Title: iPhone repairs
Post by: Aficionado on November 21, 2016, 23:01.

Our daughter in law, in GA this week,  just dropped her iPhone down the loo! It has dried out but not working, needs looked at - anyone any experience of Apple shops/ tech repairs in the Alicante/Santa Pola/Elche area?

TIA,

Michael.

Unless she grabbed it quick or its an iphone 7 (shower proof) its probably knackered - it happened to my daughters phone. Hope I am wrong.

I think it's knackered they don't usually survive that .  Have you got travel insurance?

They're pretty good in there and put a new battery in my iPad and fixed my iPhone 4, much cheaper than UK.

To be honest if its had water in it there's not much hope for it.

Amazingly, it has started to work again. Not very well, but bit by bit more functions are coming back on. She is back home now and is taking it in to see if all her photos can be recovered from it.

Someone told me the other day put it in bowl of dry rice and leave it under the rice overnight and the rice sucks the moisture out

Don't know if it works but my be worth a try

Hi Spurs, that is pretty much what she did do, seems to have helped a lot.
