Successful Repair of Wet iPhone...
 

Well, my daughter dunked my wife's iPhone 4 in the tub and of course it immediately quit. Tried opening it but the new iPhones have that tiny 5 point Torx.

Then I started thinking how to get water out from inside the phone and it hit me. Vacuum.

Not a vacuum cleaner, but a vacuum pump. Mechanics use vacuum to boil off any moisture in an A/C system and dry components out so why wouldn't it work with a phone? So I put the iPhone into a glass container, connected a vacuum pump at work and let it sit for two hours. Take it out and it fired right up.

So forget all those tricks using silica gel or rice and use vacuum instead.

buddy left his bb in rice for a week? and it worked again

^ +1 My sister dropped her phone in the water before, let it sit in a bowl of rice for a couple days and it started up no problem.

The vacuum seal is genius though lol, and probably a hell of a lot quicker

put rice in too! 2x the effectiveness
