Dropped my iPhone X in the toilet and now it won't charge

I dropped my iphone X in the toilet for a second. It was still working and its described water resistant so I thought it was fine. 2 hours later I was in 4% so I put it on charge and it says its charging. I wake up and the screen is black. Sometimes when I press the charge button it shows up as needing charging. I leave it to dry for 24 hours and then try charging it again- it comes up as its charging but after about a minute the charging thing goes off and the screens black in. The charging port was already a bit dodgy so I’m hoping it’s just the charging port damaged or do you think the whole phone is damaged?

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

Hello

even described as water resistant, the iphones don’t love immersion. I would suggest to find a serious repair shop what in order to get an inspection inside and may be a desoxydation process very quickly and to stop any charging process on the phone.

From my own pratique the parts that are the more affected by water are battery and screen then mother board due to future oxydation.

But remember even i have seen some phones working perfectly after cleaning and sometime changing of some part, the phone can suffer in the futur of early death.

good luck.

please note that if you bring your phone to apple, they will propose you only an exchange no repair. Take in consideration that if you don’t have a recent backup of your device, you should first try to save you data before going to them.
