How can I repair my iPhone 4S which fell into water?
My wife dropped her iphone 4S in water for about 4-5 seconds. The phone turns on but the display doesnt. I put the phone in a large sandwich bag with rice for about 4 days. The phone is on but i cant see anything. I did a reset by holding down the power button and home button and after a few seconds i can see the display for about ahalf of a second to a second and then it goes black again. i can also hear the siri coming on if i hold the home button down but i dont see anything. Is this iphone still repairable? Please help. Thank you Willie
Ist dies eine gute Frage?

Thank you everyone for your inputs. I really do appreciate them all. I lways heard that when you want to dry an electronic device from water damage that you should but it in rice so thats what i did. I am also going to try washing everything out in the 90% alcohol and letting it all dry. I already got her a new phone. In fact i upgraded to the 5S and gave her my iphone 5. I had insurance on the phone. But I would still like to fix the phone and keep it as a spare. I also have an old iphone 4 but I dont think that the parts on an Iphone 4 will fit or work on a iphone 4S. I will look into it. Again thank you for everyones input. Please keep them coming

So...you didn't buy her a *new*phone...you just gave her your old ph! You got yourself a new one!
What's with husband's passing on older versions to their wives? Can'nt they buy them new and themselves keep what ever they have?! In a nutshell that's showing I'm male, I'm superior to you!

I dropped my phone in water for 4-6 seconds and then put it in rice for 2 days and then my sound doesn't work without headphones or speakers. I dropped it in water 3 months ago and even every now and then my headphones don't work. All my headphones work on my family's phones but only one of the sides work on phone and this is every pair of headphones.
