My IPhone 3g is still missing.....






That sucks. Maybe let it dry out for a week or so and see if it works? Hopefully it wasn't very high concentration of pop so there is all gooped up in there with sugar.

No matter what, I bet you could sell it on Ebay, even in that state.
 
if you are gonna trash it for sure. I would soak it in de-ionized water. for about an hour with out the battery. Then swich it around to loosen any minerals inside then blow it with a can of keyboard cleaner.
 
Poor you... get a replacement for 199$ and once its dry you go to the store, ther a defective water sticker on iphone..
 
a replacement cost over $400
It's only $199 if you are eligable for an upgrade.

Yes there is a defective water sticker inside the phone.
 
Take out the battery as soon as possible.. You'll have to wedge off the back using a soft tool of some sort... A credit card works well.

Now, put your phone in a glass of fresh water. Yeah really, I'm serious. Use distilled water if you can. Swirl it around, make sure you soak out any of the sugary goo inside. Take it out, shake out as much water as you can, then put it somewhere warm with lots of ventilation for at least a week before putting the battery back in.

I've used this method to resurrect a laptop drenched in cola, a cellphone that went swimming in a gin and tonic, and a cellphone that was in my friend's pocket as he took a dip in the ocean.

The theory here is that water doesn't actually harm electronics, it's pretty much nonconductive.. It's the salt or sugar in a beverage that causes the real harm.

Yes I understand this, but unfortionatly, thing where broken on it....aka like the screen. I know it's all replaceable but, I have already given up on this lost cause and have started looking at new phones.

Does anyone know if the DX phones are decent or not. I can't afford the rediculous prices that ATT wants for a phone, without the upgrade option.
 
If you want a cheap phone that's nearly indestructible, has great voice quality, great reception, and great battery life, pick up a motorola f3 FONE off ebay, they go for about $30 brand new, unlocked.

I've had one for a year and a half now and I'm generally really brutal to my phones.. Best phone I've ever had.

Doesn't have a lot of fancy features, no web browser, no camera, etc, but the one thing it does, it does really well, and that's make calls.

Thanks for the advice, bad part about that phone is that I have to pay for an unlimited internet plan that I had to get with the Iphone. So I really want a phone that can go on the web.
 
If you are going to throw it away otherwise, I'd be happy to take it off your hands (of course I would pay shipping).

What do you want it for, if you don't mind me asking? I kind of want to take it out to the shooting range at work..............Or just keep it as a momento
 
I have several uses for it - if I can't get it to do anything useful (logic board(s) dead), then I would salvage other parts from it, since quite a few people I know have damaged iPhones. If it works but with major flaws (damaged GSM board) then I would use it for iPhone app development - I would like to get into coding and development.
 
WAIT!

You can stop the thing inside it that tells apple its water damage >:D.

Get a cotton swab, and dab it with alcohol, then go into the Headphone jack and look for the red colored paper, and dab that with alcohol using the swab until its white. Take it to apple tell them its not water damage if you have warrenty.

ORR!

Just wait.

3-4 new iPhones are coming out, and a Zune Phone. Not kidding. Thats what I'm waiting for, I already have an iPhone tho :P.
