Broken iPhone 4s

princessjessie · 09-04-2012, 08:01 PM

I know this has NOTHING to do with truth or dare but I was hoping one of computer clever people will be able to help me. Basically I spilt water on my iPhone and it wouldn't charge or the the home button wouldn't work, after a while it started to charge but the home button is still stuck, it doesnt do anything when I push it and siri comes on like I'm holding it down when I'm not touching it. How do I fix it? Any ideas?

Soo.... You didn't put it in rice after you spilled water on it? WELL, I guess you can open everything up. Pop the back of, unscrew everything, then try to unjam that button. If anything is still wet, burry it in a rice bag to dry it out.
OR
just put your iphone in a bowl of rice right now as soon as you read this for like 24 hours and that might fix the button if its a moisture issue.

My experience with Apple products is that your only real helpful solution is to take it to the Apple Store. :P

They do it that way on purpose. ;D

Call Apple. Ask them to help you enable the Accessability Options. It puts a home button on your touch screen if you have issues with the real button

do get your hopes up that apple will replace it free of charge. like other ppl already said is put the phone in rice, call apple and see what they will do.
