[QUOTE="tori_tor, post: 1376519, member: 240459"] This morning, to my horror, when I went to shut off the alarm on my iphone, in my grogginess I dropped it right into a glass of drinking water I keep by my bed. I snatched it out immediately, literally olympic speed (maybe 3 seconds tops), and patted it dry. There is no obvious water damage on the phone, except for the fact that the submersion indicator in the earphone jack is pink and my touchscreen is totally unresponsive. Nothing else seems amiss. The phone never turned off, the buttons never stopped working. Just the touchscreen. I stayed up all night researching how to fix my phone. I have a packet of silica gel on the way, and the poor drowned thing is currently sitting in a baggie of uncooked rice. My question is this: how serious is an unresponsive touchscreen? Is this something that the baggie of rice/silica gel trick might be able to fix? Or is the damage fatal enough that I should just head over to the apple store and get a replacement? Thanks guys :)!
