iPhone 3GS down the toilet
So one of my parents who shall remain unnamed dropped their iPhone 3GS into the toilet.
They frantically called me and asked what to do and I said to shut it off asap and put it into a bag of rice for a week. They did that except they got impatient and tried turning it on again and now the Apple logo just keeps blinking and it can't be shut off. I tried holding the home and power buttons but this behavior just keeps going.
I removed the two bottom screws and used a suction cup to pull off the screen portion and stuck everything back into the rice. I'm pretty sure it's beyond resurrection now though.
Has anybody had any experience with wet iPhones? Any chance of repair anywhere?
Contacts and information should still be in itunes on the laptop right? A new iphone could probably be synced with them again right?
