iPhone Bake out

March 31st, 2009 by robg

I got my iphone almost working again!

Its a simple recpe:

  • Bottle of Distilled (De-mineralised) water
  • Water damaged iPhone
  • Rice (probably not necessary)

Wash iphone in distilled water. To insulate against the metal of the oven tray place iPhone on bed of rice. Bake for at least 4 hours at about 60 degrees centigrade .

Hopefully your iphone will again work, if not, throw iPhone away and eat rice.

The above worked for me, My iPhone still has some weirdness though. Camera is stuffed, as is the GPS. If the phone had been off when it was damaged I imagine that these problems wouldn’t have occurred. And the screen has some permanent water damage, a cloudy pattern which is always visible. Still better than a brick.
