I knocked my iPhone in water...?

So, I knocked my iPhone 3GS in some water (about an inch's worth) but didn't realize that I had, and I'd say it was in the water for about 3-5 minutes tops. I could see some water in the screen and I shook excess water out/off. I used a vacuum cleaner, well, the tube attachment and used it on every input of the phone for at least 5 minutes per input (charging base, earphone jack, sim card hole, etc.) and I could see the water getting "sucked" out, if you will, to the point that there was no water in the screen. I idiotically pushed the power button before I did all of this though, yeah, ha, I panicked. The Apple logo was on the screen when I did this and there was still water in the iPhone of course. I know this increases the whopping chance(s) that my iPhone will not work because I may have short-circuited it. I used a low heat blow dryer on each input for about 3 minutes per input. I then repeated the vacuum bit and I have it sitting in rice with silicon (combination). I'm going to repeat doing all of this for the next few days, but basically, my questionSSS are:



Has anyone gotten their iPhone to work after being wet AND pushing buttons?

Has anyone gotten their wet iPhone to work, period and do you have any suggestions?

IF it came down to it, and I have to get a new iPhone, and put my SIM card in it, how do I replace everything via past backups and what's the best way to go about getting as much of the past memory back as possible?



I know, long posted details, I apologize, ha...but I can't upgrade my iPhone for 6 more months, so I'm trying to get as much advice/information as possible if even to POSSIBLY avoid getting it fully replaced.

Anyway, cheers for reading and if you answer, I will appreciate it heaps!

You need to try Silica Gel Packets to dry out your phone. There was a good article on associatedcontent.com that explains how to dry a wet cell phone, iPods, or any electronics. You need to place your phone in a zip lock bag with Silica Gel Packets. Silica Gel will remove all the moisture from the phone and its components, something air drying will not do!



Just Google "Silica Gel Packets" and you will find several companies selling these products. There is also a web site called: http://www.SilicaGelPackets.com that has them.

I've done this before. Put your phone and battery in plain dry white rice leave it in there for about 5 days , but DO NOT turn it on it could really mess the prossess up .
