ouch.. that hurts..

IF iphone is official in malaysia it should be 1 for 1 exchange..

i feel for u man

Ever used a hair dryer to save it? The burn mark u mentioned I think its water.

owww, pain, just because kena rain then burn already,how much water from rain got into you iphone.? just a small amout or full rain got iinto ur iphone.?

Say something that can help him if you can. A solution would be great.

@j3ff345

Sorry mate to hear that your phone got wet. Maybe you should try using a haridryer as Vor suggested.

Cheers

@TS,

You've already switched on the phone ?
If you have, then just leave it for now. Wait for at least 2 days then try turning it back on.
The wait depends on how much water that has enter the phone. If it's not that wet then a day would be sufficient. Live Vor said, try using hair dryer for better result.
Good luck TS.

incorrect. warranty does not cover accidental damages (for example water spillage).

Added on September 8, 2008, 3:24 pmlocal apple stores (FYI there is no apple store in malaysia) will accept not iPhones as they have not been officially launched here. however there might be some dodgy repairers whom might be help.

Added on September 8, 2008, 3:27 pmyes, agreed. using a hair dryer might be beneficial provided TS did not attempt to switch it back on immediately.


reminds me of a bloke whom i helped previously. he sprayed a little too generous amount of the invisibleshield solution and couldn't start up thereafter. but i advised him to leave it at a corner for at least 24 hours and viola, it turned fine!

kindly provide some information about the origin of your iphone 3G. because if there is no way that you could even attempt to repair it, the best thing that i can advice you is to dismantle the entire unit completely and let it dry.

you will be surprised at how resilient electronic parts can be sometimes. i know because i have gone through worse.

sorry to hear about the phone. I have heard rumors that if u bury the phone into a bowl of rice it would help get the moisture out of the phone. Seems that quite a few people have tried it and the so called drowned phone came back to life after spending a day or two in a bowl of uncooked rice.

oh yeah here is the link to it, not sure if it really works but u can give it a try.
