You can also preheat your oven to 110 degrees and leave it in there for a couple of hours. Yes, this does work. A friend of mine just did this with his iPhone 5 after he dropped it in a drainage ditch, and fished around for nearly a minute before finding it.

The thing continued to work for an hour after and has now given up the ghost. Obviously donn’t know if the thing is doing anything currently but there is no audible sound coming from it. I will get some sighted help with this but it isn’t looking hopeful. If repair needed here best in the uk to have it done? Due to upgrade in march/april next year so don’t want to spend an arm and a leg on this.Thanks Andy ********************************************************************************************************************This message may contain confidential information.
