried it off and rushed it to the genius bar only to be told the water seal is broken and they can't do anything. The guy was a total jerk to me as I cried in the middle of the Apple store, all I wanted was my phone numbers! So now I'm trying to let it dry out in my car in the heat and I'm going to put it in a bag of uncooked rice tonight. Anymore suggestions for me? When it first happened it looked fine, then lost service. So I tried to turn it off and then the apple logo showed up and then it went dead. AHHHH this thing is like my child! My whole life is in that phone!
