Water damage/update or recover
My sons phone was in the washing machine for about 5 minutes. I extracted and put in rice and then on top of hot water cylinder. So now it starts up ok, but the
home button doesnt work (have assistive touch option activated) so this is not a major. But now when he tries to charge it, it comes up with the 'plug into itunes' picture. When he does, it says it needs to be updated or recovered. He tries to update it, and it says, it cant be, and it needs to be recovered. He tried this, then did the updates.
But the prolem is recurring. I have found instructions on many fixes on this online BUT I am wondering if any of these fixes are pointless, because the problem originated from water damage, and so may be more of a hardware problem than software. THANK YOU.
Is this a good question?
