My iPhone 11 Dipped in Bath Water—Now It Won't Charge!
Asked by

I dropped my iPhone 11 in the bath and it seemed fine at first. About eight hours later, the screen went all pixilated and colorful in a strange way, but then it fixed itself after twenty minutes. However, now the charging port isn't working, and I'm worried about potential internal damage since the back is slightly broken and exposing some of the inside. It's been about 15 hours since the incident. I also noticed that my battery is draining much faster than usual. Any advice?

Yikes, this is why people should be more careful with their devices! Honestly, it sounds like a goner. You might want to start thinking about a replacement.

You should try leaving it in a bag of silica gel packets for a day to help draw out any moisture. But honestly, you might be facing an expensive repair bill. Water and electronics don’t mix well!

Honestly, your phone might be toast. Water can be a serious issue, especially with the battery. It's probably best to stop using it to avoid further risks. Plus, Apple just released new models if you're considering an upgrade!

Make sure to turn off the phone and let it dry out completely. It might still be salvageable, but don’t take any risks with water in the battery!
