masterpasser Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 OK my iphone 4 had a minor encounter with some water on a bench top .Nothing major. Anyway dried it and took all the necessary steps no minimise potential damage. No go . So took to Tutkum . 3 weeks , but they said can't fix. Opened phone up and water damage sensor intact . Switched batteries from girls iphone into mine and voila , phone boots up . Screen fine , battery working fine , message to connect to itunes - Don't like it , error message recommends to take to Apple store for service. This iphone was unlocked here in Thailand -originally from Oz. I am speculating that its a software issue only - Will apple here in Pattaya service this iphone?

thrilled Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 You shouldn't have turned it on.May have short circuited it.My phone got damp,I didn't turn it on.I went right away and put it in rice for 3 days.After that it was ok.You might have to get it to Apple.

masterpasser Posted April 24, 2014 Author Share Posted April 24, 2014 Had apple looked at the phone and the unit is fully functional -except its locked by the original carrier in Australia. I paid 3000 bht to have it unlocked here and it worked successfully -until now. Its a total brick now , but maybe able to be salvaged back in Oz.
