[QUOTE="berkng, post: 1190845, member: 193274"] [b]A similar problem[/b] This seems like the right thread to post. A few days ago I spilled some water on my iPhone 4. Not too much, but I hastily put it in the bag of rice I keep just for this purpose. It's fine now. The problem is that a piece of rice inadvertently got into the headphone jack, and I didn't know about it, so the next morning when I groggily moved to put my headphones in, I ended up squishing rice paste all over the inside of my headphone jack. I tried for a bit to fish some out using a toothpick, but the damage had already been done by my headphones. Today the rice is hard and stuck at the bottom, as well as some residue along the sides. It's a very sticky situation, and I would like my headphone jack back without having to pay apple. I'm considering trying to use some alcohol as a solvent, as it shouldn't damage the phone, but if there are other solvents for rice out there I'd love to hear. Any advice? [/QUOTE]
