Iphone in the washing machine! (Update in OP)

Ahhhhhh! Nightmare!

To make you feel better, I dropped my phone down a toilet a few years ago, after sitting on the radiator for a couple of hours it was fine.

Fingers crossed for you

I was one of the unlucky ones. Mine went a little something like this..

me- 'H, have you seen my phone?'

H- 'How do you always manage to lose it in the house!?'

(Me listening and realising I could hear a dumdum... dumdum.. dumdum coming for the washing machine)

me- 'H.. I found my phone...'

I decided to go for Samsungs after that as I decided I was cursed with Iphones after losing one and breaking 2.. I'm on my 3rd Samsung so have realised that it is just me being super clumsy..

Oh no ladies, glad i am not the only one lol!.. i feel so stupid.. it still worked when i took it out just said it couldnt find a sim card.. and so turned it off and hoping for the best!

Argh how annoying! I did this with my digicam, but OH took it apart and left it to dry for a day and it still works, so hopefully you should be ok!

Hope it's ok, fingers crossed. I know people in work who've done this, some have been fine, others haven't been.

Lets hope i am one of the lucky ones.. i am stuck on a contract but no insurance eek! not sure how much it's going to cost me

Mine didn't turn on at all but had practically been rolled around the drum for the whole cycle so probably explains why! Fingers crossed yours will be okay!

Fingers crossed.

I put my phone in the washing machine after I couldnt find it. Got the thing out and it had logged me on to facebook and was still working!!

Leave it in the rice (preferably in an airing cupboard if you have one) for at least 3-4 days.

I dropped mine down the loo, tried to turn it on in a drunken state but Mr C did the rice thing and it was fine. Turning it on while wet fries the circuit boards so resist the temptation till fully dried out!

It was on when it when into the machine and so i turned it off when i got it out of the machine its now been in the rice since about 11am, not got an airing cupboard but its in the warmest room of the house so hopefully that will help with the heating on! lol

I didn't have an airing cupboard either, left the box on top of a radiator. Make sure you leave it there for a good few days and you should be ok.

Yeah going to leave it in there for 48 hours at least so fingers crossed

Sorry if I sound stupid, but how does rice help it? ?

Absorbs all the moisture.

?

Apparently it draws out all the moisture just put it in a bowl near the radiator to help too lol

Nooo! This is one of my paranoia's... I hope the rice and heat sorts it out.

I've washed mine before.. Not an Iphone but a Nokia years ago. It never worked again.
