My iPhone got wet!
Hi , i dropped my iPhone 4 in the toilet , the thing is that it didnt turn off when i removed it from the toilet, so it kept turned on till the second day then it was off, i put it in rice from 3 days ,and then plug it into the mains,the iTunes symbol shows up and if i remove the iPhone from the mains,it immediately turns off ,i tried restoring through iTunes , but i got an error 1611 .. i tried restoring in dfu mode also i got an error .. some guys told me that its a battery problem and i need to change it,any help ?the iPhone is 15 days old ,and i barely used it,i am so upset :( thanks everyone!
Is this a good question?

Bahij, I would start of with this Guide After that I would most certainly change the battery. Water and the batteries do not get along at all. Reevaluate when you have this accomplished. foolow the guides listed on the right hand side of this page to get to your battery. They also sell the proper tools on here. There of course is also the possibility that it is not your battery but your dock connector. Anyhow, follow the guide, change the battery and recheck

Bro i live in Lebanon and they don't ship the tools here to Lebanon i don't know why . I am scared that the logic board might be damaged . i took it to a local store here in my country , he told me that its totally immersed in water and is dead forever , but i am not sure , cause here they don't have much experience in iPhones . Regards

Even so it has been totally submersed, there is no way I would give up on it. Still follow the guide. Have you contacted ifixit for the tools and see if they ship to Lebanon? If not may be somebody could help you out from here and send it to you.

I was thinking of sending it to my friend in Canada , I heard that apple replaces water damaged iPhones if we pay an out of warranty (OOW) which is 220$ + tax in Canada , and i think if i disassemble it they won't replace it . do u have any info about that bro ?

I do know that the program exist but " For example, an iPhone that has failed due to damage or liquid damage is eligible for Out-of-Warranty service. However, certain damage is ineligible for OOW service, including catastrophic damage, such as the device separating into multiple pieces, and inoperability caused by unauthorized modifications." So it is still Apples call if you are going to get it fixed. At this time you do not have anything to lose. I suppose. Go give it a try. http://support.apple.com/kb/index?page=s...
